Description

201112825 VI. Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] [0001] The present invention relates to wireless communication. [Prior Art 3

[〇〇〇2] Wireless communication systems are evolving to meet the need to provide continuous and faster access to data networks. This evolution is driven by the desire that mobile users can connect to other users or information networks from any location, at any time, for business, rest, or other purposes. To meet these needs, wireless communication systems can use multiple carriers to > transmit data. A wireless communication system that transmits data using multiple carriers can be referred to as a multi-carrier system. In both cellular and non-cellular wireless systems, the use of multiple carriers is expanding. Depending on how many carriers are available, the multi-carrier system can accommodate the available bandwidth in the wireless communication system. For example, a dual carrier system can double the bandwidth of a single carrier system: = the carrier system can triple the bandwidth of a single carrier system, and so on. In addition to the flux gain, diversity and joint row gains are also expected. This processing can improve the quality of service (Q〇S) for end users. Furthermore, the use of multiple carriers can be combined with multiple input multiple rounds (ΜΙΜΟ). For example, in the context of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) system, a new feature called Dual High Speed Downlink Packet Access (DC-HSDPA) was introduced in 3GPP Specification Release 8. In this-old (10) person, the same geographical area is covered by up to two HSDPA carriers, which are in the same band and possibly adjacent. In the DC-HSDPA system, frequency diversity is used between carriers in the same band, and system performance will increase. For DC-HSDPA, the base station (also in other variants or types of communication networks) 098139963 Form Number Α0101 Page 3/69 Page 0993061267-0 201112825 can be used to point β, access point, site controller Etc.) Communicate with a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) on both downlink carriers simultaneously. Not only does this double the available bandwidth and peak data rates, but it also improves network efficiency with fast scheduling and fast channel feedback on both channels. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for using a wireless device. These methods include multi-carrier start/deactivation, multi-carrier discontinuous transmission (DTX) and discontinuous reception (_) start/deactivation and operation, and multi-carrier acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment back to the library 1 method including: Carrier start-up and deactivation (10) are used for multiple missing (four) DTX and title activation and deactivation. A method for enabling/using a multi-inclusive carrier includes: receiving an activation/deactivation message, wherein the activation/deactivation message includes start/stop command information and carrier information. At least one of the plurality of carriers is determined from the start/(four) message, and the money is operated against the start/stop message.

If more than two carriers are configured, then the WTRU may include more than one primary carrier and/or more than one secondary carrier. For example, an anchor carrier can be defined as a carrier that carries a particular set of control information for downlink/uplink transmission. Any carrier that is not assigned as an anchor carrier can be a secondary carrier. Alternatively, the network does not necessarily specify anchoring bees and may not provide priority, preference or pre-emptive status for the down or uplink carriers.

It should be noted that while certain embodiments may be disclosed herein in terms of a downlink (uplink) or DRX (DTX) scheme, it should be understood that the embodiments disclosed herein are applicable to uplink (lower chain) or DTX. (DRX) program. 098139963 Form No. A0101 Page 9 of 69 0993061267-0 201112825 It should also be noted that although the embodiments disclosed herein are described with reference to the channels associated with 3GPP Releases 4 through 7, these embodiments are equally applicable to - 3GPP version of the step (and the channels used), such as LTE Release 8 'LTE-Advanced and any other type of wireless communication system (and the channels used). Furthermore, it should be noted that the embodiments described herein can be applied in any order and combination. Implementations for dynamically enabling and disabling the supplementary carrier are disclosed in the shipment. In particular, Figures 3 and 4 show an embodiment for performing multi-carrier operation. The channels used in Figures 3 and 4 show the use of special channels, but should: refer to the 'when the right side' can be transmitted on these carriers. Referring now to Figure 3, in the illustrated wireless communication system, different carriers cover different geographic regions, WTRIJ may be in the area covered by certain HSDPA carriers configured for it 'but other HSDPAs for which the region is not configured Covered by the carrier. For example, in FIG. 3, Node B 300 and WTRU 305 may have communication coverage via downlink carrier 1 310 and uplink carrier 1 315 instead of downlink carrier 2 320 and uplink carrier 2 325. It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed herein can be applied to any multi-carrier system regardless of how many radios are included in the receiver/transmitter or transceiver. An embodiment is disclosed herein in which the UTRAN can be configured to use the HS-SCCH order to control the initiation and deactivation of the supplementary carrier. Referring to FIG. 4, the HS-SCCH order may be (3) 420 transmitted by the downlink carrier 1 410 from the node β 440 to the WTRU 405. In a first example, the HS-SCCH order controls the initiation and deactivation of the supplementary carrier one by one. The HS-SCCH order can be configured to carry an indication of which carrier should be activated and deactivated in accordance with the command. In an alternative example, HS_ 098139963 Form No. A0101 Page 10 of 69 uyy〇u 201112825 SCCH command can be reserved for starting and deactivating all auxiliary carriers simultaneously

The signaling of the HS-SCCH command can be performed using the command type bits labeled X odt, Γ X〇dt, 2, X〇dt, 3, and the command bit labeled XQFd> p Xord, 2, in In one embodiment, the command type indicates a start/deactivate command, and the command bit indicates the carrier to which the command is applied. For example, if the Ο ❹ command type x〇dt,2, X〇dt, is used by x...' x〇rd,2, χ = '010', then the start command of the auxiliary carrier index indicated by the command Ofd, 3 .

