Abstract:
1. A control information processing method for a communications system, the method comprising: receiving, by a base station (Node B), a power offset (PO) value from a radio network controller (RNC) that supports high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), wherein the PO value is for a first high speed shared channel related to a second high-speed shared channel, and the receiving is performed via an interface between the base station and the RNC, wherein the first high speed shared channel is a high speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) and the second high speed shared channel is a high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH), wherein the first high speed shared channel is a control channel for the second high speed shared channel, wherein the HS-SCCH comprises a 2 ms sub-frame containing 3 slots, and wherein the interface is an Iub interface between the RNC and the base station used for providing the PO value; and determining a transmission power of the HS-SCCH using the received PO value, wherein the received PO value is relative to at least one field of a downlink dedicated physical channel (DL DPCH).
