Background technology

In RAN29 meeting of 3GPP, the job of a Continuous connectivityfor packet data users (forever online) has been set up in approval, and this job wishes that the target of reaching is: the number that improves the Packet Service online user.

The source of described job is: for some business, its traffic models is the interrupted transmissions of data, in business procedure, the interrupted number of times of data is very many, such as the web page browsing business, generally be that download webpage and browsing page hocket, promptly have the transmission of transfer of data and free of data to hocket.Also for a long time fragmentary transfer of data of some service needed if having or not transfer of data, is all kept same state, and also Resources allocation when not having transfer of data will be wasted resource; If when transfer of data begins, connect, when number pass to finish, discharge and connect, will cause the frequent foundation and the release that connect, the load of increase system control increases data transmission delay.

At the problems referred to above, permanent online job wishes to adopt certain technology, makes UE (subscriber equipment) constantly idle what do not have data to send, can remain on CELL_DCH state (connected state) for a long time, few again simultaneously resource of eating dishes without rice or wine that consumes.

In existing WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)) agreement, when UE is in the CELL_DCH state, up DPCCH (Dedicated Physical Control Channel) is bound to send, and will bring uplink interference to other users like this, makes the number of users that is in connected state be restricted.

Therefore, mainly having proposed DPCCH gating (DPCCH sends at interval) and SIR Target (signal-to-noise target value) among the disclosed 3GPP TR 25.903V0.0.3 in October, 2005 3GPP reduces by two kinds of schemes and solves the problems referred to above.

Described DPCCH gating scheme is with reference to shown in Figure 1, when the non-activated state of data, only at the parton frame period of partial frame property ground transmitting uplink control channel; When the data transmit status, the normal transmission ascending control channel.This method can promote the number of free of data transmission user in the sub-district, and this scheme can also promote the capacity of HSPA (high-speed packet access) when carrying IMS (integrated multimedia subsystem) real time business.

But, because the discontinuous transmission of upstream data causes this scheme to have following defective:

1) descending F-DPCH (burst DPCH) the power control meeting of channel is subjected to the influence of up discontinuous transmission;

2) channel estimation process during uplink demodulation can be affected, and like this in order to realize the synchronous/asynchronous detection of physical layer, just requires to adopt higher transmitting power when sending DPCCH, has limited the degree of performance improvement.

The scheme that described SIR Target reduces is specially: when up when not having data to send, the base station initiatively reduces SIR Target, make the transmitting power of DPCCH be reduced to the degree that to keep inner-loop power control, close the transmission of up CQI (channel quality indication) simultaneously.

The scheme that above-mentioned SIR Target reduces, because up DPCCH remains continuous transmission, though required DPCCH power has reduced, the up-link capacity that improves is still limited.