If the command bit x〇rd 3=1, the auxiliary carrier 3 is activated, and if the command bit x〇rd 3 = 0, the supplementary carrier 3 is deactivated. This implementation uses a single command type and can start and deactivate up to three additional carriers simultaneously. 098139963 In another embodiment, the UTRAN transmits an explicit signal for simultaneously activating or deactivating a group of carriers. For example, any one of the following methods or a combination thereof may be used for forming; ten groups of carriers are in a grouping method, and the group may be all auxiliary carriers in a specified frequency band (for winding, downlink, or simultaneous use) The composition of the two, wherein the association between the frequency band and the explicit message can be pre-configured or implied based on the frequency band in which the explicit message is transmitted. In another grouping method, a group can consist of all auxiliary carriers (up, down, or both). In another grouping method, the group may consist of all downlink assisted carriers associated with the specified downlink anchor carrier (whether or not in the same frequency band). In another grouping method, a group can consist of all the carriers (uplink, downlink, or both) in a particular band (ie, the reception of a particular band is deactivated or initiated). Furthermore, in another grouping method, a group may consist of a downlink, an uplink, or all non-anchor carriers in the two. In another grouping method, the 'group can be composed of all carriers that are part of the carrier group', where the carrier group is a predetermined train of downlinks and/or upper keys, and the lower and/or upper key carriers within the group The list may be pre-configured either by radio f source (quad) H (RRG) signaling when establishing/reconfiguring the radio bearer or pre-configured on the WTRU. In another grouping method, the group can be form number A0101 page 12/69 page 201112825 ❹ consists of all carriers that are part of the carrier group, which can be defined as the same radio network temporary assigned to the WTRU All carriers of the identification code (RNTI), such as a high speed downlink shared channel (off-DSCH) - RNTI (h-RNTI), but it is not limited thereto. The example grouping methods disclosed herein are applicable to all of the embodiments described herein. The implementation of explicit signaling will be outlined and explained in more detail below. In one embodiment, an explicit signal for simultaneously enabling a set of carriers for the y-tower may include a new High Speed Shared Control Channel (HS-SCCH) command 'This command is used to activate and deactivate the secondary service HS_DSCH cell Existing commands differ from "in another embodiment, the explicit signal may be an existing command for starting and deactivating the secondary service HS__j) SCH cell, where, for example, when configuring the WTRU for performing multi-carrier operation The command will be reinterpreted, thereby not only indicating the initiation and deactivation of the secondary service D_DSCH cell' but also indicating the initiation and deactivation of a set of carriers (eg, all supplementary services HS-DSCH cell carriers). The example command can be applied to that (!!!! :ί ❹ some carriers that are considered "auxiliary" in their respective bands? For example, the start/deactivate command cannot be applied to those that are used as anchor carriers in the specified band. Downlink (DL) carrier f. Λ In another embodiment, the 'explicit signal may be an L2 or L3 explicit message for simultaneously enabling or disabling a group of carriers. For the explicit implementation disclosed herein The 'explicit message can be applied to the carrier in the band in which the message is transmitted. For the explicit implementation disclosed herein, the 'explicit message can be applied to the supplementary carrier associated with the same anchor carrier. As will be described below Each carrier is based on a single or each paired carrier (the carrier can be pre-defined, pre-designated or pre-configured 098139963 Form Number Α0101 Page 13 / Total 69 Page 0993061267-0 201112825 ^In the "Embedient" The existing connection (four) indicating the start/deactivation of the secondary carrier is reused in combination with various command mapping methods to provide a start/deactivate command and a target dt indicating the start/deactivate command. l' X〇dt,2,\dt,3: ord.T x〇rd>2,X〇rd3 x ,- ~>_,〇'001,, three bits (xxx) are used for the first Secondary carrier

