Handheld device, base station and transmission control method thereof

A transmission control method for use in a handheld device, the handheld device comprising a processor and a transceiver, the transceiver being electrically connected to the processor, the transmission control method comprising the following steps:

• (a) generating, by the processor, an uplink signal having an uplink dedicated physical data channel (UL DPDCH) according to a transmission type which configures the processor to use only 15 non-transmission gap (non-TG) data slots within two radio frames to carry user data without using all non-TG data slots within the two radio frames of the UL DPDCH to carry the user data for reducing power consumption in the handheld device when the processor has successfully and early decoded a downlink data frame of downlink data received from the base station or when the base station only uses 15 non-TG data slots within the two radio frames of DL DPDCH to carry the downlink data;
• and
• (b) transmitting, by the transceiver, the uplink signal to a base station.

A base station comprising:

• a transceiver, being configured to receive an uplink signal from a handheld device, wherein the uplink signal comprises an uplink dedicated physical data channel (UL DPDCH) and the handheld device uses only 15 non-transmission gap (non-TG) data slots within two radio frames to carry user data without using all non-TG data slots within the two radio frames of the UL DPDCH to carry the user data for reducing power consumption in the handheld device when the handheld device has successfully and early decoded a downlink data frame of downlink data received from the base station or when the base station only uses 15 non-TG data slots within the two radio frames of DL DPDCH to carry the downlink data;
• and
• a processor, being electrically connected to the transceiver and configured to retrieve the user data from the 15 non-TG data slots.

A transmission control method for use in a base station, the base station comprising a transceiver and a processor, the processor being electrically connected to the transceiver, the transmission control method comprising the following steps:

• receiving, by the transceiver, an uplink signal transmitted from a handheld device, wherein the uplink signal comprises an uplink dedicated physical data channel (UL DPDCH), and the handheld device uses only 15 non-transmission gap (non-TG) data slots within two radio frames to carry user data without using all non-TG data slots within the two radio frames of the UL DPDCH to carry the user data for reducing power consumption in the handheld device when the handheld device has successfully and early decoded a downlink data frame of downlink data received from the base station or when the base station only uses 15 non-TG data slots within the two radio frames of DL DPDCH to carry the downlink data;
• and
• retrieving, by the processor, the user data from the 15 non-TG data slots.
