METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROL OF COMMON CONTROL CHANNEL TRANSMISSION OVER COMMON ENHANCED DEDICATED CHANNEL RESOURCES IN CELL_FACH STATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus that enable the control of wireless communication signals over an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) resource while operating in a CELL_FACH state with an allocated E-DCH radio network temporary identifier (E-RNTI).SOLUTION: A determination is made that a periodic cell update timer is expired. In response to the periodic cell update timer expiring, a determination is made whether a WTRU has an allocated E-DCH resource. If the WTRU has an allocated E-DCH resource, the periodic cell update timer is re-started without performing a periodic cell update.
