Abstract
The architecture of the high-speed shared service provides a Node B yielding various sets of information that answer a set of basic questions that a data service needs. Many potential measurements the Node B can make are provided to the RNC to enable a resource manager to perform certain functions and which can be used to answer the set of basic questions.
Claims20
In a Node B, a method for reporting measurements to a radio network controller (RNC) and scheduling downlink transmissions for high speed packet data services, the method comprising:
- the Node B performing measurement including a first total power level used for downlink transmissions for high speed packet data services in a cell and a second total power level used for downlink transmissions for non-high speed packet data services in the cell;
- the Node B sending a report to the RNC including the first total power level and the second total power level to enable the RNC to make resource allocation for the high speed packet data services based on the first total power level and the second total power level;
- the Node B receiving the resource allocation for the high speed packet data services from the RNC;
- and
- the Node B scheduling downlink transmissions for the high speed packet data services within the resource allocation.
2 more elements
A Node B comprising:
- a scheduler configured to receive resource allocation for high speed packet data services from a radio network controller (RNC) and perform scheduling for the high speed packet data services within the resource allocation, wherein the Node B is configured to perform measurement including a first total power level used for downlink transmissions for the high speed packet data services in a cell and a second total power level used for downlink transmissions for non-high speed packet data services in the cell, and send a report to the RNC including the first total power level and the second total power level to enable the RNC to make the resource allocation for the high speed packet data services based on the first total power level and the second total power level.