Target age (or target paired carrier). For DC-HSPA, the existing command type X 〇 rd, 2, ord, 3 y is used for the start and stop of the primary carrier ¥ UL and DL. In the present embodiment, various command mapping methods are used together with the reuse of the existing command type (χ. - 'ηηι, from the processing of 忐愧0it'v 〇dt, 2, X〇(U, 3) so as to exist separately MC-HSPA of multiple secondary carriers activates/deactivates the target secondary carrier. In the first method, 'configure single-UL carrier. In the case of a single-UL carrier, MC~ with up to four DL carriers The HSDPA system can use the three-bit command to support the start/stop of the secondary carrier. Here, the - carry command bit 7L can be used to indicate the start or disable of each secondary carrier (command bit 70). 1' and "〇, respectively, can indicate start and disable or use and start.) The remaining command bits can indicate the index of the target secondary DL carrier to which the command applies, thus, for three secondary children For carrier, a single start/deactivation requires only three command bits. This method can be applied to mc-HSDPA systems with up to K DL carriers. For (K-1) secondary DL carriers, Its separate start/deactivation may require N command bits, where N is an integer , satisfies N [1 + log ( L· K-1)]. The mapping between command bits and carriers can be indicated in any command. In one example, different commands can be sent separately 098139963 Form Number A0101 Page 14 / 69 pages 0993061267-0 201112825 sent to start and deactivate each downlink carrier in the manner of Table 1, where Table 1 is used to start in MC-HSDPA with four DL carriers configured / The HS-SCCH order of the secondary carrier is deactivated. It should be understood that the actual command-bit mapping may take a different form than that shown in Table 1. It should also be understood that this concept has less than four DL carriers. The time is also applicable. In this case, the command associated with the start and deactivation of the unconfigured carrier will become "reserved".

This process can be applied to all of the embodiments discussed here. The actual command-bit mapping shown below can be applied on a per-carrier basis or in each group. 4 DL+1 UL Command Types (^odt »l,) Command command description X〇rd,l X〇rd^ X〇rd'3 001 0 0 0 Disable DL1 0 0 I Start DL1 0 1 0 Disable DL2 0 1 1 Start DL2 1 0 0 Disable DL3 1 0 1 Start DL3 1 1 0 Reserved 1 1 1 Reserved Table 1

In the second method, a plurality of UL carriers are configured. The following set of embodiments is directed to the case where two UL carriers are configured, and the existing three bits X ^ X β ^ can be reinterpreted to implement the auxiliary ord, 1 ord, 2 ord, 3 carrier-assisted Start/deactivate.

An example implementation is shown in Table 2 below, where each HS-SCCH order can initiate/deactivate a single DL carrier or a paired DL/UL carrier, which can be indicated by one command bit, while the remaining commands can Indicates a start/deactivate command for the target carrier or target paired carrier. If XQi_d is extensive, the command is a start/stop command for pairing DL1/UL1 carriers. If x^d^l, the command is a start/deactivate command for a single DL carrier (ie DL2 or DL3). In other words, in order to initiate or deactivate multiple downlink carriers, Node B can send multiple HS-SCCH commands.

It should be noted that these embodiments are also applicable when a single UL carrier is configured. As part of one of the embodiments, the sway/deactivation of the second and third secondary carrier pairs (i.e., DL2/UL2 and DL3/UL3) can be signaled together. For example, the 'HS-SCCH commands "ill", "ιοί" and 100 can be used to simultaneously activate/deactivate the UL and DL of the third-sided third secondary carrier. An example embodiment is shown in Table 4, where Table 4 shows an example ° HS-SCCH order for starting/deactivating secondary carriers in MC-HSPA. In the present embodiment, if 乂 = 〇, the version 9 DC-HSUPA command map can be applied to the first secondary carrier. If x 〇 rd, i = 1, the version 9 DC-HSUPA command map can be applied to both the second and third secondary carriers simultaneously. Without considering the backward-compatible version 9 DC-HSUPA, this embodiment can be applied to the other two combinations, ie simultaneously signaling the first and second secondary carriers or simultaneously signaling the first and the Three carriers. 098139963 Form No. A0101 Page/Total 69 Pages 0993061267-0 201112825

In another variation, if (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 0, the target of the HS-SCCH command may also be the third secondary carrier. If (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 1, then the target of the HS-SCCH order may be the first and second carriers. As shown in the above examples, these commands will be applied to these target carriers accordingly.

