Link adaptation
Lack of fast power control
Link adaptation selects the suitable combination of codes, coding rates
and modulation to be used
For internal use

Packet schduling (1/2)
Fast Packet Scheduling:
Node B decides allocation of HSDPA resources to UE every TTI = 2 ms
supported Packet Scheduler algorithm*:
Round Robin RR
Proportional Fair PF (requires individual license)
* Type of scheduler set by

HSDPA.BB.Resource.Allocation commissioning
parameter
Round Robin (RR)

assigns sub-frames in rotation
User at cell edge served as frequently

as user at cell centre
doesnt account for UEs channel

conditions
Low total throughput in cell
if no data have to be transferred to
certain UE then sub-frame assigned to
next UE

Packet schduling (2/2)
Proportional Fair (PF)
Takes into account multipath fading conditions experienced by UE
Improved total throughput in cell compared to RR
Sub-frames assigned according scheduling metric
Ratio instantaneous data rate / average data rate experienced in the past

HSDPA L1 Retransmissions
Rel99 only RLC retransmissions are used

HSDPA
physical layer retransmissions and retransmission combining
RLC retransmissions applied when L1 retransmissions failed
For internal use

HSDPA L1 Retransmissions soft combining

Here the rate matching
functionality is identical
between transmissions and
always the same bits remain
after rate matching operation
and are sent.
For internal use

13

HSDPA L1 ReTX incremental redundancy

matching between
retransmissions
The relative number of
parity bits to

Other properties
User allocation with base station based scheduling every

2 ms, with fast physical layer signalling.
Lack of soft handover. Data are sent from one serving HSDSCH cell only.
Lack of physical layer control information on the HS-PDSCH.
This is carried instead on the HS-SCCH for HSDPA use and
on the associated DCH (uplink power control, etc.)
No discontinuous transmission (DTX) on the slot level. The
HS-PDSCH is either fully transmitted or not transmitted at all
during the 2-ms TTI.
For internal use

17
High speed shared control channel

(HS-SCCH)
carries time-critical signalling information which allows the
terminal correctly read HS-DSCH
Information that allows to

de-spread of correct codes
and apply right modulation
ARQ process is being

transmitted
Redundancy version and
constellation
Transport block size
For internal use

18

(HS-SCCH)
Only one HS-SCCH needed if only time multiplexing is used
More than one HS-SCCH needed if time & code multiplexing is used
For internal use

19

(HS-SCCH)
Up to 4 HS-SCCH codes in cell (4 users simultaneously)

Using spreading factor 128
Modulated with QPSK
No pilot or power control bits are carried
phase reference is always the same as for the HS-DSCH
One-third convolutional coding

turbo-coding does not make sense with such a small amount of
information
ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest ) info is additionally

protected with CRC
Wrong HARQ process number can cause buffer corruption
For internal use

20
High-speed dedicated physical control

channel (HS-DPCCH)
Uplink channel that carries the uplink HSDPA related L1
control information to the BTS
HS-DPCCH uses a fixed spreading factor of 256
Timing from downlink packet to uplink feedback (ACK/NACK)
is fixed thus network knows for which packet the info is
related to
For internal use

21
High-speed dedicated physical control

channel (HS-DPCCH)
The HARQ feedback informs the base station whether the
packet was decoded correctly or not
Channel quality information (CQI), respectively, tells the base
station scheduler the data rate the terminal expects to be able
to receive at a given point in time.
the CQI transmission frequency is parameterized
CQI information can be also repeated, valid for cell edge operation:
the available power would not ensure sufficient quality for feedback
reception
when terminal has to reduce the uplink transmission power level if any of
the cells in the active set sends a power-down command
For internal use

22
HSDPA & Soft Handover

In case of DCH all data is sent from all active set BTSs
In case of HSDPA, HS-DSCH sent from one BTS only,
associated DCH (can be low rate if only signalling) from all
cells
For internal use

23
HSDPA & Compressed mode

The inter-frequency measurement is handled by scheduling
HS-SCCH/HS-PDSCH are always trasnsmitted fully or then
not at all if there is any overlapp during the 2 ms TTI
Alternatively one can switch back to DCH for inter-frequency
measurements

