Downlink information processing method and device
First Claim
1. In a communications system in which a first base station continues to transmit to a user equipment (UE) after the UE stops processing information from the first base station, a downlink information processing method comprising:
- receiving, by the UE, stop indication information sent from a network side device,wherein the stop indication information instructs the UE to stop receiving downlink information received over any available dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH), dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH) and/or F-dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) of a communication link that is one of multiple communication links between the UE and the first base station or any other available base station; and
stopping, by the UE according to the stop indication information, the receiving of downlink information received over the available DPCCH, DPDCH and/or F-DPCH while not affecting uplink transmission of the UE over any of the multiple communication links and while the first base station continues to transmit information to the UE such that the UE does not process information over any available DPCCH, DPDCH and/or F-DPCH from the first base station or any of the other any base stations.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a downlink information processing method and a device. The method includes: determining, by UE, whether a communication link between a cell in an active set and the UE meets a preset communication quality requirement; and if the communication link between the cell in the active set and the UE does not meet the preset communication quality requirement, stopping, by the UE, processing downlink information that is sent from a base station by using the communication link; therefore, transmission performance of the UE is not affected.

6. In a communications system in which a first base station continues to transmit to a user equipment (UE) after the UE stops processing information from the first base station, the UE comprising:
-
a processor; a receiver configured to cooperate with the processor to receive stop indication information sent from a network side device, wherein the stop indication information instructs the UE to stop receiving downlink information over any available dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH), dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH), or F-dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) of a communication link that is one of multiple communication links between a base station and the UE and the first base station or any other available base station; and the processor configured to stop, according to the stop indication information, the receiving of downlink information received over the available DPCCH, DPDCH and/or F-DPCH while not affecting uplink transmission of the UE over any of the multiple communication links and while the first base station continues to transmit information to the UE such that the UE does not process information over any available DPCCH, DPDCH and/or F-DPCH from the first base station or any of the other any base stations. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. In a communications system in which a first base station continues to transmit to a user equipment (UE) after the UE stops processing information from the first base station, a downlink information control method comprising:
-
determining, by a radio network controller (RNC), whether a first communication link between a micro cell and the UE meets a communication quality requirement; and sending, by the RNC, a stop message to the UE when the first communication link does not meet the communication quality requirement, wherein the stop message instructs the UE to stop receiving and processing downlink information over any available dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH), dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH) and/or F-dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) of the first base station or any other available base station while the first base station continues to transmit information to the UE such that the UE does not process information over any available DPCCH, DPDCH and/or F-DPCH from the first base station or any of the other base stations. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. In a communications system in which a base station continues to transmit to a user equipment (UE) after the UE stops processing information from the base station, a downlink information control method comprising:
-
receiving, by a base station, a first indication message from a radio network controller (RNC) when a cell serving the UE is a micro cell, wherein the first indication message instructs the base station to stop sending a transmit power control (TPC) command to the UE by way of a communication link between the base station and the UE when the communication link between the base station and the UE does not meet a signal quality requirement; sending, by the base station, stop indication information to the UE, wherein the stop indication information instructs the UE to stop receiving downlink information received over any available dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH), dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH) and/or F-dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) of the communication link that is one of multiple communication links between the base station and the UE; and stopping, by the base station according to the first indication message, sending the TPC command to the UE by way of the communication link while continuing to otherwise transmit information to the UE. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. In a communications system in which a base station continues to transmit to a user equipment (UE) after the UE stops processing information from the base station, a radio network controller (RNC) comprising:
-
a processor configured to determine whether a first communication link between a micro cell and the UE meets a first communication quality requirement; and a transmitter configured to cooperate with the processor and, when a second communication link between the base station and the UE does not meet a second communication quality requirement, a) send a first indication message to the base station, wherein the first indication message instructs the base station to stop sending a transmit power control (TPC) command to the UE by way of the second communication link, and b) send stop indication information to the UE, wherein the stop indication information instructs the UE to stop receiving downlink information received over any available dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH), dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH) and/or F-dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) of the second communication link that is one of multiple communication links between the base station and the UE while the base station continues to transmit information to the UE. - View Dependent Claims (17)