In another example embodiment, if (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 0 ' then the target of the HS-SCCH order may be the first and second secondary carriers: 011 means to initiate the first secondary UL and DL; 001 means starting the first secondary DL and deactivating the secondary UL; 000 means deactivating the first secondary DL and DL; 111 means starting the second secondary Ut and DL; 1〇1: meaning to start The second secondary DL and the deactivated secondary UL; 1 〇 β: means stop: use the second secondary ul and DL. If (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 1, then the s standard of the HS_SCCH command can be the third secondary carrier - oil means to start the third secondary ul and DL; 001 means to start the third secondary DL and use The second ul; 意味着 means that the third secondary UL and DL are deactivated. 〇 In another embodiment: ': If (HS-SCCK: number) modulo 2 = 0, then the target of the HS-SCCH order may be the second and third secondary carriers. If (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 1 ' then the target of the HS-SCCH order may be the first carrier. Alternatively, if (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 〇, then the target of the HS-SCCH order may be the first and third secondary carriers. If (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 1, then the target of the HS-SCCH order may be the second carrier. As shown in the example above, these commands will be applied to these target carriers accordingly. In another illustrative embodiment 'if (HS-SCCH) modulo 2 = 0, then the target of the HS-SCCH order may be 098139963 in the configured first frequency band.

Similarly, if (HS-SCCH number) modulo 2 = 1, then the target of the HS-SCCH order can be all carriers in the configured secondary band.

In another embodiment, the carrier or group of carriers for which the deactivation process is directed may be determined based on which carrier is transmitted on the HS_SCCH order. In other words, the disable command can be transmitted on the carrier that will be deactivated. On the other hand, the start command can be sent on any active carrier. One example implementation is shown in Table 5, where DLrx and ULrx correspond to UL and DL carriers associated with a DL carrier receiving an HS-SCCH order. Table 5 shows an HS-SCCH command for starting/deactivating secondary carriers in MC-HSPA. 4 DL + 4 UL "" command types (x〇dt, l» X〇dt, 2> Xodu) Command command description X〇«UX〇rd, 2 X〇rd, 3 0 0 0 Disable DLrx, disable ULrx 0 0 1 Start DLrx, disable ULrx 0 1 0 Reserved 001 0 1 1 Start DLrx, Start ULrx 1 0 0 Reserved 1 0 1 Start DL1 1 1 0 Start DL2 1 1 1 Start DL3 Table 5 [0009] As an option, "100" can be used to disable all carriers simultaneously. In another embodiment, the carrier or group of carriers for which the deactivation process is directed may be determined based on which frequency band the HS_SCCH command is transmitted on. In one example, a disable command for all carriers in a specified frequency band can be sent on any carrier of the frequency band to be deactivated. On the other hand, the start command can also be sent on any active carrier. The new command type is introduced here to support the activation of the secondary carrier. 098139963 Form No. A0101 Page 20 of 69 0993061267-0 201112825 Active/Deactivated Implementation. In one embodiment, the number of available HS-SCCH commands can be increased using additional command types. Doing so allows for the addition of more HS-SCCH commands' and these commands can be used to start and deactivate secondary UL and DL carriers. In the example implementation shown in Table 6 below, the command type XodU, X〇dt, 2, X〇dt, 3 = '〇〇1, can be used to send commands to start and deactivate secondary DL1, DL2, UL1 and UL2 'In addition, a new command type x〇dt rx〇dt 2, X0dt 3= '010' is introduced to enable and disable DL3 and UL3.

At present, the existing command bit of the secret pp version 9 is defined as 1, 1 〇 rd, 2, xard, 3 can be reused for each DL and UL pairing. Then these carrier pairs can be distinguished by the type of command. In an alternate embodiment, in an MC-HSPA system with 4 and 4 % carriers, the number of bits in the HS-SCCH command field is increased to enable/deactivate the secondary carrier. For one or more command bits added (eg x〇rd 4), these bits can be derived from the transport block size information (xtbspb, l 5 xtbspb, 2..., Xtbspb 6) fields. Any of the bit and/or 1-bit new data indicator (Xnd,) fields. It should be understood that after increasing the length of the command and/or command type by any of the methods described herein, various start/deactivate command mapping schemes having a three-bit command type and a three-bit command are possible. in use. In an alternate embodiment one or both of the 'HS-SCCH command type bits may be reinterpreted as HS-SCCH command bits. For example, interpreting xodt, i bits as xQi_d, 4, thereby providing more HS-SCCH commands 098139963 Form number A0101 Page 22/69 pages 0993061267-0 201112825 In an alternate embodiment, 'configuring the WTRU in In the multi-carrier mode, a new HS-SCCH type such as Type 4 can be introduced to transmit HS-SCCH commands. The WTRU configuration can be signaled from a higher layer. HS-SCCH Type 4 can be constructed to provide sufficient command bits to enable/deactivate secondary carriers in the MC-HSPA system. In an alternate embodiment, a single HS-SCCH command set (or a combination of sets) is used in sequence to enable/deactivate DL and/or UL carriers. An example is shown here with reference to Figure 5 where state 505 includes active camping carriers DL0 and UL0, and in state 510, command "00" initiates DL1. In addition, new states can be introduced in states 515 and 520. Command sets "101", "111", and "100" to enable/deactivate carriers DL2, UL2, DL3, and UL3, respectively. It should be noted that in this example, the command in the existing 3GPP Release 9 "00Γ4 "01" and "000" may be used to start DL1 and UL1. Alternatively, "000" may be used in any state to return to the basic state 505 in which all secondary carriers are deactivated.

