Patent ID: 8730887

Claim:
A method for transmitting information, comprising: receiving, by a base station, a protocol layer data packet including data and a user equipment (UE) identity (ID) of a UE which are sent by the UE through an Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH), wherein the E-DCH is shared among a plurality of UEs including the UE and seized by the UE via competition; determining, by the base station, which UE the protocol layer data packet belongs to according to the UE ID included in the protocol layer data packet; converting, by the base station, the received protocol layer data packet into a Frame Protocol (FP) frame with the UE ID of the UE; and sending, by the base station, the FP frame with the UE ID of the UE to a radio network control device through the E-DCH to inform the radio network which UE the FP frame belongs to; wherein the method further comprises: receiving, by the base station, a request for setting up or reconfiguring the E-DCH, sent by the radio network control device; setting up or reconfiguring, depending on the request received, by the base station, the E-DCH in accordance with a parameter in the received request; and sending, by the base station, a response to the radio network control device to indicate information of the E-DCH; wherein the parameter in the received request comprises at least one of: a signature list used when the UE performs a random access procedure through the E-DCH, and other parameter required when the UE performs the random access procedure through the E-DCH, wherein the other parameter comprise at least one of a relevant physical-layer parameter, a transmission channel parameter and a transmission bearer parameter.
