<p>A radio communications system includes a radio network control node coupled to a base station for communicating with mobile stations over a radio interface via the base station. The base station includes one or more cells, each cell having plural cell resources. A resource indication message sent from the base station to the radio network control node includes a cell resource identifier and indicates a status of a particular cell resource. The cell resource identifier is associated with a cell identifier in the resource indication message to eliminate any ambiguity at the radio network control node that might be created if the cell resource identifiers are not unique outside the context of each cell. Example implementations of the present invention are described in a 'service impacting' part of a Resource Status Indication Message (RSIM) in a third generation, wideband CDMA cellular radio communications system.</p> |
