First Claim
Patent Images
1. A signaling method implemented by a radio network controller, said method comprising:
- determining a mobility rate of a mobile station;
selecting either a first downlink channel or a second downlink channel for a signaling connection with the mobile station based on the mobility rate of the mobile station; and
configuring the signaling connection with the mobile station to use the selected downlink channel.

Abstract
A Radio Network Controller (RNC) is configured to send Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages to a mobile station using a selected downlink channel. Depending on the mobility rate of the mobile station, the RNC is configured to configure a signaling connection to use either a first downlink channel or a second downlink channel for transmitting the RRC messages. According to one embodiment, the RNC selects a dedicated channel when the mobile station has a high mobility rate, and selects a shared channel when the mobile station has a low mobility rate.
