Abstract

One or more scheduling grants may be received from a Node B related to a plurality of uplink MIMO streams. A determination may be made as to a primary transport power and a primary transport block size for a primary stream. A secondary transmit power and a secondary transport block size for a secondary stream may also be determined. An enhanced relative grant channel from the Node B, as well as another E-RGC from a non-serving Node B may be received for each of the plurality of uplink MIMO streams.
