Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus for radio link synchronization and power control in CELL_FACH state and idle mode are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits a random access channel (RACH) preamble and receives an acquisition indicator acknowledging the RACH preamble via an acquisition indicator channel (AICH) and an index to an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH) resource. The WTRU determines a start of an E-DCH frame. An F-DPCH timing offset is defined with respect to one of the RACH access slot and an AICH access slot carrying the acquisition indicator. A relative F-DPCH timing offset may be signaled to the WTRU and the WTRU may determine a start of an E-DCH frame based on the relative F-DPCH timing offset and timing of an AICH access slot including the acquisition indicator. The WTRU may transmit a dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) power control preamble before starting an E-DCH transmission.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for radio link synchronization and power control in CELL_FACH state, the method comprising: transmitting a system information block (SIB) including an offset value, value, wherein the SIB includes an indicator of a subset of access slots associated with a random access channel (RACH) preamble; receiving the RACH preamble in at least one of the subset of access slots; transmitting an acquisition indicator in response to the RACH preamble; trans…
