Method and system for preventing high speed downlink packet access transmissions loss


Abstract
The present invention is related to a method and system for preventing high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) transmission loss due to transmission gap in compressed mode in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). In accordance with one embodiment, a Node-B receives a compressed mode transmission gap schedule of a WTRU, identifies HSDPA transmission time intervals (TTIs) that are affected by the WTRU compressed mode transmission gap schedule and schedules the HSDPA transmissions not to overlap the WTRU compressed mode transmission gap schedule. In accordance with another embodiment, the Node-B may inform the HSDPA transmission schedule to a radio network controller (RNC) and the RNC coordinates the HSDPA transmission schedule and a compressed mode transmission gap schedule of the WTRU.

This Patent was granted in almost record time....

These days, with the backlog at the USPTO, it is common for patent applications to take 2-4 years, and some much longer. There is a backlog of 1.2 Million applications at the USPTO, and I am amazed that IDCC got this patent granted in less than 13 months.

Method and system for transferring wireless transmit/receive unit-specific information


Abstract
The present invention is related to a method and system for transferring wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)-specific information to support enhanced uplink (EU) operation in a wireless communication system. A radio network controller (RNC) obtains WTRU-specific information, and transfers the WTRU-specific information to the Node-Bs. Each Node-B is configured to schedule uplink transmissions from a WTRU and utilizes the WTRU-specific information in operation of EU transmissions.
