Abstract:
1. A method, at a user equipment (“UE”), for High Speed Downlink Packet Access (“HSDPA”) de-activation, comprising: determining whether a number of serving HSDPA cell changes of the UE exceeds a threshold within a time period; sending a first transition indication from the UE to a network node to deactivate HSDPA if the threshold is exceeded within the time period; and after a second time period, sending a second transition indication to the network node to resume HSDPA, wherein the second time period is one of a constant, a parameter signaled by the network, a function of network characteristics, and a function of HSDPA cell change frequency; wherein the first transition indication indicates that the UE does not support HSDPA and the second transition indication indicates that the UE supports HSDPA.
