  • Patent number: 7904102
    Abstract: In a mobile communication system, the information on a downlink DCH actually not used is regarded as removable from the construction target of a TFI and a TFCI, so that a discrepancy of the perception regarding the TFI and the TFCI is not occurred between a base station and a UE (User Equipment). An indicator information in terms of an “Unidirectional DCH Indicator” is generated in an Indicator processing portion of a RNC so that the base station can remove the information regarding the downlink DCH actually not used from the construction target of the TFI and the TFCI, and the information, which is included in the NBAP message, is transmitted to the base station from the NBAP message composition portion. When, at the NBAP message analyzing portion of the base station, it is determined that the “Unidirectional DCH Indicator” is included in this message, the information regarding the downlink DCH actually not used in a TFCI construction portion is removed from the construction target of the TFI and the TFCI.
