Method and apparatus for providing uplink packet data service in asynchronous wcdma system

An apparatus for providing a packet data service in an asynchronous Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor for determining a combination of physical channel elements based on sets that include combinations of physical channel elements and a first Puncturing Limit (PL);
• and
• a transmitter for transmitting a packet data using the determined physical channel elements,
• wherein a second PL is used for the physical channel element up to a maximum transmission rate among the sets when no combination of physical channel elements are available to satisfy the first PL.

A method for providing a packet data service in an asynchronous Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, the method comprising:

• receiving control information including a Transport Block Size (TBS) used for receiving uplink transport channel data;
• determining a combination of physical channel elements based on sets that include combinations of physical channel elements and a first Puncturing Limit (PL);
• and
• receiving the uplink transport channel data using the determined physical channel elements,
• wherein a second PL is used for the physical channel element up to a maximum transmission rate among the sets when no combination of physical channel elements are available to satisfy the first PL.

An apparatus for providing a packet data service in an asynchronous Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, the apparatus comprising:
