The exemplary embodiments of this invention include apparatus, methods and computer program products that provide a signaling scheme that enables the execution of an uplink gating feature. In one non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, the signaling scheme is an Iub/Iur signaling scheme and the uplink gating feature is an uplink dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) gating feature, for example, as may be utilized within a wideband code divisional multiple access (WCDMA) communication network. In one non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: sending a first message from a base station towards a network element in a communications network, wherein the first message includes a first parameter that is indicative of a capability for supporting uplink gating in a cell under the base station; and sending a second message from the network element towards the base station, wherein the second message includes an instruction for uplink gating in the cell.

The specification and drawings present a new method, system, apparatus and software product for providing combining capability information of a Node B (supporting a cell to which a user equipment is set-up) to radio network controllers as related to HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access). The Node B can support among others, e.g., incremental redundancy (IR) combining and/or Chase combining. Furthermore, the combining capability information of the node B can be, e.g., for combining data received on an uplink enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH).
摘要:
A base station (Node B) 12 provides information to a Radio Network Controller (RNC) 16 on how well User Equipment (UE) 14 subject to Node B scheduling is served for an Enhanced Dedicated Uplink Channel (E-DCH). This may be done for instance by the Node B measuring or estimating 22 the requested data rate per UE/cell, and communicating 24 the measured or estimated information to the RNC for enabling the RNC to perform Radio Resource Management (RRM). The RNC is thereby enabled to know the quality of the E-DCH transmission service per UE/cell. In addition to helping Admission Control and Load Control, it also enables the RNC to reconfigure the transport format combination set (TFCS) for E-DCH with more accurate timing. The UE and the Node B exchange information such as rate request/grant or UE Buffer and Transmit Power Status/Scheduling Assignment.

The specification and drawings present a new method, system, apparatus and software product for defining/setting a power of a dual acknowledgement signal provided in an uplink by a user equipment to a network element (e.g., Node B) for acknowledging two transport blocks, e.g., comprised in one TTI, transmitted in a downlink by the network element, according to a predetermined criterion, wherein the user equipment and the network element can be configured to support a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode and/or a high speed downlink packet access.
摘要:
A method, an apparatus and a communication system for collision detection for a random access procedure for an uplink data channel. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a module configured to transmit a data transmission on the uplink data channel, and an uplink scheduling and signal generating module configured to select random access parameters for a random access procedure and schedule the data transmission using the random access parameters for the random access procedure. The uplink scheduling and signal generating module is also configured to interrupt the data transmission after a predetermined time interval if the apparatus does not receive a permission signal from a network element during the predetermined time interval.

Parameters are defined for use on an interface (lub/lur) between network elements to enable configuration setup of an enhanced radio uplink (UL E-DCH). The basic Information Elements (IEs) are defined to support UL E-DCH functionality in the network on lub/lur. Particular parameters are shown for communication over the lub/lur interface between the RNCs and the Node Bs in order to be able to setup and re-configure the UL E-DCH channel. Flexibility is provided so as not to be restricted to any particular message or information element, but to be applicable to any selected message or messages in a given protocol.
