Handling cell reselections and state transitions for high-speed downlink packet access
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.
1. A method implemented by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving, by the WTRU, broadcast information;
checking, using the broadcast information, that a cell serving the WTRU supports high speed reception in a paging state on condition that the WTRU has transitioned to the paging state;
setting a high speed reception variable associated with at least the paging state to a first value on condition that the WTRU or the cell serving the WTRU does not support the high speed reception;
setting the high speed reception variable associated with at least the paging state to a second value on condition that the WTRU and the cell serving the WTRU support the high speed reception; and
releasing high speed resources on condition that the high speed reception variable is set to the first value.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the WTRU has transitioned to any of: a Cell_PCH state or a URA_PCH state, as the paging state.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the checking that the paging state supports the high speed reception includes decoding an Information Element (IE) in the broadcast information of a broadcast from the cell to determine a high speed reception status.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the decoding of the IE in the broadcast information includes decoding a High Speed-Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) paging system information IE.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the releasing of the high speed resources is further conditioned on the high speed resources being previously set.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a communication over a High Speed-Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) on condition that the cell serving the WTRU supports the high speed reception;
receiving the communication over a non-high speed channel on condition that the cell serving the WTRU does not support the high speed reception; and
decoding the received communication.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
on condition that the WTRU is in or transitions into a non-paging state, setting any of: a HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_OF_CCCH_ENABLED variable or a HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE variable, the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_OF_CCCH_ENABLED variable and the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE variable being different variables than the high speed reception variable.
8. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) configured to manage a transition to a paging state, comprising:
a transmit/receive unit configured to receive broadcast information;
a processor configured to:
check, using the broadcast information, that a cell serving the WTRU supports high speed reception in the paging state on condition that the WTRU has transitioned to the paging state;
set a high speed reception variable associated with at least the paging state to a first value on condition that the WTRU or the cell serving the WTRU does not support the high speed reception;
setting the high speed reception variable associated with at least the paging state to a second value on condition that the WTRU and the cell serving the WTRU support the high speed reception; and
release high speed resources on condition that the high speed reception variable is set to the first value.
9. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the WTRU has transitioned to any of: a Cell_PCH state or a URA_PCH state, as the paging state.
10. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to decode an Information Element (IE) in the broadcast information of a broadcast from the cell to determine a high speed reception status.
11. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to decode a High Speed-Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) paging system information IE.
12. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to release the high speed resources further conditioned on the high speed resources being previously set.
13. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein:
the transmit/receive unit is configured to:
receive a communication over a High Speed-Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) on condition that the cell serving the WTRU supports the high speed reception, and
receive the communication over a non-high speed channel on condition that the cell serving the WTRU does not support the high speed reception; and
the processor is configured to decode the received communication.
14. The WTRU of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
set any of: a HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_OF_CCCH_ENABLED variable or a HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE variable, on condition that the WTRU is in or transitions into a non-paging state, the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_OF_CCCH_ENABLED variable and the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_Cell_FACH_STATE variable being different variables than the high speed reception variable.
