Method, apparatus, and system for triggering resource configuration
First Claim
1. A method for triggering resource configuration, comprising:
- receiving, by a NodeB, a media access control packet data unit (MAC PDU) being sent from a user equipment (UE) when the UE is in a Cell_Paging Channel (Cell_PCH) state, wherein a scheduling information is included in the MAC PDU, and the scheduling information comprises a numeric value of a total enhanced dedicated channel buffer status (TEBS) field;
comparing, by the NodeB, the numeric value of the TEBS field with a first configured threshold and a second configured threshold, andsending, by the NodeB, an indication to a radio network controller (RNC) when the numeric value of the TEBS field exceeds the first configured threshold, wherein the indication is designated to trigger the RNC to initiate configuration of a dedicated transport channel for the UE;
sending by the NodeB, another indication to the RNC when the numeric value of the TEBS field is less than the second configured threshold, wherein the another indication is designated to trigger the RNC to reconfigure resources of the UE according to the another indication.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for triggering resource configuration are disclosed. The method includes: if user equipment (UE) in Cell_Paging Channel (Cell_PCH) state figures out that the total amount of buffer occupancy at the radio link control (RLC) layer or the Transport Channel Traffic Volume is larger than configured threshold, the UE carries an indication in a MEASUREMENT REPORT message and transmit the message to the network side, wherein the indication is used to trigger the network side to configure resources for the UE. With the present invention, the resource configuration is quickly triggered, and the delay of the UE in the data transmission is minimized.
