Title: Procede et appareil pour minimiser la redondance des demandes d'allocation de liaison montante amelioree
Inventor: ZHANG GUODONG
IPC: H04B7/00
Filed: 2005-04-26
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil minimisant les demandes d'attribution de liaisons améliorées (EU) ascendantes et les erreurs de transmission sur liaisons ascendantes améliorées isolant les fautes se produisant entre une unité d'émission/réception sans fil (WTRU) et un Noeud-B. La WTRU transmet une demande d'attribution de canal amélioré dédié (E-DCH) au Noeud-B via un canal EU de liaison ascendant. Dans une exécution, si l'attribution du E-DCH ne peut se faire pendant un laps de temps déterminé, le Noeud-B envoie un AR à la WTRU via un canal de signalisation (DL) EU sans envoyer d'information sur l'attribution du E-DCH. La demande est mise en file d'attente dans le Noeud-B et la WTRU cesse de transmettre la même demande jusqu'à expiration du laps de temps, ou jusqu'à ce que des ressources deviennent disponibles. Dans une autre exécution, des mesures appropriées sont prises pour corriger les erreurs de transmission de l'EU en déterminant si la demande d'attribution du E-DCH a été transmise sans succès via le canal UL EU ou si l'information d'attribution de canal transmise a été transmise sans succès via le canal de signalisation DL EU.
