METHOD FOR CHANNEL SELECTION FOR RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL SIGNALING IN HSDPA

摘要

A Radio Network Controller (RNC) is configured to send Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages to a mobile station using a selected downlink channel. Depending on the mobility rate of the mobile station, the RNC is configured to configure a signaling connection to use either a first downlink channel or a second downlink channel for transmitting the RRC messages. According to one embodiment, the RNC selects a dedicated channel when the mobile station has a high mobility rate, and selects a shared channel when the mobile station has a low mobility rate.
