Abstract

An apparatus and method in which an Enhanced Uplink Dedicated transport CHannel (EUDCH) is used in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system is provided. In a User Equipment (UE), when physical channels for transmitting EUDCH data are transmitted in addition to existing physical channels, a Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of an uplink transport signal increases. The increase in PAPR depends upon Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes allocated to the corresponding physical channels and In-phase/Quadrature-phase (I/Q) channels. Therefore, the apparatus and method allocate optimum OVSF codes and I/Q channels to EUDCH-related physical channels in order to minimize an increase in PAPR due to EUDCH.
