Abstract:
A method and apparatus for identifying and reporting a non-operational enhanced uplink (EU) signaling channel. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) sends a channel allocation request for an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) to a Node-B through an uplink (UL) EU signaling channel. In response to the request, the Node-B sends channel allocation information to the WTRU through one or more downlink (DL) EU signaling channels. If the WTRU does not receive the channel allocation information before a predetermined time period established by a request response timer expires, the WTRU reports a non-operational EU signaling channel to a radio network controller (RNC) via the Node-B. The Node-B reports a non-operational EU signaling channel when the Node-B does not receive E-DCH data transmissions after sending the channel allocation information, or receives subsequent E-DCH data transmissions which are inconsistent with the channel allocation information.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus of network management using a perceived indicator to provide physical layer measurements in a multitude of stations in the network, either by way of radio frequency power, or observed signal to noise plus interference (PSNI) from each access point, to report the measurements, to collect the measurements, and using the reported PSNI values as a signal quality indicator of delivered bit error rate or frame error rate (FER) to evaluate, reconfigure, and manage multiple stations in order to optimize the network or network performance.
Abstract:
A method for maximizing battery efficiency of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a predetermined number of high-speed shared control channels (HS-SCCHs) are identified and WTRUs are instructed to monitor the HS-SCCHs according to a predetermined schedule. The predetermined schedule can include monitoring the HS-SCCHs in the same timeslot, either a timeslot just for the HS-SCCHs or a timeslot utilized by another channel.
Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for providing assistance data to wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). The assistance data includes information regarding the access point's neighboring access points. The assistance data is transmitted to WTRUs using multicast and/or broadcast type signaling and facilitates ring and handover of WTRUs from one access point to another.
Abstract:
A method for data related downlink signaling including selectively tailoring the UE ID to create a UE ID value (408A) to a data field (402) to create a data mask (411). This data mask (411) is then encoded with a CRC generator (404) to produce (404) and transmitted with the data field (402) to provide CRC-related functions. An alternative embodiment discloses initializing with UE identification prior to CRC generation. This implicitly includes the UE ID within the CRC without requiring additional overhead signaling.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a TFI to be transmitted in a PAN field without using explicit bits to identify a TBF.SOLUTION: There is provided a method comprising: generating a PAN check sequence (PCS) based on a piggybacked acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (PAN) field; masking a subset of PCS bits with a temporary flow identity (TFI) of a TBF to which the PAN field is addressed to generate a masked PCS; and generating a data block including a header, a data part, the PAN field and the masked PCS.
Abstract:
A method comprising: determining, by a user equipment, transport format combinations (TFCs) out of a set of transport format combinations (TFCS) that exceed a maximum transmit power level; wherein the TFCs of the TFCS have an order; and selecting, by a user equipment, a TFC for transmission of uplink data based on the order of TFCs and are TFCs that are determined to not exceed the maximum transmit power level.
Abstract:
A user equipment, UE, comprising means for taking a plurality of measurements based on a downlink quality, wherein each of the plurality of measurements is taken on a respective downlink resource of a plurality of downlink resources; means for deriving a first channel quality indication indicating a channel quality of the plurality of downlink resources; means for deriving a difference between the first channel quality indication and a channel quality indication for each of the plurality of downlink resources; and means for transmitting at least one report including the first channel quality indication and the plurality of difference indications.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to a method and system for transferring wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)-specific information to support enhanced uplink (EU) operation in a wireless communication system. A radio network controller (RNC) obtains WTRU-specific information, and transfers the WTRU-specific information to the Node-Bs. Each Node-B is configured to schedule uplink transmissions from a WTRU and utilizes the WTRU-specific information in operation of EU transmissions.
Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for providing intelligent remote access to wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). A translator is provided in base stations so that system controllers may issue application level network management protocol messages to base stations. The messages are transmitted by the translator to a medium access control (MAC) messaging protocol and forwarded to WTRUs. Information provided by WTRUs to base stations is translated from a MAC protocol to an application level network management protocol so that the information may be accessed by system controllers using application level network management protocols.
