    2 Overview

    2.1 Feature Introduction

    2.1.1 ZWF26-01-010 Enhanced F-DPCH

    As a substitute for a downlink associated DPCCH, an F-DPCH is introduced to improve

    DL channelization code utilization efficiency. One F-DPCH can transmit TPCs of up to 10

    UEs per slot, see the following figure.

  • 7/25/2019 Enhanced F-DPCH Feature Guide

    6/23

    Enhanced F-DPCH

    ZTE Confidential Proprietary 5

    Figure 2-1 F-DPCH Multiplexed

    Because of soft handover or softer handover, each UE probably needs to receive

    F-DPCH signals from several cells. As a result, the average number of UEs served by

    each F-DPCH is reduced. Moreover, the F-DPCH is constrained by a timing offset;

    therefore, all F-DPCHs received by one UE must have the same timing offset. If another

    UE in the status of macro-diversity wants to use the same timing offset for the same

    F-DPCH, conflict occurs. In this case, the capacity of each F-DPCH is further reduced.

    Assuming that 30% of UEs are in the status of soft or softer handover, the capacity of an

    F-DPCH is decreased to 3 or 4 UEs actually.

    The enhanced F-DPCH feature has removed the restriction on F-DPCH timing offset, for

    example, allow activating several F-DPCHs to use different timing offsets, which are

    configured at the network side. This feature requires the UE to buffer a 1-bit TPC

    command per slot.

    Because the enhanced F-DPCH is introduced, the F-DPCH slot format defined in 3GPP

    R6 is changed. Originally, the offset is a fixed value from the TPC field to the slot

    boundary. After being changed, the offset is determined by one of the multiple F-DPCH

    slot formats. Assuming that 30% of UEs are in the status of soft or softer handover, the

    capacity of an enhanced F-DPCH is increased to 7 UEs actually.

    3 Technical Description

    3.1 ZWF26-01-010 Enhanced F-DPCH

    This feature is optional in 3GPP Rel-7. Because the slot formats for an F-DPCH areextended, there are 10 options for TPC position in one time slot at an F-DPCH frame

    offset. Compared with the F-DPCH in 3GPP Rel-6, an E-FDPCH increases the

    multiplexing opportunity for the UE during a soft handover, which saves downlink

    channelization code resources.

    For the basic principles of an F-DPCH, refer to the ZTE UMTS F-DPCH & SRB over

    HSDPA Feature Guide.

    For convenient description, the F-DPCH in this feature guide denotes a usual F-DPCH,and the E-FDPCH denotes an enhanced F-DPCH introduced in 3GPP Rel-7, that is, the

    extended slot formats based on the F-DPCH in 3GPP Rel-6.

    The differences between E-FDPCH and F-DPCH only reside in the multiplexing method,

    dynamic radio bearer control and mobility management, while the same parts are not

    described in this feature guide. For more details, refer to the ZTE UMTS F-DPCH & SRB

    over HSDPA Feature Guide.

    3.1.1 Frame Structure and Slot Format of an E-FDPCH

    The frame structure of an E-FDPCH is the same as that of an F-DPCH, and is illustrated

    in the following figure. The difference is the slot format.

    Figure 3-1 Frame structure of an F-DPCH

    In 3GPP Rel-6, a fixed slot format (Slot Format #0 in the following table) is used. In 3GPP

    Rel-7, there are 10 slot formats. Each slot format corresponds to a different position of

    the TPC field within an F-DPCH slot. Ten positions of 256 chips are denoted by Slot

    Format #0#9. The exact number of bits of the OFF periods and the number of the TPC

    field (NTPC) are described in the following table.

    Because the multiplexing is independent of each cell, the F-DPCH slot format is

    configured by the CRNC. For Iur, the slot format is allocated by the DRNC and then

    transfered to the SRNC. The UE during a soft hanover receives different slot formats

    from different cells and combines multiple TPC commands about the same downlink slot

    from the same radio link set.

