Communication mode controlling method, mobile communication system, radio network controller, base station, and mobile communication terminal
View Patent ↗A communication mode which should be set to a mobile communication terminal having a function of switching between an autonomous mode and a scheduling mode is determined based on an amount of interference in each of the communication modes in the cell of a base station, and/or communication characteristics of each of the communication modes, and a signal indicating an amount of communication data notified from the mobile communication terminal. The base station then notifies the determined communication mode to the mobile communication terminal.
1. A method for a user equipment, the method comprising:
transmitting a buffer status indicative of an amount of data available for transmission; and
receiving, from a base station, an indication of uplink radio resources reflective of network scheduling, wherein said received indication is at least partially based upon an indication of a maximum received power received at the base station from a radio network controller and said transmitted buffer status.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting at least a portion of said data available for transmission in accordance with the received indication of uplink radio resources.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indicated maximum received power is at least partially based upon an indicated amount of received signal power.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving an ACK/NACK signal in response to the transmitted data.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the buffer status is transmitted using wideband-code division multiple access (W-CDMA).
6. A method for a user equipment, the method comprising:
transmitting a buffer status indicative of an amount of data available for transmission; and
transmitting at least a portion of said data available for transmission in accordance with scheduling at least partially based upon an indication of a maximum received power received at a base station from a radio network controller and said transmitted buffer status.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising receiving an indication of uplink radio resources.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the indicated maximum received power is at least partially based upon an indicated amount of received signal power.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the indicated maximum received power corresponds to a power that should not be exceeded as a result of scheduling.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the buffer status is transmitted using wideband-code division multiple access (W-CDMA).
11. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
receiving an ACK/NACK signal in response to the transmitted data.
12. A user equipment configured to:
transmit a buffer status indicative of an amount of data available for transmission; and
receive, from a base station, an indication of uplink radio resources reflective of network scheduling, wherein said scheduling is at least partially based upon an indication of a maximum received power received at the base station from a radio network controller and said transmitted buffer status.
13. The user equipment of claim 12 , further configured to transmit at least a portion of said data available for transmission in accordance with the received indication of uplink radio resources.
14. The user equipment of claim 12 , wherein the indicated maximum received power is at least partially based upon an indicated amount of received signal power at the user equipment.
15. The user equipment of claim 13 , further configured to receive an ACK/NACK signal in response to the transmitted data.
16. The user equipment of claim 13 , wherein the buffer status is transmitted using wideband-code division multiple access (W-CDMA).
17. A user equipment configured to:
transmit a buffer status indicative of an amount of data available for transmission; and
transmit at least a portion of said data available for transmission in accordance with scheduling at least partially based upon an indication of a maximum received power received at a base station from a radio network controller and said transmitted buffer status.
18. The user equipment of claim 17 , further configured to receive an indication of uplink radio resources.
19. The user equipment of claim 17 , wherein the indicated maximum received power is at least partially based upon an indicated amount of received signal power.
20. The user equipment of claim 17 , wherein the indicated maximum received power corresponds to a power that should not be exceeded as a result of scheduling.
21. The user equipment of claim 17 , wherein the buffer status is transmitted using wideband-code division multiple access (W-CDMA).
22. The user equipment of claim 17 , further configured to receive an ACK/NACK signal in response to the transmitted data.
