Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving transmissions with a UE in a cell PCH state
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving via a high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) is disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receives the HS-DSCH while operating in a cell forward access channel (Cell-FACH) state, a cell paging channel (Cell-PCH) state, or URA paging channel (URA-PCH) state.
1. A user equipment (UE) for receiving high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) transmissions, the UE comprising:
circuitry configured to receive, by the UE in a Cell_PCH state, a broadcast control channel (BCCH) transmission from a network using a specific HS-DSCH radio network temporary identifier (H-RNTI); and
circuitry configured to process, by the UE in the Cell_PCH state, a dedicated channel transmission from the network using a dedicated H-RNTI.
2. The UE of claim 1 wherein the specific H-RNTI is a cell specific H-RNTI or a cell RNTI (C-RNTI).
3. The UE of claim 1 further comprising circuitry configured to provide a medium access control (MAC) entity, wherein the MAC entity identifies the dedicated channel with the dedicated H-RNTI or the BCCH with the specific H-RNTI.
4. The UE of claim 1 further comprising circuitry configured to provide a medium access control (MAC) entity, wherein the MAC entity identifies a logical channel using either the dedicated or specific H-RNTI.
5. The UE of claim 1 further comprising circuitry configured to provide a medium access control (MAC) entity, wherein the MAC entity identifies a logical channel using logical channel information included in a MAC PDU header.
6. The UE of claim 1 further comprising circuitry configured to provide a medium access control (MAC) entity that identifies at least one of a logical channel type and identity using a queue identity (ID) field in a MAC PDU header.
7. The UE of claim 1 further comprising circuitry configured to process a medium access control (MAC) PDU, wherein the MAC PDU includes multiple pairs of queue identity (ID) and transmission sequence numbers (TSNs).
8. The UE of claim 1 further comprising circuitry configured to process a medium access control (MAC) PDU, wherein the MAC PDU includes multiple pairs of logical channel identity and transmission sequence numbers (TSNs).
9. A method for receiving high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) transmissions by user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE in a Cell_PCH state, a broadcast control channel (BCCH) transmission from a network using a specific HS-DSCH radio network temporary identifier (H-RNTI); and
processing, by the UE in the Cell_PCH state, a dedicated channel transmission from the network using a dedicated H-RNTI.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the specific H-RNTI is a cell specific H-RNTI or a cell RNTI (C-RNTI).
11. The method of claim 9 wherein a logical channel type and identity are detected using the dedicated H-RNTI or the specific H-RNTI.
12. The method of claim 9 wherein a logical channel type and identity is detected using information included in a MAC-hs PDU header.
13. The method of claim 9 further comprising providing, by the UE, a medium access control (MAC) entity, wherein the MAC entity identifies the dedicated channel with the dedicated H-RNTI or the BCCH with the specific H-RNTI.
14. A wireless network for sending high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) transmissions, the wireless network comprising:
circuitry configured to send, to user equipment (UE) in a Cell_PCH state, a broadcast control channel (BCCH) transmission using a specific HS-DSCH radio network temporary identifier (H-RNTI); and
circuitry configured to provide, to the UE in the Cell_PCH state, a dedicated channel transmission using a dedicated H-RNTI.
15. The wireless network of claim 14 wherein the specific H-RNTI is a cell specific H-RNTI or a cell RNTI (C-RNTI).
16. The wireless network of claim 14 further comprising circuitry configured to provide a medium access control (MAC) entity, wherein the MAC entity provides the dedicated channel with the dedicated H-RNTI or the BCCH with the specific H-RNTI.
17. The wireless network of claim 14 further comprising circuitry configured to provide a medium access control (MAC) entity, wherein the MAC entity provides a logical channel using either the dedicated or specific H-RNTI.
18. The wireless network of claim 14 further comprising circuitry configured to provide a medium access control (MAC) entity, wherein the MAC entity provides a logical channel using logical channel information included in a MAC PDU header.
