Abstract:
1. A method of transmitting level-1 signaling from a Node B to User Equipment (UE) in a UTRAN wireless communication network, comprising: encoding an L1 signaling flag in Part 1 of a High Speed Shared Control Channel (HS-SCCH), wherein the L1 signaling flag indicates that Part 2 of the HS-SCCH includes an L1 Discontinuous Reception (DRX) command to be decoded by a UE receiving the HS-SCCH; encoding the L1 DRX command indicated by the L1 signaling flag in Part 2 of the HS-SCCH; transmitting the HS-SCCH to one or more UEs; monitoring a Random Access Channel (RACH) for an acknowledgement of the L1DRX command from a User Equipment (UE); and receiving the acknowledgement of the L1 DRX command from the UE on the RACH.
