Abstract: A system and a method for enabling a node B to control a transmission time interval (TTI) in consideration of radio resources of a cell, a channel environment of a UE, and a buffer state of the UE, in an asynchronous wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) mobile communication system that supports a packet data service through an enhanced uplink dedicated transport channel.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of using an E-DCH and an uplink DCH in an asynchronous WCDMA communication system. To determine an uplink channel status for using the DCH and E-DCH, a UE determines whether it is in a soft handover (SHO) region referring to active set information received from an RNC. If it is in a non-SHO region, the UE code-multiplexes the DCH and E-DCH. If it is in an SHO region, the UE time-multiplexes the DCH and E-DCH. A Node B analyzes uplink channel status information about the UE received form the RNC. If the UE is in a non-SHO region, the Node B code-demultiplexes the DCH and E-DCH received from the UE. If the UE is in an SHO region, the Node B time-multiplexes the DCH and E-DCH. For the multiplexing of the DCH and E-DCH, common TFS-related information is configured for the DCH and E-DCH.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting packet data from a user equipment (UE) in a soft handover region to Node Bs in a code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile communication system. Scheduling is performed such that although the UE using an Enhanced Uplink Dedicated transport Channel (EUDCH) service in a soft handover region receives different scheduling commands from a plurality of active Node Bs, the EUDCH service can be performed in an optimal radio environment, contributing to improvement in data reception performance.

The UE located in the second area combines the first data and the second data, thereby generating one data item.

Abstract: In an asynchronous CDMA mobile communication system supporting HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), in order to assign power to a high speed physical downlink shared channel (HS-PDSCH), a power offset is determined and then provided to a Node B and a user equipment (UE). For this, an HS-PDSCH power offset is determined by a controlling radio network controller (CRNC) and a Node B, and then transmitted to the UE or the Node B.

Abstract: A radio network controller (RNC) transmits a power offset for controlling transmission power of an uplink high-speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH) when a user equipment (UE) enters a handover region, in a mobile communication system including the RNC, a Node B connected to the RNC, and the UE located in one of at least two cell areas occupied by the Node B. The Node B transmits data to the UE over a high-speed downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) and the UE transmits information indicating reception of the data to the Node B over the uplink HS-DPCCH. The RNC informs the UE of a power offset for determining a transmission power increment of the uplink HS-DPCCH, if it is determined that the UE is located in the handover region. The RNC informs the Node B of the power offset so that the Node B can determine a threshold value for determining information indicating reception of the data, depending on the power offset.

A radio network controller (RNC), connected to the Node and the neighbor Node B, identifies a plurality of UEs including the particular UE and other UEs, all of which are located in the handover region and receive the high speed packet data, and transmits pilot signal field position information to the UEs so that pilot signal fields that must be transmitted by the particular UE and the other UEs should not overlap with one another in the CQI field.
