Patent ID: 7953430

Claim:
A method of managing radio resources between serving uplink channels of first user equipments (UEs) for which a Node B is a serving Node B and non-serving uplink channels of second UEs for which the Node B is a non-serving Node B in a mobile communication system for transmitting packet data on an enhanced uplink, comprising: transmitting scheduling information to the Node B via one of the first and second UEs; receiving scheduling assignment information from the Node B via one of the first and second UEs; and transmitting packet data on the enhanced uplink to the Node B via one of the first and second UEs, wherein, if a current power ratio is greater than a target power ratio of a power level of the non-serving uplink channels and a total power level on the enhanced uplink, and if a current total power level is greater than a target total power level, the scheduling assignment information comprises a down command for the non-serving uplink channels.