G will now be exposed based on the group implementation of the secondary carrier start/deactivate method. In another embodiment, what is proposed is to disambiguate the secondary carrier group to apply a single start/deactivate command to the entire carrier group. This grouping can be determined using any of the above-described packet methods or combinations thereof. In these methods, the UTRAN can transmit an explicit signal for simultaneously activating or deactivating a carrier group in order to reduce the control signaling load. The signaling mechanism defined above for single carrier enable/disable can also be applied to the start/stop method of the carrier group. 098139963 In an example method, (page 23 / page 69 form number _ x 〇 dt, rx 〇 dt; 2 > X 〇 dt, such new 0993061267-0 201112825 HS-SCCH command type can be used to signal Notifying the WTRU to apply the start/deactivate command to a particular carrier group.

For example, with the command bit "〇〇〇, The range of existing command types may be commands for all configured carriers. Likewise, the process by which Node B transmits the command may be used to signal that all activated devices and carriers are deactivated. In another embodiment The single HS-SCCH order can be used to simultaneously initiate and/or deactivate any of the configured secondary UL and DL carriers 098139963. For each HS-form represented by the command type combined with the command bit煸号 A0101 Page 24 of 69 Page 099: 201112825 Ο ο b' The SCCH command says 'these commands indicate a status for all configured secondary and DL carriers' and the mapping between commands and status can be In any order. Given different carrier configurations (eg 4 DL+1 UL, 4 DL+2 UL, 4 DL + 3 UL, and 4 DL+4 UL), produced Total Action / disabled state carrier is 8,12,18 and 27 respectively. This means that a three-bit command can be used to represent 4 DL + 1 UL carriers' and a command with more than three bits supports a configuration with multiple UL carriers (eg, 4 DL + 2) It is necessary for DL, 4 DL+3 UL, and 4 DL + 4 UL 'but it is not limited to this. It should be noted that the above embodiment assumes that only the secondary carrier can be activated/deactivated by the HS-SCCH order. However, the process of simultaneously enabling/deactivating all configured carriers can also be applied to the case of starting/deactivating the primary DL/UL carrier. In the configuration of a single UL carrier 'because the three-bit command (X: YY) 0rd, l' x〇rd, 2' X〇rd, 3y can be obtained from the currently specified HS_SCCH command, therefore, the existing command class (XnH+ ,, x χ ) = « 001" and three-bit commands can be used to start/deactivate secondary carriers. An example is shown in Table 8, in which different HS-SCCH commands can be used Explicitly indicating which carriers can be activated and/or which carriers can be deactivated. An advantage of this embodiment over the prior embodiments of Table 1 is that a single command can be used to simultaneously enable/deactivate multiple carriers. It is understood that the actual command-bit mapping can take a different form than that shown in Figure 8. It should also be understood that the actual combination of carrier configurations defined for each command can take different forms. 098139963 Form Number A0101 Page 25 of 69 Page 0993061267-0 201112825 4 DL+1 UL Command Types C ^ odt, U ^ odt, 2 > ^ odt, 3 ) Carrier Configuration Command Description X〇rd, l X〇rd , 2 X〇rd, 3 001 0 0 0 ULO; DL0 deactivated: DU , DL2, DL3 0 0 1 ULO; DLO, DL1 disable DL2, DL3, start DLl 0 0 ULO; DLO, DL2 disable DL1, DL3, start DL2 0 1 ULO; DLO, DL3 disable DL1, DL2, start DL3 1 0 0 ULO; DLO, DL1, DL2 disable DL3, start DL1, DL2 1 0 1 ULO; DLO, DL1, DL3 disable DL2, start DL1, DL3 1 1 0 ULO; DLO, DL2, DL3 disable DL1, Start DL2, DL3 1 ϊ 1 ULO; DLO, DL1, DL2, DL3 Start DL1, D丨2, DL3 Table 8 [0012] In the multi-UL carrier configuration example, the existing command type and three-bit command are not necessarily sufficient to map Start/deactivate carrier state. This situation can be overcome using one of the following methods or a combination thereof. In the first method, a new command type is defined for MC-HSPA. The current HS-SCCH command entity channel There is a three-bit command type (x.^",

