In an implementation manner, when the UE receives DCH data from the access network, the method further includes receiving, by the UE, an F-DPCH of the first base station according to the instruction of the first RRC signaling, where the F-DPCH is used to perform transmit power control on the UE.
In another implementation manner, when the UE receives DCH data from the access network, the method further includes disabling, by the UE, a function of receiving a downlink DPCCH sent by the first base station.
In another implementation manner, after the UE adds the first base station to the E-DCH active set of the UE, the method further includes receiving, by the UE, first control signaling sent by a network; and receiving an F-DPCH of the first base station according to an instruction of the first control signaling; or receiving a downlink DPDCH sent by the first base station, where the downlink DPDCH is used to carry DCH data received by the UE from the first base station.
In another implementation manner, the receiving, by the UE, a downlink DPDCH sent by the first base station further includes receiving, by the UE, a downlink DPCCH of the first base station, where the downlink DPCCH is used by the first base station to send physical layer control signaling to the UE.
In another implementation manner, the first control signaling sent by the network includes second RRC signaling sent by the RNC; or first physical layer signaling sent by a second base station in the access network, where the second base station is in the E-DCH active set or a DCH active set of the UE.
