Method and apparatus for controlling serving grant of user terminal of neighboring cell

An apparatus for controlling a serving grant of a user equipment (UE) through a common enhanced dedicated channel relative grant channel (E-RGCH) of a neighboring cell of a cell to which the UE belongs, wherein the UE in a cell-forward access channel (CELL-FACH) state or in an idle state, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the processor, the programming instructions instruct the processor to:
• set at least one controlled condition;
• send the at least one controlled condition to the UE, the at least one controlled condition comprises a serving grant threshold, wherein the serving grant threshold is for the UE determining whether the serving grant of the UE is higher than the serving grant threshold, and adjusting the serving grant based on a control command obtained from the common E-RGCH when the serving grant of the UE is higher than the serving grant threshold.
