Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a processor configured to insert at least one control parameter into at least one kind of control message; and a transceiver configured to transmit said control message from a controller of a communications network over an interface to a network element to enable the network element to configure at least one communication channel between the network element and a user device, wherein said at least one control parameter comprises at least one of: sets of a modulation and coding schemes from which said network element can choose every transmission time interval for high speed downlink packet access transmissions; the number of code channels which will be assigned to high speed downlink shared channels used by said network element; an indication of a transmission time interval length to be used by said network element; and one or more parameters to be used by said network element to configure a hybrid automatic repeat request implemented in said network element.