Xodt, 2, X. ), it can represent eight types of commands. In version 9 οαΐ, DC DC-HSUPA, the command type χ is used. ^ γ χ. ^ 2, x〇dt, 3= ‘〇〇〇, and part of the command type \dt,2,xQdt,r ‘001’. A new command type is defined such that more commands are available in the MC-HSPA with more than one configured UL carrier to map all generated start/deactivate carrier states. For example, to support 4 DL and 4 UL carriers, it is necessary to combine command types and command bits to control the resulting 27 carrier configuration states. The three-bit command type (XM^, XQdt 2, XQdt, 3) provides seven command types that can be combined with three-bit commands (x.^^, X()l_d,2, xQI_d,3) to create Enough command. Table 9 shows an example of the mapping between reserved (available) commands and all generated carrier configurations of an MC-HSPA system with 4 DL and 4 UL carriers. It should be understood that the actual 098139963 form number A0101 page 26 / 69 page 0993061267-0 201112825 The command _ bit map can be different from the form shown in Table 9.

This processing can be done by reinterpreting the command type as a command bit. This will increase the length of the command bit from three bits to six bits (three bits from the command type plus three from the command). One bit). This can fully support 4 DL + 4 UL carriers. According to whether the backward compatible version 9 DC_ Form No. A0101 Page 27 / Total 69 Page 0993061267-0 201112825 HSUPA, the command type combined with the three-bit command χ , ,, X , 0, odt, 1 odt, 2 X ^ = '000' can be used with or without the secondary carrier of MC_ 〇ut, 3 HSPA. As previously indicated, these commands were used in the past to enable/disable DTX, DRX, and HS-SCCH-less operations, as well as for HS-DSCH service cell changes in Release 9. In an alternative method, the retained new data indicator is combined with a portion of the transport block size information and can be reinterpreted as a command type and/or command. Since no HS-PDSCH is associated with the HS-SCCH command, use or reinterpret the six-bit transport block size information (X v tbspb, 1, tbspb, 2' meta-new data indicator (X, ... , Xtbspb j) Weng part and / or 1 bit nd l), can increase the length of the command. The examples xtbspb> 5, xtbspb, 6) and xnd> can be used to increase the length of the HS-SCCH Type 1 command. For example, if χ nd, 1 ' is used, xnd l can be set to X H z for the HS-SCCH command (HS-SCCH type 1).

Ord, 4' X〇rd, 5' X〇rd, 6, ° It should be understood that the reinterpreted bits can be mapped to any type of bit in the command type or command. In an alternate embodiment, a new HS-SCCH type of type 4 may be introduced to configure the HS-SCCH order when configuring the WTRU for multi-carrier operation or multi-carrier (MC) mode. This MC mode state can be explicitly signaled from the higher layer (e.g., via RRC signaling). The HS-SCCi! Type 4 can be configured to provide sufficient command bits to enable/deactivate secondary carriers in the Mc_HSPA system. 098139963 Form No. A0101 Page 28 of 69 0993061267-0 201112825 Ο The method disclosed here is to signal multiple HS-SCCH commands for MC-HSPA. Since the HS-SCCH order can be transmitted on any carrier, it is possible for multiple serving cells to signal multiple HS_SCCH commands' to base each carrier in MC-HSPA with, for example, 4 DL and 4 UL carriers. (either a single or pre-paired carrier, where the carrier can be pre-defined, pre-defined or pre-configured) or based on a group to enable/deactivate secondary carriers. Different commands can have different command types and sequences. The method can be applied to the MC_HspA having more carriers than 4 DLs and 4 ULs. In another embodiment, the 显_ transmits a button signal to initiate or stop each of the cutoffs or to initiate a separate start for each carrier.

