Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: exchanging a lower layer order to activate or de-activate a secondary carrier for a user equipment (UE), wherein the lower layer order comprises a first Shared Control Channel for HS-DSCH (HS-SCCH) order sent by a Node B to the UE; communicating on only an anchor carrier if the lower layer order de-activates the secondary carrier; communicating on the anchor carrier and the secondary carrier if the lower layer order activates the secondary carrier; exchanging a second HS-SCCH order to activate or de-activate HS-SCCH-less operation at the UE; and exchanging data without signaling if the second HS-SCCH order activates HS-SCCH-less operation.
