System and method for selecting an optimal transport format combination using progressive candidate set reduction

Abstract

A system and method is disclosed for selecting an optimal transport format combination using progressive set reduction. A base station in a third generation wireless telecommunication system assigns a transport format combination set to user equipment (UE). The system and method (1400) of the invention selects a best-fit transport format combination (TFC) by progressively identifying TFC candidates in the transport format combination set that are not best-fit candidates in the UE (1440). The system and method of the invention progressively reduces the complete TFC Set to a much smaller TFC Set to be searched through (1460) for the best-fit TFC at most times in the UE. This significantly reduces the search time in the UE. The non best-fit candidates are progressively deleted until only one TFC candidate remains. The sole remaining TFC candidate is the optimal best-fit TFC candidate (1460).
