TTI switching

摘要

A radio network controller, RNC, keeps control of how many users to configure on a first transmission time interval, TTI, and how many to configure on a second TTI. For example, a method is performed by the RNC, for configuring at least one radio bearer between a radio base station, RBS, and wireless communication devices. The method comprises sending, from the RNC to the RBS, radio bearer configuration information for controlling a distribution between a first number of wireless communication devices and a second number of wireless communication devices where the first number of wireless communication devices are operating a radio bearer using a first TTI, and the second number of wireless communication devices are operating a radio bearer using a second TTI.

主权项

1. A method performed by a radio base station operating in a wireless communication network, comprising:
receiving a transmission time interval (TTI) switch trigger from a wireless communication device that is connected to the radio base station, the switch trigger requesting that the wireless communication device be switched from a first TTI configuration to a second TTI configuration, the first TTI configuration defined by TTIs of a first length, and the second TTI configuration defined by TTIs of a second length, different than the first length; and in response to the TTI switch trigger, controlling whether the wireless communication device is switched to the second TTI configuration, based on a radio bearer configuration indicating maximum numbers of wireless communication devices that can be configured with the first and second TTI configurations, respectively.