    3.1.2 Requirements for Utilization of the E-FDPCH

    When the following conditions are met, the E-FDPCH can be enabled for the UE.

    The parameter for the E-FDPCH on the RNC level (Uhspa.rncEfdpchSupInd) is set

    to Supported.

    The parameter for the E-FDPCH on the cell level (UUtranCellFDD.efdpchSupInd) is

    set to Supported.

    The Node B indicates that the cell supports the E-FDPCH through the F-DPCH Slot

    Format Capability IE in the AUDIT RESPONSE message or other related

    messages.

    The UE indicates that it supports the E-FDPCH through the Enhanced F-DPCH

    supported IE.

    There is no DCH in the downlink.

    Note:

    If the conditions for utilizing the E-FDPCH are met and SRBs can be carried on HSDPA,

    and if there is a service carried on HSUPA, the conditions for SRBs carried on HSUPA

  • 7/25/2019 Enhanced F-DPCH Feature Guide

    10/23

    Enhanced F-DPCH

    ZTE Confidential Proprietary 9

    should be also met, otherwise, SRBs cannot be carried on HSDPA and the E-FDPCH

    cannot be used. For details, referto the ZTE UMTS SRB over HSUPA Feature Guide.

    For an inter-RNC neighboring cell, the E-FDPCH capacity is configured by

    UExternalUtranCellFDD.eFdpchSupInd.

    3.1.3 Multiplexing Method of the E-FDPCH

    For the cells and the UEs supporting the E-FDPCH, the multiplexing method of the

    channelization code for the E-FDPCH is independent of the configured F-DPCH frame

    offset, which means that the UEs with the same F-DPCH frame offset can use the same

    channelization code in different slot formats. The RNC allocates an F-DPCH slot format

    to each radio link through the Iub and the Uu interfaces.

    Both Rel-6 UEs and Rel-7 UEs may exist in a cell supporting the E-FDPCH. In order to

    allocate the same channelization code for the F-DPCH to UEs in these two versions, the

    RNC allocates an idle TPC bit position first for Rel-6 UEs, and then detemines the

    F-DPCH frame offset based on Slot Format #0 and the TPC bit position for the UE to

    establish the first radio link.

    3.1.4 Dynamic Radio Bearer Control for the E-FDPCH

    The principle of dynamic radio bearer control for the E-FDPCH is almost the same as that

    for the F-DPCH except for the parameters. Because the use of the F-DPCH is related to

    SRBs, the signaling channel allocation in the RRC phase, and signaling channel

    allocation in the RAB phase and Dynamic Channel Type Transfer are described as

    follows.

    3.1.4.1 Signaling Channel Allocation in the RRC Phase

    If the following conditions are met in the RRC phase, the SRBs of the UE can be carried

    on the HS-DSCH and there is an associated F-DPCH.

    The conditions of using E-FDPCH are satisfied, refer to 3.1.2 Requirements for

    Utilization of the E-FDPCH;

  • 7/25/2019 Enhanced F-DPCH Feature Guide

    11/23

    Enhanced F-DPCH

    ZTE Confidential Proprietary 10

    The URncFunction.InitRrcOnDchparameter is set to 7: Forced to HSPA or 8: Not

    Forced,Using HSPA Signalling on CELL_DCH state.

    If either of the above conditions is not met or the SRB fails to be established on HSPA,

    the RNC attempts to establish SRBs on the DCH at the rate of 3.4 kbps.

    3.1.4.2 Signaling Channel Allocation in the RAB Phase

    If the SRB is established on the DCH in the RRC phase, and if the following conditions

    are met in the RAB phase, the SRBs of the UE in the RAB phase can be carried on the

    HS-DSCH and there is an associated F-DPCH.

