Abstract

A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) is configured to operate in an high speed data packet access (HSDPA) mode in a cell and/or state and to clear HSDPA resources when moving out of the cell and/or state. The WTRU is configured to clear HSDPA resources when conditions to perform high speed downlink shared channel reception are not met.

Claims (35)

1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) during cell reselection, the method comprising:

determining, from a first high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) reception variable, HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE, indicating a status of HS-DSCH reception in a Cell_FACH state, whether the HS-DSCH reception in the Cell_FACH state is ongoing;

setting a second (HS-DSCH) reception variable, HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_GENERAL, indicating a status of HS-DSCH reception for any of states Cell_FACH, Cell_PCH, URA_PCH and Cell_DCH, to TRUE on condition that the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE variable indicates that the HS-DSCH reception in the Cell_FACH state is ongoing;

setting the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_GENERAL variable to TRUE on condition that HS-DSCH reception in the Cell_PCH state, the URA_PCH state or the Cell_DCH state is ongoing;

setting the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_GENERAL variable to FALSE on condition that a new cell following a cell reselection does not support HS-DSCH reception; and

releasing HS_DSCH resources on condition that the new cell does not support HS-DSCH reception.

2. The method as in claim 1 , wherein releasing HS_DSCH resources comprises:

stopping high speed synchronization control channel (HS-SCCH) reception;

stopping the HS-DSCH reception;

clearing radio network temporary identifiers (RNTIs);

resetting a medium access control (MAC) entity;

releasing hybrid automated response request (HARQ) resources; and

clearing any stored information elements related to HARQ information.

3. The method as in claim 1 , further comprising reading a medium access control (MAC) state indicator to determine HS-DSCH reception.

4. The method as in claim 1 , further comprising reading an information element (IE) to determine HS-DSCH reception status in at least one of the following: system information block (SIB) 5/5bis or SIB 6/6bis.

5. The method as in claim 4 , wherein the IE is HS-DSCH common system information.

6. The method as in claim 4 , wherein the IE is HS-DSCH paging system information.

7. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) for cell reselection, comprising:

a processor configured to:

determine, from a first high speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) reception variable, HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE, indicating a status of HS-DSCH reception in a Cell_FACH state, whether the HS-DSCH reception in the Cell_FACH state is ongoing;

set a second (HS-DSCH) reception variable, HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_GENERAL, indicating a status of HS-DSCH reception for any of states Cell_FACH, Cell_PCH, URA_PCH and Cell_DCH, to TRUE on condition that the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE variable indicates that the HS-DSCH reception in the Cell_FACH state is ongoing;

set the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_GENERAL variable to TRUE on condition that HS-DSCH reception in the Cell_PCH state, the URA_PCH state or the Cell_DCH state is ongoing;

set the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_GENERAL variable to FALSE on condition that a new cell following a cell reselection does not support HS-DSCH reception; and

release HS_DSCH resources on condition that the new cell does not support HS-DSCH reception.

8. The WTRU as in claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

stop high speed synchronization control channel (HS-SCCH) reception;

stop the HS-DSCH reception;

clear radio network temporary identifiers (RNTIs);

reset a medium access control (MAC) entity;

release hybrid automated response request (HARQ) resources; and

clear any stored information elements related to HARQ information.

9. The WTRU as in claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to read a medium access control (MAC) state indicator to determine HS-DSCH reception.

10. The WTRU as in claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to read an information element (IE) to determine HS-DSCH reception status in at least one of the following: system information block (SIB) 5/5bis or SIB 6/6bis.

11. The WTRU as in claim 10 , wherein the IE is HS-DSCH common system information.

12. The WTRU as in claim 10 , wherein the IE is HS-DSCH paging system information.