HSUPA Rel.6
High Speed Uplink Packet Access
For internal use

27
HSUPA Highlights
Peak data rates increased to significantly higher than 2 Mbps;
Theoretically reaching 5.8 Mbps
Reduced delay from retransmissions.
Solutions:
Layer 1 hybrid ARQ
Node B based scheduling for uplink
Frame sizes 2ms & 10 ms
SF2 and SF4, and multicode transmission
For internal use

28
New Channels introduced with HSUPA

User data is carried on:
enhanced dedicated physical data channel (E-DPDCH)
Signalling is carried on:
enhanced dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH)
E-DCH absolute grant channel (E-AGCH) (scheduling support)
E-DCH relative grant channel (E-RGCH) (scheduling support)
E-DCH HARQ indicator channel (E-HICH) (retransmission support)
DCH (Rel99)
For internal use

29
HARQ
Synchronous N-process SAW HARQ
Timing of the uplink packet defines to which HARQ process it belongs to
Timing of the downlink ACK/NACK defines which packet is referring to
E-DPCCH carrying HARQ information to the Node B

E-HICH carrying HARQ ACK/NACK back to the UE
For internal use

30
HARQ in soft handover

If the single Node B part of the active set sends an ACK the
transmission is consider as a successful.
NACKs are transmitted from all of same E-DCH radiolink set
cells in order to enable combining in the receiver
MAC-es in the RNC to reorder the packets arriving in disorder
due to HARQ
For internal use

31
Node B Controlled HSUPA Scheduling

Many To One scheduler type
Scheduled resource is not power like in HSDPA case but
noise raise
Schedulers target is to keep interferences as close to
maximum as possible via controlling gain (over E-DPCCH)
factor the UE may use for E-DPDCH transmission.
For internal use

32
Scheduling in Soft Handover

There is one serving cell
Serving cell sends either up or down command, also the absolute grant
channel is monitored from serving cell only
Other cells in the active set (assuming they also support HSUPA) send
only relative grant down commands
Those can be configured in such a way that multiple terminals listen to same
command -> overload handling
For internal use

33
E-DCH dedicated physical data

channel (E-DPDCH)
Used to transmit the coded E-DCH transport channel
Turbo coding, 24 bit CRC, HARQ with incremental
redundancy
SF from 2 to 256
Supports simultaneous transmission of two SF2 and two SF4
For internal use

34
E-DCH dedicated physical data

channel (E-DPDCH)
The E-DPDCH is not a standalone channel, but requires
simultaneous transmission of the DPCCH with following
information:
pilot bits are needed for channel estimation and signal to interference
ratio (SIR) estimation purposes in the receiver
power control bit needed for downlink power control
Two TTI lengths supported, 2 ms and 10 ms
For internal use

35
E-DCH dedicated physical control

channel (E-DPCCH)
Uplink channel, used for transmitting out-of-band information
about E-DPDCH like:
required for power control and uplink channel estimation
SF used is 256
Tailored to work with 2 ms TTI, when 10 ms TTI is used the
data is repeated five times, allowing reduction of power level
For internal use

36
E-DCH dedicated physical control

channel (E-DPCCH)
Information bits on the E-DPCCH
Retransmission Sequence Number for HARQ, 2 bits
informing the HARQ sequence number of the transport block currently
being sent on E-DPDCHs
Happy-bit for scheduling, 1 bit

indicates whether the UE is content with the current data rate
E-TFCI 7 bits
tells the receiver the transport block size coded on the E-DPDCH
Indicating the transport format being transmitted simultaneously on EDPDCHs
Knows bases on upper functionality how many E-DPDCHs are
transmitted in parallel and what spreading factor is used
For internal use

37
E-HICH/E-RGCH
E-DCH HARQ indicator channel
Downlink physical channel used for transmitting ACKs and NACKs for uplink
packet transmission
In SHO, each BTS sends ACK, retransmission until at least one cell
responds with an ACK
Only serving cell can send NACK saving DL transmission power
E-DCH relative grant channel

Downlink physical channel used for transmitting single step-up/ down
scheduling commands
Commands are affect the relative transmission power the UE is allowed to use
for data channel transmission (E-DPDCH), thus effectively adjusting the uplink
data rate up/down.
The cells not belonging to the E-DCH serving radio link set may only transmit
down command
Only the serving cell and the other cells belonging to the same E-DCH radio
link set can increase the UEs allowed maximum relative transmission power
For internal use

