METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING INFORMATION RELATING TO SCHEDULING OF UPLINK DATA TRANSMISSIONS, MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, BASE STATION, WIRELESS NETWORK CONTROLLER, AND MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for communicating information relating to the scheduling of uplink data transmissions for a mobile terminal transmitting data on the uplink to a plurality of base stations during soft handover of the mobile terminal in a mobile communication system. SOLUTION: At least one base station of a plurality of base stations schedules uplink data transmissions of the mobile terminal in soft handover. The different embodiments of the invention provide a communication system, a radio resource controller, a base station and a mobile terminal which may perform different tasks of the method disclosed. To provide a method reducing the impact of uplink transmissions during soft handover on the interference rise over thermal, it is suggested to provide all base stations communicating with the mobile terminal during soft handover with information on the maximum amount of resources allocated to the mobile terminal, thereby allowing the base stations to schedule other terminals taking into account this information.