In a first method, the L1 signal includes a S_SCCH command that can transmit start/stop for multiple carriers. "H" This process can be performed by some or all of the bits in the HS-SCXH command type bit. The mapping is performed to the specified carrier. The mapping can be configured either by the network or implicitly. Alternatively, the HS-SCCH command can transmit only a single-boot/material command combined with the target carrier address. This processing may be implemented by indicating that one of the four carriers is reserved by retaining two bits in the HS-SCCH order type, and leaving other bits to indicate carrier activation or deactivation. In the first method, 'LH5 includes an enhanced dedicated channel (E_D(8) Absolute Authorization Channel (EAGCH)' where the bit paste of the channel is reinterpreted as signaling to simultaneously activate/deactivate multiple carriers. In the third method In the L2 and L3 messages, the start and stop (four) commands are transmitted. In another embodiment, the start or disable of the carrier is triggered by implicit rules on the implicit u. The trigger can be based on the following parameters. Any 09 8139963 Form No. A0101 Page 29 / Total 69 H 0993061267-0 201112825 Individual parameters or combinations of parameters. For example, this parameter can be a buffer status such as total E-DCH buffer status (TEBS). It can also be Indicates the transport block size received by the cell, the power headroom indicated in the Scheduling Information (SI), or the Received Signal Code Power (RSCP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), or other similar measurement indication or Represented received signal power. The network may configure different thresholds for these triggers for activation and deactivation. Once carrier activation or deactivation is triggered, the WTRU may perform the following steps either individually or in any combination and sequence. The WTRU may use LI, L2, or L3 to deliver a carrier enable or disable indication message to the network. The WTRU may include measurements and/or causes of trigger carrier activation/deactivation as part of the indication message. The TRU may also include an index of the carrier to be activated/deactivated as part of the indication message. The WTRU may wait for an explicit start or disable command from the network. In one method, if the indication is deactivated, the WTRU may spontaneously disable the carrier. In another method, if the indication is carrier initiated, the carrier may be activated spontaneously. Once the auxiliary carrier is disabled, it may be discontinued for The channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback report for the supplementary carrier. Alternatively, the cq feedback report may be transmitted at a lower rate. In another alternative, the feedback report may be transmitted at a slower rate and using L2 signaling. For example, it is transmitted in the Media Access Channel (MAC) MAC-i header 'in addition it can also be transmitted in the port signaling instead of using the L1 two-speed dedicated entity control channel (HS_j) pCCH). Once the secondary carrier is activated, the CQI feedback can be resumed. These CQI activities apply to all of the embodiments disclosed herein. When multiple carriers are configured for multi-carrier operation in the same frequency band, these 098139963 Form No. A0101 Page 3 of 69 201199. 201112825 Carriers can be either adjacent or non-contiguous. Adjacent carriers can be spaced by the bandwidth required by a particular technique. For example, in WCDMA FDD, each carrier can be separated by 5 MHz. Therefore, the carrier frequencies of adjacent carriers are separated by 5 MHz. Typically, when N adjacent carriers are configured, the adjacent carriers will occupy an aggregated and continuous bandwidth of N times 5 MHz. Ο Due to hardware limitations, it is difficult for some WTRUs to simultaneously receive and successfully demodulate signals from non-adjacent carriers in the same frequency band. Hardware limitations may include limitations related to filtering these signals. For multi-carrier operation, when there are more than two carriers, it may be necessary to limit the carrier start/stop state of the WTRU in order to maintain or ensure a continuous start spectrum. When the WTRU does not support having non-adjacent carriers within one frequency band, RRC may not allow non-adjacent carriers to be configured within the frequency band. Similarly, Node B is not necessarily configured or allowed to use those that may result from one or

An HS-SCCH order for non-adjacent carriers is generated in the deactivation process of multiple configured carriers.

The HS-SCCH command scheme described here takes into account both non-adjacent and adjacent carriers. The method disclosed herein can also be used to initiate and deactivate multiple carriers in cases where only phase-cutting is initiated. This processing can be accomplished by retaining any HS-SCCH commands that result in non-adjacent carriers (i.e., 'these HS-SCCH orders may not be used or notified by the Node B). For example, in the example of MC-HSDPA having 4 DLs and 1 UL carrier, if no generality is lost, if four DL adjacent carriers are assumed to be adjacent in the order of DL0, DL1, DL2, and DL3, these are configured. Carrier, then, since DL3 can be started/deactivated only on the assumption that DL0/UL0 is not disabled, the command "0xx" in Table 1 can be retained here ("X" can be 0 or 1). Also in the case of having the above-mentioned adjacent load 098139963 Form No. A0101 Page 31 / Total 69 Page 0993061267-0 201112825 Wave Limit, the method disclosed herein for designing HS-SCCH commands for carrier start/deactivation is also available. To further optimize the start/stop of the carrier. Still further, a method for describing WTRU behavior when receiving a configuration message that results in an unsupported carrier start/deactivation configuration is disclosed herein. In one example, the WTRU receives an HS-SCCH order that causes an invalid carrier start/deactivate configuration. Upon receiving an HS-SCCH order that causes an invalid carrier start/deactivate configuration, the WTRU may perform either or a combination of the following: the WTRU may ignore the HS-SCCH order and maintain its current configuration; the WTRU may ignore the HS- S€CH command, and disable all auxiliary carriers in the band with non-adjacent carriers; the WTRU may HS-SCCH order on the HS-DPCCH; the FTRU may acknowledge the HS-SCCH order on the HS-DPCCH; the WTRU may be in the HS- A negative acknowledgment is made on the DPCCH for the HS-SCCH order; or the WTRU does not acknowledge the HS-SCCH on the HS-DPCCH (DTX) or negatively acknowledge it. Embodiments for enabling/disabling DRX and: MX protocols and for handling DRX and DTX operations are disclosed herein. The method for configuring a WTRU for DRX operation is described below. The WTRiff Dip Network uses L3 messaging to configure it. In a first embodiment, the network configures the WTRU using a set of DRX parameters, and the WTRU implicitly applies these DRX parameters to all of the lower key carriers. In another embodiment, the network configures a set of DRX parameters on each frequency band and the WTRU applies the same parameters to all of the downlink carriers in the same band. In another embodiment, the network individually configures a set of DRX parameters for each carrier. In still further embodiments, the network configures a set of DRX parameters for each anchor carrier.

