METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPORTING SUPPORTING CAPABILITY OF A CELL FOR DOWNLINK HIGH-LEVEL MODULATION

摘要

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for reporting the supporting capability of a cell for downlink high-level modulation, which are used for a drift radio network controller (DRNC) reporting whether an associative cell supports downlink high-level modulation or not, in which, the method includes the following steps: after receiving a request message from a serving radio network controller (SRNC), the DRNC reports the supporting capability information of the associative cell for downlink high-level modulation through signaling to the SRNC. Accordingly, the method and the apparatus for the DRNC reporting the supporting capability of a cell under the jurisdiction of the DRNC for downlink high-level modulation provided in the present invention enable the SRNC to acquire information to participate in determining whether to use the downlink high-level modulation for a user device by the DRNC reporting to the SRNC whether the cell under the jurisdiction of the DRNC supports downlink high-level modulation.
