Note 3: The IE "Downlink transport channel type" values " DSCH” and “DCH+DSCH " should not be used for FDD. If received the UE behaviour is unspecified.

Note 4: If included in System Information Block Type 16, the values ‘HS-DSCH’ and ‘DCH + HS-DSCH’ do not apply for the IE "Downlink transport channel type". Furthermore, if included in System Information Block Type 16, the value "E-DCH” for the IE "Uplink transport channel type" does not apply.

Note 5: If the IE "Downlink transport channel type" is "HS-DSCH" or "DCH + HS-DSCH" and the DL MAC header type is "MAC-ehs", the IE "Logical channel identity" conveys the value to be used in the "LCH-ID" field of the MAC-ehs header [15], associating the logical channel with the MAC-ehs reordering queue identified by the IE "DL HS-DSCH MAC-ehs Queue Id".

Note 6: If the radio bearer has a multiplexing option configured with the UL MAC header type of "MAC-i/is" then this value is ignored.
