Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatus for configuring NodeB triggering of HS-DPCCH within a UMTS system.
Claims24
A method for configuring a NodeB to trigger standalone HS-DPCCH (High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel) without ongoing E-DCH (Enhanced Dedicated Channel) transmission within a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) system, the method comprising:
- determining for the NodeB a first parameter (RepPeriod) value indicative of a time period within which the NodeB will repeatedly transmit toward a UE a HS-SCCH order adapted to trigger a standalone HS-DPCCH at the UE;
- and
- determining for the NodeB a second parameter (MaxRepetition) value indicative of a number of times the HS-SCCH order will be transmitted to the UE before the NodeB initiates a downlink blind transmission when the UE has no uplink data to transmit;
- and
- using said first and second parameter values within a policy for said NodeB.
A telecom network element for configuring a NodeB to trigger standalone HS-DPCCH (High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel) without ongoing E-DCH (Enhanced Dedicated Channel) transmission within a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) system, comprising a processor configured for:
- determining for the NodeB a first parameter (RepPeriod) value indicative of a time period within which the NodeB will repeatedly transmit toward a UE a HS-SCCH order adapted to trigger a standalone HS-DPCCH at the UE;
- determining for the NodeB a second parameter (MaxRepetition) value indicative of a number of times the HS-SCCH order will be transmitted to the UE before the NodeB initiates a downlink blind transmission when the UE has no uplink data to transmit;
- and
- transmitting toward the NodeB the determined first and second parameter values to adapt thereby the operation of the NodeB responsive to a standalone HS-DPCCH without ongoing E-DCH transmission.
A tangible and non-transient computer readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, adapt the operation of the computer to provide a method for configuring a NodeB to trigger standalone HS-DPCCH (High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel) without ongoing E-DCH (Enhanced Dedicated Channel) transmission within a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) system, the method comprising:
- determining for the NodeB a first parameter (RepPeriod) value indicative of a time period within which the NodeB will repeatedly transmit toward a UE a HS-SCCH order adapted to trigger a standalone HS-DPCCH at the UE;
- determining for the NodeB a second parameter (MaxRepetition) value indicative of a number of times the HS-SCCH order will be transmitted to the UE before the NodeB initiates a downlink blind transmission when the UE has no uplink data to transmit;
- and
- transmitting toward the NodeB the determined first and second parameter values to adapt thereby the operation of the NodeB responsive to a standalone HS-DPCCH without ongoing E-DCH transmission.
A computer program product wherein computer instructions, when executed by a processor in a telecom network element, adapt the operation of the telecom network element to provide a method for configuring a NodeB to trigger standalone HS-DPCCH (High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel) without ongoing E-DCH (Enhanced Dedicated Channel) transmission within a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) system, the method comprising:
- determining for the NodeB a first parameter (RepPeriod) value indicative of a time period within which the NodeB will repeatedly transmit toward a UE a HS-SCCH order adapted to trigger a standalone HS-DPCCH at the UE;
- determining for the NodeB a second parameter (MaxRepetition) value indicative of a number of times the HS-SCCH order will be transmitted to the UE before the NodeB initiates a downlink blind transmission when the UE has no uplink data to transmit;
- and
- transmitting toward the NodeB the determined first and second parameter values to adapt thereby the operation of the NodeB responsive to a standalone HS-DPCCH without ongoing E-DCH transmission.
