SIGNALING CELL COMBINING CAPABILITIES

摘要

The specification and drawings present a new method, system, apparatus and software product for providing combining capability information of a Node B (supporting a cell to which a user equipment is set-up) to radio network controllers as related to HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access). The Node B can support among others, e.g., incremental redundancy (IR) combining and/or Chase combining. Furthermore, the combining capability information of the node B can be, e.g., for combining data received on an uplink enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH).
