Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device receives information regarding allocation of an enhanced dedicated channel radio network temporary identifier (E-RNTI) to user equipment in a cell forward access channel (Cell_FACH) state, and receives information regarding a state change associated with the user equipment. The device determines that the E-RNTI can be released based on the state change, and provides, to another device, a request to release the E-RNTI in response to the state change and so that the E-RNTI can be used by other user equipment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A radio network controller, RNC, device comprising: a memory to store a plurality of instructions; and a processing unit to execute instructions in the memory to: receive information regarding allocation of an enhanced dedicated channel radio network temporary identifier, E-RNTI, to user equipment in a cell forward access channel, Cell_FACH, state; receive information regarding a state change associated with the user equipment; determine that the E-R…
