Abstract
A Calculated Transport Format Combination (CTFC) provides efficient signalling of transport format combinations to be assigned TFCI values. A sequence of CTFCs is signalled from higher layers ( ) to Node B ( ) and the user equipment (UE) ( ), where each CTFC in order is allocated a TFCI value. From the CTFC both Node B and the user equipment (UE) can determine the exact transport format combinations the TFCI values (used to communicate between Node B and UE) represent. The sequence of CTFC values includes only CTFC values for valid combinations of transport formats.
