Abstract:
1. A method for dynamically setting a number N of High-Speed Shared Control Channel (HS-SCCH) channels to be used as signalling signaling channels of a High-Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) traffic channel in a cell served by a Node B, which comprises, at predefined periods of time: determining the number N of HS-SCCH channels as a function of one or more of the following: wherein when the number N of HS-SCCH channels is determined as a function of average used downlink transmitted power and the number of users in the scheduler of the HS-DSCH channel for data traffic, the number N of HS-SCCH channels needed is determined, at each transmission time interval (TTI) according to the following: if the average used downlink transmitted power is above a pre-established percentage of the maximum downlink transmission power of the cell, Cell_Max_DL_TX_power, then N is set to the minimum of N−1 and 1.
