CONTROLLING USER EQUIPMENT NODES FOR ENHANCED UPLINK AND USER EQUIPMENT NODES CONFIGURED FOR ENHANCED UPLINK

摘要

Methods for controlling uplink transmission of data to a network node of a communications system a user equipment node are disclosed. The methods include receiving parameters to configure enhanced uplink in CELL_FACH state determining whether the user equipment node is able to communicate on an E DCH in CELL_FACH state and determining whether additional defined conditions have been satisfied and performing a cell update operation to obtain an E RNTI value responsive to determining that the user equipment node is not able to communicate on an E DCH in CELL_FACH state. The methods may also include transmitting uplink data on an E DCH transport channel to the network node responsive to determining that the user equipment node is able to communicate on an E DCH in CELL_FACH state and determining that the additional defined conditions have been satisfied. Related user equipment nodes are also disclosed.
