METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EVENT REPORTING BASED SPURIOUS DPCH REMOVAL IN SOFT HANDOVER
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- determining that a dedicated physical channel (DPCH) is spurious;
removing the DPCH from soft combining; and
sending a report indicating that a cell associated with the DPCH is unavailable.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for event reporting based spurious dedicated physical channel (DPCH) removal in soft handover include user equipment (UE) management of spurious channels. In one aspect, the disclosure provides methods and apparatus for wireless communication that may include determining that a dedicated physical channel (DPCH) is spurious, removing the DPCH from soft combining, and sending a report indicating that a cell associated with the DPCH is unavailable. Further, the methods and apparatus may include incrementing a counter for the cell associated with the DPCH in response to removing the DPCH, determining whether the counter exceeds a removal threshold, and increasing a time to trigger for sending a report to add the cell to an active set in response to the counter exceeding the removal threshold. A cell associated with a removed DPCH may also be excluded from measurements of a current frequency.
