HSDPA High Speed Downlink Packet Access

HSDPA is a new technology introduced in

R5

Goal: To provide a packet-oriented wireless broadband

access service with high performance price ratio, high
downlink bandwidth and short delay for WCDMA
3GPP R5 standards are frozen in June, 2006

HSDPA High Performance Price Ratio

Downlink peak rate of single cell: 14.4Mbps
Multi-user share of single cell, with 230
users in theory
Low costSmall modification to R99

4G

Small modification to R99/R4 structure

HSDPA insists on the concept of smooth evolution.
HSDPA is the enhancement of R99 structure with the
newly added MAC-hs layer to achieve HARQ,
scheduling and AMC. It also adds three dedicated
channels on the physical layer.

Improve the system capacity by applying

HS-PDSCH can use QPSK or 16QAM modulation. M is the bit represented by each
modulation symbol. For example, M=2 stands for QPSK and M=4 stands for 16QAM.

All layer1 signaling are transmitted by affiliated HS-SCCH. HS-PDSCH doesnt carry

HS-DPCCH carries the feedback signaling transmitted by downlink HS-DSCH. The feedback
signaling includes HARQ-ACK and CQI.
Each 2ms subframe includes 3 slots with 2560 chips per slot, same as the normal DPCCH.
HARQ-ACK is at the first slot of HS-DPCCH subframe. CQI is at the second and third slots.
HS-DPCCH: SF=256, each slot has 10bits.
Normally one wireless link has a HS-DPCCH and it must exist with one certain uplink

HS-DSCH deploys fixed spreading factor with SF16. According to the CQI reported by
UE, Node B decides the size of data block, modulation, coding rate and the number of
code channels of HS-DSCH so that Node B can be quickly adaptive to the transmission
loss and channel fading when the data is transmitting.

First Rate Matching and Second Rate

Matching
First Rate Matching

The algorithm of first rate matching is almost the same with Rel99. Bits of
encoder output match with the bits of virtual IR buffer input. Virtual buffer
capacity NIR is given by the high layers. Encode bit NTTI is derived from the
high layer signaling and the signaling parameters of HS-SCCH of each TTI.

NIRNTTIthen first rate matching is transparent.

NIR<NTTIthen punch for NTTI bit.

Second Rate Matching

Second rate matching lets the output bits after first rate matching match with the physical
channel bits provided by the HS-PDSCH set in one TTI. The parameters of second rate
matching is controlled by RV parameters.

Second rate matching execute the punch again according to the value of s and r of the RV
parameters. The punched data can be put into different data sets and different data sets
correspond to different RV parameters. Only one data set is transmitted in any fixed time
segment.

Deploy different RV and punch method when retransmitting data
When 16QAM is deployed, different RV methods correspond to not only different
punch methods but also different constellation versions or reforming.

HSDPA congestion control means how to mitigate resource congestion under the condition of HSDPA system
resource congestion.

The resource of HSDPA is shared and utilized in the maximum. Thus the method of congestion control is

to access the resource again.
