Abstract
A system and method to perform fast transition time interval switching in an uplink multicarrier system. In one embodiment, an apparatus, and related method, is configured to receive a first user equipment power headroom (“UPH”) filtering value for a first uplink carrier from a user equipment, identify a measurement identifier with a first value for the first uplink carrier, and transmit the first UPH filtering value and the measurement identifier with the first value to a radio network controller.
Claims20
A method operable with a radio access node in a communication system having a first uplink carrier and a second uplink carrier, comprising:
- receiving a first user equipment power headroom (UPH) filtering value for said first uplink carrier from a user equipment (UE);
- identifying a measurement identifier with a first value for said first uplink carrier;
- transmitting said first UPH filtering value and said measurement identifier with said first value to a radio network controller (RNC);
- receiving a second UPH filtering value for said second uplink carrier from said user equipment;
- identifying said measurement identifier with a second value for said second uplink carrier;
- and
- transmitting said second UPH filtering value and said measurement identifier with said second value to said radio network controller.
An apparatus operable in a communication system having a first uplink carrier and a second uplink carrier, comprising:
- processing circuitry, configured to:
- receive a first user equipment power headroom (UPH) filtering value for said first uplink carrier from a user equipment (UE);
- identify a measurement identifier with a first value for said first uplink carrier;
- transmit said first UPH filtering value and said measurement identifier with said first value to a radio network controller (RNC);
- receive a second UPH filtering value for said second uplink carrier from said user equipment;
- identify said measurement identifier with a second value for said second uplink carrier;
- and
- transmit said second UPH filtering value and said measurement identifier with said second value to said radio network controller.
