Because the current RRC: ACTIVE SET UPDATE message presently used in soft
handover does not contain HS-DSCH related information, which could be
utilized for a Serving HS-DSCH cell change, a separate Radio Bearer
Control procedure is needed between the UE (10) and the RNC (20) for
carrying out the Serving HS-DSCH cell change. Should HS-DSCH related
information--applicable to Serving HS-DSCH cell change--be added to the
RRC: ACTIVE SET UPDATE message (32), an unnecessary Radio Bearer Control
procedure is avoided, and the drawbacks of the current method are
overcome.
