HSDPA features
Legend Technologies Co. 5
• New HS-DSCH requires a new radio interface layer 2 functionality
• New functionality is placed in the functional entity of the MAC layer, called MAC-hs.
• MAC-hs is placed in the RBS to achieve desired signaling speed for supporting HS-DSCH

Shared channel transmissiom
Legend Technologies Co. 7
Fast link Adaptation
Legend Technologies Co. 8
Fast link dependent scheduling
Legend Technologies Co. 9
Fast link dependent scheduling methods
• Round Robin (RR)– Cyclically assign the channel to users without taking channel
conditions into account– Simple but poor performance
• Proportional Fair (PF)– Assign the channel to the user with the best relative channel
quality– High throughput, fair
• Max C/I Ratio– Assign the channel to the user with the best channel quality– High system throughput but not fair
Legend Technologies Co. 10
Fast hybrid ARQ
Legend Technologies Co. 11
Fat hybrid ARQ schemes
• Chase combining : each retransmission is an identical copy of the original transmission.
• Incremental Redundancy : each retransmission may add new redundancy

HSDPA channel structure
• HS-DSCH - High-Speed Downlink Shared Channel:– transport channel that carries the user data.
• HS-PDSCH - High-Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel:– physical downlink channel that carries the user data and layer 2 overhead
bits over the air interface.• HS-SCCH - High-Speed Shared Control Channel (s):
– physical downlink channel that carries control information how to decode the information on HS-PDSCH and which UE that shall decode it.
• HS-DPCCH - High-Speed Dedicated Physical Control Channel:– physical uplink channel to send ACK/NAK reports and channel quality
reports
• A-DCH (DPDCH+DPCCH) - Associated Dedicated Channel
Legend Technologies Co. 17
HS-DSCH
• One transport block of dynamic size per 2 ms TTI.• Supports link adaptation and hybrid ARQ with soft combining.• Always associated with a DPCH.• Never in soft handover.• Mapped to one or several HS-PDSCH (SF=16).• TFRC: Transport Format and Resource Combination
– modulation, transport block size, channelization code set
Legend Technologies Co. 18
HS-SCCH
• TFRI – Transport Format Related Information– Modulation scheme [1 bit]– Channelization Code Set [7 bits]– Transport Block Size [6 bits]
• HARQ(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) related parameters– HARQ process number [3 bits]– Redundancy version [3 bits]– New Data Indicator [1 bit]
• UE identity [16 implicit bits]

timing relation between HS-SCCH andHS-PDSCH
Legend Technologies Co. 20
uplink HS-DSCH
• The uplink HS-DSCH-related physical-layer signaling consists of:– Acknowledgements for hybrid ARQ– Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), i.e., information
reflecting the instantaneous downlink radio-channel conditions to assist the Node B in the transport-format selection (fast link adaptation) and the scheduling
Legend Technologies Co. 21
information carried on HS-DPCCH
• HS-DPCCH carries ACK/NAK and CQI from UE to RBS– one HS-DPCCH for each user in the cell
• ACK/NAK– single bit, repetition coded to 10 bits (1 slot)
• CQI (Channel Quality Indicator)– 5 bits coded to 20 bits (2 slots)– channel quality measurements based on CPICH– reporting rate is configurable through RRC/NBAP signaling
• ACK/NAK and CQI can be repeated in multiple subframes– controlled by RRC/NBAP signaling– useful in soft handover scenarios
Legend Technologies Co. 22
Channel Quality Indicator.
• Channel quality knowledge at UE needed in the RBS– Link adaptation– Scheduling– Power control of HS-SCCH
• CQI– UE measures and reports a recommended transport format to
the RBS– Accounts for channel conditions and UE receiver
performance
Legend Technologies Co. 23
HS-DPCCH power control.
• Important to secure good success rate of ACK/NAK and CQI transmission while keeping UL interference under control
• ACK, NAK, CQI power offsets with relation to DPCCH set by RRC signaling
• Two independent mechanisms:1. Two sets of power offsets (ACK, NAK and CQI) are configured per cell in RNC
• RNC reconfigures UE depending on number of RBS involved• Configuration changed at cell change and possibly after active set
update
2. RBS initiates update of ACK/NAK and CQI feedback cycles based on CQI detection performance
Legend Technologies Co. 24
Channel structure
• Code multiplexed with DPDCH and DPCCH
– timing relative to downlink HS-PDSCH, not uplink DPCCH/DPDCH
– unused slots are DTX:ed
– transmission of ACK/NAK and CQI transmission independent of each other
Legend Technologies Co. 25
Overall Timing Relation.
Legend Technologies Co. 26
Hybrid ARQ Processes.
• One HARQ entity per user• Each HARQ entity consist of up to 8 HARQ processes
– multiple HARQ processes allows continuous transmission to a single user– separate reordering function needed to support in-order delivery
• (P2 correctly received before P1 in figure below)
Legend Technologies Co. 27
A-DCH, ASSOCIATED DEDICATED CHANNEL
• One A-DCH per HSDPA enabled terminal in the cell• A-DCH is mapped on physical channels DPDCH and
DPCCH• A-DCH DL
– 3.4 kbps SRB (control signalling: RRC & NAS)
• A-DCH UL– 384 kbps (or 64 kbps) DCH– 3.4 kbps SRB (control signalling: RRC & NAS)– UL data transmission

• Parameter: numOfHspdschCodes– Increasing: Lock cell, release traffic– Decrease: No effect on ongoing traffic
