Patent ID: 8027292

Claim:
A method for configuring the carrier processing resources and reporting the carrier information of a multi-carrier cell, comprising the steps of: step 1, a radio network controller configuring a carrier processing module ID for each carrier in a Node B by sending a cell setup request message to the Node B, and locally recording the ID, the Node B allocating a carrier processing module for each carrier according to the carrier processing module ID it receives, wherein the carrier processing module refers to logic processing resource of a carrier in Node B, or/and step 2; in the step 2, the radio network controller configuring a carrier processing module ID for each newly added secondary carrier in a cell reconfiguration request message sent to the Node B; and the Node B allocating a carrier processing module for the secondary carrier according to the carrier processing module ID it receives; step 3, after receiving a resource audit request message, and when sending an audit response message to the radio network controller, the Node B containing one or more resource state information elements of the carrier processing module in the audit response message, each of the resource state information elements including the ID of the carrier processing module corresponding to the resource state information element, or/and step 4; in the step 4, when sending a resource state indication message to the radio network controller, the Node B containing one or more resource state information elements in the resource state indication message, each of the resource state information elements including the ID of the carrier processing module corresponding to the resource state information element.
