Abstract:
1. 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 High Speed-Shared Control channel (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.
