Abstract:
1. A method for determining an Enhanced Dedicated Channel Dedicated Physical Data Channel (E-DPDCH) gain factor in compressed mode, comprising: determining the E-DPDCH gain factor in compressed mode according to the number of E-DPDCH required for initial transmission of data; when L wherein β and β c is a DPCCH gain factor in non-compressed mode; β ed,ref,1 and β ed,ref,2 denote E-DPDCH gain factors of first and second reference E-TFCs respectively; L e,ref,1 and L e,ref,2 denote the number of E-DPDCHs used for the first and second reference E-TFCs respectively; K e,ref,1 and K e,ref,2 denote the transport block sizes of the first and second reference E-TFCs respectively; K e,i denotes the transport block size of the i:th E-TFC; Δ harq denotes an offset of the HARQ; N pilot,C is the number of pilot bits per slot on the DPCCH in compressed frame; N pilot,N is the number of pilot bits per slot on the DPCCH in non-compressed frame; and N slots,I is the number of non Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) slots in a frame used for initial transmission of data; and transmitting a signal using the determined E-DPDCH gain factor.