    The conditions of using E-FDPCH are satisfied, refer to 3.1.2 Requirements for

    Utilization of the E-FDPCH;

    If the UHspa.Event1fHsInd parameter is set to 1: True and event 1F is configured

    to the UE (that is, the measurement control message of event 1F is sent to the UE),

    event 1F is not triggered; otherwise, event 1F does not need to be considered.

    For the other scenarios of HS-DSCH serving cell change (including intra-frequency

    and inter-frequency), transition from non HS-DSCH to HS-DSCH triggered by thetraffic volume in a cell, or relocation into the RNC, the conditions for E-FDPCH usage

    are the same as those for signaling channel allocation in the RAB phase.

    Note:

    Event 1f indicates that the quality of a primary CPICH becomes worse than an absolute

    threshold during a specified period. For details, refer to the ZTE UMTS Handover Control

    Feature Guide.

    3.1.4.3 Dynamic Channel Type Transfer for the E-FDPCH

    The principles of dynamic channel type transfer for the E-FDPCH are the same as those

    for the F-DPCH. For details, refer to the ZTE UMTS F-DPCH & SRB over HSDPA

    Feature Guide.

  • 7/25/2019 Enhanced F-DPCH Feature Guide

    12/23

    Enhanced F-DPCH

    ZTE Confidential Proprietary 11

    3.1.5 Code Resource Allocation for the E-FDPCH

    Code resource allocation for the E-FDPCH is only related to channelization code

    allocation and scrambling code allocation for a new established F-DPCH. The allocation

    method is the same as that for the F-DPCH. For details, refer to the ZTE UMTS F-DPCH

    & SRB over HSDPA Feature Guide.

    3.1.6 Mobility Management for the E-FDPCH

    A cell supporting the E-FDPCH and a cell only supporting the F-DPCH may be adjacent

    cells, but the F-DPCH multiplexing method in each cell is independent, so the two kinds

    of cells can be in the same active set.

    If a UE supports the E-FDPCH, then the following situation may occur: Cell 1 in the active

    set allocates the F-DPCH based on the method in Rel-6 and cell 2 in the active set

    allocates the F-DPCH based on the method in Rel-7.

    When the serving HS-DSCH cell changes, if the F-DPCH/E-FDPCH is used in the source

    cell, but the conditions to use the F-DPCH/E-FDPCH are not met in the target cell, the

    transition from F-DPCH to DPCH will be triggered.

    When the serving HS-DSCH cell changes, if DPCH is used in the source cell, and the

    conditions to use F-DPCH/E-FDPCH is met in all the cells in the active set, the transition

    from a DPCH to an F-DPCH will be triggered.

    During a hard handover or relocation into the RNC, if the target cell meets the conditions

    to use the E-FDPCH, an F-DPCH is allocated.

    Note:

    For the conditions to use the E-FDPCH, refer to3.1.4.2 Signaling Channel Allocation in

    the RAB.For mobility management for the F-DPCH, refer to the ZTE UMTS F-DPCH &

    SRB over HSDPA Feature Guide.

    Because the F-DPCH Slot Format Support Request IE cannot be carried in the Radio link

    addition message across the Iur interface, the F-DPCH cell and the E-FDPCH cell

    crossing the Iur interface cannot stay in an active set if the UE is using the E-FDPCH.

    The following rules are used:

  • 7/25/2019 Enhanced F-DPCH Feature Guide

    13/23

    Enhanced F-DPCH

    ZTE Confidential Proprietary 12

    If all the neighboring cells of the DRNC configured on the SRNC support the

    E-FDPCH, the SRNC sends the F-DPCH Slot Format Support Request IE to the

    DRNC through the Radio Link Setup Request message or the Radio Link

    Reconfiguration Preparation message. And then the SRNC sends the F-DPCH slot

    format fed back by the DRNC to the UE.

    If not all the neighboring cells of the DRNC configured on the SRNC support the

    E-FDPCH, the SRNC does not send the F-DPCH Slot Format Support Request IE,

    and all the neighboring cells of the DRNC are regarded as cells with the F-DPCH.

