Gap and preamble parameters for control channel transmission
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- defining at least one parameter of a control signal for an uplink control channel using a predetermined criterion, said at least one parameter depending on at least one of;
a maximum allowed data rate of a data signal on an uplink data channel, andan actual data rate of said data signal; and
transmitting said control signal with said at least one parameter on said uplink control channel by a user equipment to a network element.

Abstract
The specification and drawings present a new method, system, apparatus and software product for defining parameters for a control signal (e.g., discontinuous signal) for an uplink control channel using a predetermined criterion depending on a maximum allowed data rate and/or an actual data rate of a data signal on an uplink data channel. The parameters can comprise at least one of: a preamble length of a preamble of the control signal, a gap length of inactive transmission period, and/or a burst length of an active transmission period of the control signal. The uplink control channel can be an uplink dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) and the data channel can be an enhanced dedicated channel (E-DCH).
