Abstract:
1. A method for selective channel reset, comprising: determining that a candidate cell exhibits superior communication properties on a carrier than does a serving cell, wherein the carrier corresponds to a channel in use by the serving cell, and wherein the superior communication properties comprise at least one of a higher signal strength, a greater bandwidth, and a higher throughput; adding, by a controller, a reset flag to a High Speed Media Access Channel (MAC-HS) reset message based on determining that the candidate cell exhibits the superior communication properties, wherein the reset flag instructs a user equipment to reset a subset of channels of a set of channels associated with the serving cell, wherein the subset of channels is less than all channels of the set of channels and includes the channel, and wherein the set of channels comprises a set of MAC-HS channels; and transmitting the MAC-HS reset message.
