Abstract  Abstract

A wireless communication system (e.g., UMTS) and method employing channel transport format allocation in a shared uplink channel between a UE (130A) and a Nole B (150A) of the system, and wherein the UE can determine a transport format combination which it can support, by: detecting in the UE a change in transport format combination that the UE can support; and sending to the Node B an indication of transport format combination that the radio unit can support, whereby efficiency of channel transport format allocation in the system may be improved. A conditional delay mechanism may be employed to reduce signalling overhead. This allows uplink shared channels to be efficiently used by providing a means by which UTRAN (UMTS terrestrial radio access network) is informed of the TFCs within the TFCs which can be used in the uplink by the UE. This enables (i) spare shared channel physical resources to be allocated to other shared channel users, so increasing overall throughput, and (ii) the user to be provided when appropriate with the highest possible uplink rate that can be supported.
