Method and device for confirming downlink inner loop power control mode by base station
The invention provides a method and a device for confirming a downlink inner loop power control mode by a Node B in an idle mode and in a CELL_FACH state. The method includes that: when the Node B detects that there is User Equipment (UE) using an E-DCH in the idle mode or in the CELL_FACH state, confirming to use a mode 0 to receive Transmit Power Control (TPC) bit information sent on a Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) by the UE, and performing downlink inner loop power control on a Fractional Dedicated Physical Channel (F-DPCH). The method and device provided in the invention enable the inner loop power control mode for the F-DPCH made by the Node B to be consistent with the TPC bit information mode fed back by the UE, and enable the F-DPCH to use proper transmit power to transmit.
1. A method for confirming a downlink inner loop power control mode by a Node B, and the method comprising:
when the Node B detects that there is user equipment (UE) in an idle mode or a Cell Forward Access Channel (CELL_FACH) state using an Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH), confirming to use a mode 0 to receive Transmit Power Control (TPC) bit information sent on an uplink Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) by said UE, and performing downlink inner loop power control on a Fractional Dedicated Physical Control Channel (F-DPCH);
wherein, before the step of the Node B detecting, the method further comprises:
a radio network controller notifying said Node B of common E-DCH configuration information by a physical shared channel reconfiguration request message; and
after receiving said physical shared channel reconfiguration request message, said Node B choosing to store the common E-DCH configuration information in said physical shared channel reconfiguration request message, and returning a physical shared channel reconfiguration response message to the radio network controller.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein,
said UE uses the mode 0 to send said TPC bit information to said Node B in said idle mode or said CELL_FACH state.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein,
said common E-DCH configuration information is configured in common E-DCH system information in said physical shared channel reconfiguration request message.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the step of said Node B storing the common E-DCH configuration information comprises:
said Node B choosing to store all the common E-DCH configuration information when said common E-DCH system information excludes configuration information of a downlink inner loop power control mode (DPC MODE).
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the step of said Node B storing the common E-DCH configuration information comprises:
said Node B choosing to store other common E-DCH configuration information except configuration information of a downlink inner loop power control mode (DPC MODE) when said common E-DCH system information includes configuration information of said DPC MODE.
6. A device for confirming a downlink inner loop power control mode by a Node B, which is applied to in the Node B, and the device comprising:
a downlink inner loop power control (DPC) mode confirmation module, which is configured to: when detecting that there is user equipment (UE) in an idle mode or a Cell Forward Access Channel (CELL_FACH) state using an Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH), confirm to use a mode 0 to receive Transmit Power Control (TPC) bit information sent on an uplink Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) by said UE, and perform downlink inner loop power control on a Fractional Dedicated Physical Control Channel (F-DPCH); and
a common E-DCH configuration module, which is configured to: choose to store common E-DCH configuration information in a physical shared channel reconfiguration request message after receiving the common E-DCH configuration information notified by a radio network controller through the physical shared channel reconfiguration request message, and return a physical shared channel reconfiguration response message to the radio network controller.
7. The device of claim 6 , wherein,
the common E-DCH configuration module is also configured to: if the radio network controller configures the common E-DCH configuration information by common E-DCH system information in the physical shared channel reconfiguration request message and the common E-DCH system information includes configuration information of a downlink inner loop power control mode (DPC MODE), choose to store other common E-DCH configuration information except configuration information of the DPC MODE; or else, choose to store all the common E-DCH configuration information.
8. The device of claim 6 , wherein,
said UE uses the mode 0 to send said TPC bit information to said Node B in said idle mode or said CELL_FACH state.
