Abstract

A base station and a method for use by the base station are disclosed. The method includes transmitting, over an interface, to a controlling node a request for wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) information, and receiving, over the interface, the WTRU information including WTRU capabilities information in response to the request, wherein the WTRU capabilities information indicates time intervals associated with numerations for shared channel allocation usage by the WTRU. A control node is also disclosed where the control note includes a processor and interface for receiving, over the interface, from a base station a request for WTRU information, and transmitting, over the interface, the WTRU information including WTRU capabilities information in response to the request, wherein the WTRU capabilities information indicates time intervals associated with numerations for shared channel allocation usage by the WTRU.

Claims (32)

1. A base station comprising:

a processor; and

an interface,

wherein the processor and the interface are configured to:

transmit, over the interface to a controlling node, a request for wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) information for a WTRU; and

receive, over the interface, the WTRU information including WTRU capabilities information in response to the request, wherein the WTRU capabilities information indicates time intervals associated with numerations for shared channel allocation usage by the WTRU.

2. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information includes simultaneous reception capability information.

3. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information includes physical layer capability information and buffer size information.

4. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information includes power class information and modulation capability information.

5. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) capabilities information and quality of service (QoS) capabilities information.

6. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information includes layer 2 capabilities information and number of supported channels capability information.

7. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the processor uses the WTRU information to schedule the WTRU.

8. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, over an interface, to a controlling node a request for wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) information for a WTRU; and

receiving, over the interface, the WTRU information including WTRU capabilities information in response to the request, wherein the WTRU capabilities information indicates time intervals associated with numerations for shared channel allocation usage by the WTRU.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the WTRU information includes simultaneous reception capability information.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the WTRU information includes physical layer capability information and buffer size information.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the WTRU information includes power class information and modulation capability information.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the WTRU information includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) capabilities information and quality of service (QoS) capabilities information.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the WTRU information includes layer 2 capabilities information and number of supported channels capability information.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the WTRU information is used to schedule the WTRU.

15. A control node comprising:

a processor; and

an interface,

wherein the processor and the interface are configured to:

receive, over the interface from a base station, a request for wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) information for a WTRU; and

transmit, over the interface, the WTRU information including WTRU capabilities information in response to the request, wherein the WTRU capabilities information indicates time intervals associated with numerations for shared channel allocation usage by the WTRU.

16. The control node of claim 15 , wherein the WTRU information includes simultaneous reception capability information.

17. The control node of claim 15 , wherein the WTRU information includes physical layer capability information and buffer size information.

18. The control node of claim 15 , wherein the WTRU information includes power class information and modulation capability information.

19. The control node of claim 15 , wherein the WTRU information includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) capabilities information and quality of service (QoS) capabilities information.

20. The control node of claim 15 , wherein the WTRU information includes layer 2 capabilities information and number of supported channels capability information.
