Patent ID: 8325655

Claim:
A method for establishing a multi-carrier High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) channel, comprising: A. determining number of HSDPA channel resources of a cell; B. selecting N carriers in the cell according to the number of channel resources determined in step A, wherein the N carriers form HSDPA channel resources of the cell; C. allocating the HSDPA channel resources of the cell to be High Speed Downlink Shared Channels (HS-DSCHs), and uplink and downlink control channels; and D. allocating, by a network for a user terminal, an HS-DSCH to be used by the user terminal, one or more High Speed Shared Control Channels (HS-SCCHs) and one or more corresponding High Speed Shared Information Channels (HS-SICHs) thereof to be monitored by the user terminal, when the user terminal initiates an HSDPA request and the request is allowed, wherein HS-DSCH is allocated over more than one of the N carriers, wherein the HS-SCCHs and the HS-SICHs are allocated over one of the N carriers.
