Abstract:
A method for setting up channels in a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) communication system through which WCDMA signals are transported in channels through a transport layer, and for effectively allocating WCDMA signal transport resources in the WCDMA system, comprising the steps of:accessing a stored tree of codes that are provided to the WCDMA system which set out a channelisation protocol for the system so that the WCDMA signals will be transported through the WCDMA system in channels specified by the channelisation protocol; partitioning at least one of the codes in the tree of codes into a branch of codes prior to receiving a request for a new channel, thereby reserving a set of resources in the WCDMA system for set-up of the channel which is associated with the branch of codes; and setting up the channel according to set-up data found in the branch of codes which relates to the channelisation protocol, thereby allocating the set of resources to the set-up channel according to the set-up data found in the branch of codes.
