METHOD FOR CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS IN WIRELESS SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention provides a radio network controller (RNC) comprising a high-speed downlink packet access allocation (HSDPA) controller configured to allocate at least one high-speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) monitored by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in a single timeslot. The present invention provides also a WTRU comprising a receiver configured to receive at least one HS-SCCH in a single timeslot and a method for maximizing the battery efficiency of the WTRU. The method comprises receiving at least one HS-SCCH in a single timeslot, monitoring the single timeslot for the at least one HS-SCCH, and turning off power to radio frequency, RF, components of the WTRU during timeslots not being monitored for HS-SCCHs or other communication channels.
