METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING DATA FORMAT SELECTION PROCEDURE (E-TFC) FOR UPLINK-DIRECTED COMMUNICATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of optimizing a data format selection procedure (E-TFC) for up link communication between a terminal and a base station on a cellular communication network in which the base station transmits to the terminal a signal including at least one piece of update information of at least one predetermined parameter intervening the data format selection. The method in accordance with the present invention further includes the step of optimizing a period of time required to detect the signal transmitted from the base station.
