Fast uplink data transmission using e-dch enhanced random access without a ue specific e-rnti

A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• obtain user plane data for transmission to one or more components of a wireless network;
• create a control message comprising the user plane data and a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI) for the wireless communications apparatus;
• and
• transmit the control message over common control resources provided by a Node B;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

An apparatus, comprising:

• means for receiving user plane data for transmitting over a wireless network;
• means for generating a control message that includes the user plane data;
• means for indicating a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI) in the control message;
• and
• means for communicating the control message over a set of common control resources provided by a Node B.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium comprising:
• code for causing at least one computer to receive user plane data for transmitting to a wireless network;
• code for causing the at least one computer to generate a control message comprising the user plane data and a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI);
• and
• code for causing the at least one computer to transmit the control message over common control resources provided by a Node B.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a user plane data component that receives user plane data for transmitting over a wireless network;
• a message generating component that creates a control message including the user plane data;
• a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI) indicating component that specifies a U-RNTI in the control message;
• and
• a control channel communicating component that transmits the control message over a set of common control resources provided by a Node B.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a control message over provided common control resources;
• determining that the control message comprises user plane data;
• extracting a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI) from the control message;
• and
• transmitting the user plane data and the U-RNTI to an RNC for processing.

A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:

• detect presence of user plane data in the control message;
• extract a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI) related to the UE from the control message;
• and
• transmit the user plane data and the U-RNTI to a radio network controller (RNC) for subsequent processing;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.
