METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALIGNING DOWNLINK DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION PATTERNS IN MULTIFLOW HSDPA

摘要

Aspects of this disclosure relate to methods and apparatuses for aligning downlink discontinuous reception patterns in multiflow High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). One aspect of the disclosure provides a method for wireless communications. The method includes: transmitting a current sub-frame pairing between a first cell and a second cell to an RNC, the current sub-frame pairing having a timing offset representative of a sub-frame delay between the first cell and the second cell; and receiving a confirmation regarding the sub-frame pairing, or an updated sub-frame pairing between the first and second cells and corresponding timing, from the RNC.
