Abstract

A method and a related apparatus establish a standalone high speed dedicated physical control channel (Standalone HS-DPCCH) between a base station and a user terminal in a wireless communication system based the capabilities of the user terminal. The base station receives from a radio network controller of the wireless communication system downlink data which includes indication information indicating that the user terminal is capable of establishing a Standalone HS-DPCCH. After receiving the indication data, the base station sends trigger information to the user terminal to trigger the user terminal to establish a Standalone HS-DPCCH between the user terminal and the base station.

Claims (24)

1. A method for establishing a standalone high speed dedicated physical control channel (Standalone HS-DPCCH) between a user terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving, by the base station, indication information sent by a radio network controller in the wireless communication system, wherein the indication information indicates whether the user terminal supports a Standalone HS-DPCCH; and

sending, by the base station when the indication information indicates that the user terminal supports a Standalone HS-DPCCH, trigger information to the user terminal to trigger the user terminal to establish the Standalone HS-DPCCH between the user terminal and the base station;

acquiring, by the base station, use information of a signature corresponding to the standalone HS-DPCCH, and reporting the use information of the signature to the radio network controller, wherein the reported use information comprises a report value that is equal to the number of user terminals that successfully establish the standalone HS-DPCCH divided by the number of user terminals that are required to establish the standalone HS-DPCCH; and

adjusting, by the radio network controller, a number of reserved random access signatures corresponding to the standalone HS-DPCCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before receiving indication information sent by the radio network controller, the method further comprises:

reporting, by the base station to the radio network controller through an audit procedure or a resource status indication procedure, information indicating that the base station or a certain cell under the base station supports the standalone HS-DPCCH.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the base station, configuration information of a timer for resource release and sent by the radio network controller.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein receiving the indication information comprises:

receiving the indication information from the radio network controller through a frame protocol (FP) frame of downlink data for the user terminal.

5. A base station in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory processor-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon;

the processor being configured to execute the processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:

receiving indication information sent by a radio network controller in the wireless communication system, wherein the indication information indicates whether a user terminal supports a standalone high speed dedicated physical control channel (Standalone HS-DPCCH),

sending, when the indication information indicates that the user terminal supports a Standalone HS-DPCCH, trigger information to the user terminal to trigger the user terminal to establish the Standalone HS-DPCCH between the base station and the user terminal and

acquiring use information of a signature corresponding to the standalone HS-DPCCH, and reporting the use information of the signature to the radio network controller, wherein the reported use information comprises a report value that is equal to the number of user terminals that successfully establish the standalone HS-DPCCH divided by the number of user terminals that are required to establish the standalone HS-DPCCH.

6. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the operations performed by the processor further comprise:

acquiring use information of a signature corresponding to the standalone HS-DPCCH, and reporting the use information of the signature to the radio network controller.

7. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the operations performed by the processor further comprise:

receiving configuration information of a timer for resource release and sent by the radio network controller.

8. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein receiving the indication information comprises:

receiving the indication information from the radio network controller through a frame protocol (FP) frame of downlink data for the user terminal.