Embodiments for triggering DRX initiation and deactivation on a WTRU are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the network may explicitly inform the WTRU to initiate or deactivate DRX. This start or stop message can be targeted to - a special line wave or a

Group carrier. In order to explicitly notify the bribe to start and deactivate, the network can initiate/disable alternate carrier activation/deactivation with DRX to use any of the above carrier start and stop methods. In another mode, the WTRU may (4) start or stop the Χβ for a carrier-like set or group. For example, the start-to-use trigger is based on any one of the following measurements or a combination thereof. 098139963 Form Number Α0101 Page 33 of 69 〆 201112825 is the downlink activity for the specified time period. Another measurement can be the downlink data rate for a given time period. Another measurement can be the reported CQI. Other measurements may also be radio power measurements such as common pilot channel (cpICH) measurements, RSCP, RSSI, and the like. These measurements can be performed on one or several carriers and can be averaged. The network may configure a threshold for entering DRX (DRX-in) and a threshold for leaving drx (DRX-out) based on one or more of the above measurements. When DRX is not active and the actual measurement reaches the 7DRX_in threshold, the WTRU may apply DRX on the associated carrier or carrier group. Similarly, when the DRX moves and actually measures the _DRX_〇ut threshold, the WTRU may deactivate (10) again on the associated carrier or group. In order to implicitly start and deactivate the DRX, the WT®U can notify the status change of the two steel roads. Therefore, when DRX is initiated, the WTRU may send a message to inform the network of a status change. The message may include any one of the following information or a combination thereof: a relevant carrier index or reference; a measurement of the trigger status change; a reason for the change; a start time; or a new enthusiasm. The WTRU activity associated with the DRX ladder at carrier start is disclosed herein. Once the WTRU has initiated one or more carriers, the shot (10) can perform any one of the following activities or a combination thereof. In one method, the RU can restore the DRX state of the carrier to its state prior to deactivation. In another method, the WTRU may configure the DRX state of the carrier to be the same state as the anchor carrier. In another approach, the WTRU may configure the DRX state of the carrier to be the same state as the anchor carrier in the same frequency band. In another approach, the WTRU may configure the DRX state of the carrier to be the same state as the other carriers in the same frequency band. In another approach, the WTRU may configure the DRX state to be "active." In another method, the WTRU may configure the 098139963 form number A0101 page 34/69 page 0993061267-0 201112825 DRX state as "inactive". In another embodiment, the WTRU may deactivate DRX for all carriers. In another approach, the WTRU may discontinue DRX for all carriers in the same band as the newly activated carrier. In another method, the WTRU may initiate DRX for all carriers. In a further approach, the WRTU may disable DRX for all carriers in the same frequency band as the newly activated carrier. The WTRU activity associated with DRX operation at carrier deactivation is disclosed herein. Once the WTRU has deactivated one or more carriers, the WTRU may perform any one of the following activities or a combination thereof. In one method, WTUR can > initiate DRX for all remaining active carriers or a group of remaining active carriers. For example, the WTRU interprets the carrier stop as a low active state transition or into a low power mode. In another embodiment, the WTKU may disable DRX for all remaining active carriers or one of the 'group remaining active carriers'. For example, the WTRU may interpret carrier deactivation as saving power without changing traffic activity.

Alternatively, the values of ACK and NACK may be reversed. In another alternative, the values of 'ACK and NACK' may be configured as values that are not &, rather than unit values. This configuration can also be used as a number notification. The result obtained by summing all the transmitted signatures can be scaled by a factor Δ M C ~~ ACK-NACK. This factor can be either predetermined or configured by the UTRAN. Or 'the scaling factor may depend on the number of ACK/NACKs transmitted. When multiple signatures are present at the same time, more power can be allocated for ACK/NACK at this time in order to compensate for the potential additional distortion in the signal. In an alternative embodiment, the scaling due to bran, _heart value can be determined by predetermined rules and based on the number of non-zeros transmitted. For example, for each additional non-value transmitted, an additional .Anz (in cents) will be added to the scaling factor, where Ληζ is signaled by UTRAN or pre-configured in the specification. In a second alternative embodiment, the lookup table that maps the scaling factor to a non-zero Ack_NACK number can be either predefined or signaled by the UTRAN.