38
E-DCH absolute grant channel

(E-AGCH)
Downlink physical channel used for transmitting an absolute value of the Node B
schedulers decision
UE is informed about the relative transmission power it is allowed to use for (E-DPDCH)
(which in fact means the maximum transmission data rate UE may use)
SF256 channel transmitting 6 information bits and a 16-bit UEspecific CRC

5 bits for E-DPDCH/DPCCH power ratio
1 bit for process applicability
16-bit CRC used to identify to which UE the AG is for
Sub-frame is repeated 5 times when 10 ms E-DCH TTI is used

Frequency Domain Equalizer FDE - Basics

Brief description / Motivation:
Before FDE: Node B receiver based upon RAKE receiver technology
RAKE unable to receive high data rates even in total absence of other cell
interference short spreading codes (SF2) vulnerable to ISI
FDE captures the energy from all multipath components and allows up to 2x
higher 16QAM data rates compared to a RAKE receiver
FDE can remove ISI, leaving other users of same cell & surrounding cells to be
main limiting factors for UL data rates
Interference from other users of the own cell can reduced by HSUPA IC
FDE is prerequisite for HSUPA 16QAM

HSUPA Interference Cancellation Receiver - Basics

Brief description / Motivation:
reduces UL Intra-cell interference with non-linear Interference Cancellation

IC method called Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC)
Basic PIC decreases interference from HSUPA 2 ms TTI users to other UL
channels
Enhanced PIC decreases interference from HSUPA 2 ms TTI users on each

other
larger peak HSUPA data rates (also 16-QAM)
Improving features FDE & HSUPA 16QAM
IC users:
Non-IC users:
57
improved coverage e.g. for AMR calls existing in parallel with peak rate users
Users mapped on E-DCH with 2ms TTI

for which Interference Cancellation IC is
applied usually users with the highest
power
IC users do not get any direct benefit from
IC (indirectly from lower Tx power of other
users)
Rest of 2ms TTI E-DCH users, all 10ms

TTI E-DCH users and all DCH users
Interference is reduced for non-IC users
only
PIC state change of cells with PIC-Automatic is controlled by BTS

Cells with highest traffic shall be selected for IC
Cell are deselected for IC if traffic has decreased
Basic Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC) method
UL signal received with Rake Receiver or FDE technique
Turbo decoding obtain 2 ms TTI E-DCH signals
Decoded data used to reconstruct original 2 ms TTI signals (interference for other users)
Reconstruction includes turbo encoding spreading & modulation.
Cancel interference from 2 ms TTI user: Reconstructed signals are summed up &
subtracted from the original antenna signal non-IC users signal (residual signal)
Non-IC users signals are demodulated on the residual signal, benefiting from a lower
interference level improving cell coverage & capacity

HSUPA 16QAM: RAN1645

Brief description of 16 QAM in UL
Dual 4PAM modulation is used (4PAM 4 symbols & 2 bits per
symbol)
Variable SF2 for Bit Rate (BR) adjustment
Multicode operation is needed to maximise Bit Rate after max SF is
used (max 4 data codes in parallel when no DPDCH configured)
With W=3.84McpsSymbol rate=2W/SF2+ 2W/SF4=5760 ksps
BRmax=25760ksps=11520 kbps
Motivation & benefits

Using higher order modulation, more symbols can be transmitted,
therefore more bits can be assigned to each symbol, while the
duration of symbol is kept. This results in higher Bit Rate.
Most beneficial with low intra-cell interferences.
Interference cancellation techniques are welcome to lower the intracell noise.
Drawbacks
Reduction of the Euclidean distance between adjacent symbols. This
results in stricter requirement in SNR per symbol to achieve the same
BER
RoT limit requirement rises high, as the own signal interferences from
16QAM are high. Therefore this feature is dedicated for micro, pico
cells.

E-DCH Absolute Grant Channel (E-AGCH)
E-DCH Relative Grant Channel (E-RGCH)
E-DCH Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel (E-HICH)
Fractional Dedicated Physical Channel (F-DPCH)
Controlling the transmit powers of the HSUPA downlink control channels based on
the feedback received from UE