    If there is a radio link on the DRNC which is using the E-FDPCH, and if a new radio

    link to be added on the DRNC does not support the E-FDPCH, the cell cannot be

    added to the active set.

    If there is a radio link on the DRNC which is using the F-DPCH, and if a new radio

    link to be added does not support the E-FDPCH, the radio link can only use the

    F-DPCH.

    If the E-FDPCH is used by the UE, and if a new radio link to be added supports

    neither the E-FDPCH nor the F-DPCH, the cell cannot be added to the active set.

    For a neighboring cell of the DRNC which is not configured on the SRNC, if the

    value of the cells F-DPCH Support Indicator in Cell Capability Container FDD

    fed back through the Iur interface is Support, the cell is regarded as a cell which

    supports the F-DPCH; otherwise, the cell is regarded as a cell which does not

    support the F-DPCH. If the value of the cells F-DPCH Slot Format Support

    Indicator in Cell Capability Container FDD fed back through the Iur interface is

    Support, the cell is regarded as a cell which supports the E-FDPCH; otherwise,

    the cell is regarded as a cell which does not support the E-FDPCH.

    6.1 Application Scenario

    1. Scenarios for Enabling the E-FDPCH

    One F-DPCH can be used by up to 10 users in time-multiplex mode and downlink

    channelization code resources are saved, especially after the E-FDPCH is introduced in

    3GPP Rel-7, the code utilization during a soft handover is improved. As a result of the

    code saving on the F-DPCH, the number of HS-DPSCHs is increased, and the average

    throughput and the user experience are improved. So it is recommended to activate this

    feature after HSDPA is deployed. The E-FDPCH feature developed by ZTE is compatible

    with the UEs supporting the F-DPCH in Rel-6.

    2. Precautions for Enabling the E-FDPCH

    Because there may be compatibility issues from some UEs, it is recommended to

    activate this feature in several cells first. If it is confirmed that there is no UE with

    compatibility issues, this feature can be activated in the entire network, otherwise it

    cannot be deployed in the network.

    6.2 Feature Activation Procedure

    The procedure describes how to find the GUI location of the parameters that are related

    to the deployment of this feature. The values indicated by the captures may be not the

    real value to be configured. For the real configuration value, refer to the last column of

    the table in chapter 4.

    Prerequisit

    e

    1. The WCDMA system is ready.

    2. Cell1 supports HSUPA, HSDPA and DCH.

    3. UE1 supports enhanced F-DPCH and resides in Cell1 in Idle mode.

    4. The Enhanced F-DPCH feature is enabled.

    Steps

    1. Use UE1 to activate a PS call in Cell1.

    2. Start FTP downloading.

    3. Stop FTP downloading and release the call.

    Expected

    Result

    1. The PS call is setup successfully after step 1.

    2. The RNC configures SRBs on HS and indicates the slot format in the Radio

    Bearer Setup message. The following IE should be present:

    fdpch_SlotFormatPresent = 1

    fdpch_SlotFormat = 0..9

    3. Data transfer is normal after step 2.

    4. The call is released normally after step 3.

    6.5 Network Impact

    1. Equipment Performance

    None

    2. Network KPI

    Activating this feature, the advantage is:

    Because of the restriction that the TPC from different cells for a given UE must have the

    same offset timing during a soft handover is removed for the E-FDPCH, the multiplexing

    of code resources increases, more downlink channelization codes are saved, and the

    average throughput and the user experience are improved.

    The possible disadvantages are as follows:

    Because the downlink Pilot of DPCCH is removed and the mechanism for the

    reliability of TPC commands between the F-DPCH and the DPCH is different, and

    the UE combines the different slot formats for TPC, the RTWP may be raised.

    Because there are compatibility issues from some UEs, the following KPIs may be

    deteriorated: CS RAB setup success rate (caused by concurrent PS services and

    CS services with the PS services set up first), PS RAB setup success rate, and PS

    call drop rate.
