TFCS Selection Algorithms in the Mac Functionality of 3GPP

Abstract

Transfer of mobile users’ data by means of sharing the finite radio bandwidth becomes more and more popular today. However, due to the increasing of the number of mobile users day by day, the lack of bandwidth is more serious. This paper investigates the Transport Format Combination Set (TFCS) selection problem in 3GPP and proposes effective methods for TFCS selection to dynamically map logical channels with vary data bit rate on-demand to transport channels so as to utilize the finite bandwidth. The methods of selection demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency by simulation.
