Abstract

In a wireless communication system comprising at least one evolved Node-B (eNB) and a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), a non-contention based (NCB) channel is established, maintained, and utilized. The NCB channel is allocated for use by one or more WTRUs in the system for utilization in a variety of functions, and the allocation is communicated to the WTRUs. The wireless communication system analyzes the allocation of the NCB channel as required, and the NCB channel is reallocated as required.

Claims (32)

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

receiving first configuration information, the first configuration information indicating a first allocation for non-contention based (NCB) uplink control channel transmissions in a first cell, the first allocation indicating a first periodicity and first resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the first cell;

transmitting first control information via the first cell in accordance with the first allocation;

receiving a shared channel transmission via the first cell, the shared channel transmission comprising an indication to handover from the first cell to a second cell, the shared channel transmission indicating a second allocation for NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell, the second allocation indicating a second periodicity and second resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell; and

transmitting second control information via the second cell in accordance with the second allocation comprised in the shared channel transmission received via the first cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell corresponds to an allocation for sending scheduling requests in the second cell after the handover.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

monitoring a downlink control channel after transmitting a scheduling request via the second cell in accordance with the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell;

detecting a control channel transmission for the WTRU on the downlink control channel based on a WTRU ID, the control channel transmission comprising an uplink shared channel allocation for the WTRU;

transmitting user data in accordance with the uplink shared channel allocation received via the downlink control channel transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell corresponds to an allocation for sending channel quality measurements in the second cell after the handover.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second control information transmitted via the second cell in accordance with the second allocation comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shared channel transmission received via the first cell comprises an indication of a frequency hopping pattern associated with the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell comprises one or more sub-carrier resources indicated in the shared channel transmission received via the first cell.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the shared channel transmission received via the first cell indicates code information associated with the second resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell correspond to a sub-channel of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) or single carrier frequency divisional multiple access (SC-FDMA) communication system.

10. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising a processor and memory, the processor and memory configured to:

receive first configuration information, the first configuration information indicating a first allocation for non-contention based (NCB) uplink control channel transmissions in a first cell, the first allocation indicating a first periodicity and first resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the first cell;

transmit first control information via the first cell in accordance with the first allocation;

receive a shared channel transmission via the first cell, the shared channel transmission comprising an indication to handover from the first cell to a second cell, the shared channel transmission indicating a second allocation for NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell, the second allocation indicating a second periodicity and second resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell; and

transmit second control information via the second cell in accordance with the second allocation comprised in the shared channel transmission received via the first cell.

11. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell corresponds to an allocation for sending scheduling requests in the second cell after the handover.

12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the processor and memory are configured to:

monitor a downlink control channel after transmitting a scheduling request via the second cell in accordance with the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell;

detect a control channel transmission for the WTRU on the downlink control channel based on a WTRU ID, the control channel transmission comprising an uplink shared channel allocation for the WTRU;

transmit user data in accordance with the uplink shared channel allocation received via the downlink control channel transmission.

13. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell corresponds to an allocation for sending channel quality measurements in the second cell after the handover.

14. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the second control information transmitted via the second cell in accordance with the second allocation comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback.

15. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the shared channel transmission received via the first cell comprises an indication of a frequency hopping pattern associated with the second allocation for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell.

16. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the second resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell comprises one or more sub-carrier resources indicated in the shared channel transmission received via the first cell.

17. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the shared channel transmission received via the first cell indicates code information associated with the second resources allocated to the WTRU for the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell.

18. The WTRU of claim 10 , wherein the NCB uplink control channel transmissions in the second cell correspond to a sub-channel of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) or single carrier frequency divisional multiple access (SC-FDMA) communication system.
