APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING AND HANDLING SPURIOUS DEDICATED PHYSICAL CONTROL CHANNEL IN SOFT HANDOVER

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and methods for detecting and handling a spurious Dedicated Physical Channel (DPCH) of a cell in an active set from a mobile station side. A user equipment determines a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) for each channel of a plurality of channels associated with cells maintained in an active set. A spurious DPCH has the lowest SIR among the plurality of channels. The user equipment puts the detected spurious DPCH in an exclusion mode in which the spurious DPCH is excluded from at least one of channel decoding or SIRE calculation, while maintaining the cell associated with the spurious DPCH in the active set.

1. A method of wireless communication operable at a user equipment, comprising:
determining a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) for each channel of a plurality of channels associated with a plurality of cells maintained in an active set; detecting a first channel of the plurality of channels, wherein the SIR of the first channel is a lowest SIR among the plurality of channels; and putting the detected first channel in an exclusion mode in which the first channel is excluded from at least one of channel decoding or SIR calculation of the plurality of channels, while maintaining the cell associated with the first channel in the active set.
