▪ Establish a more spectral efficient way of using DL resources providing data rates beyond 2 Mbit/s
▪ Optimize interactive & background traffic, support streaming service
▪ Design for indoor & urban environment, but not restricted
▪ Techniques compatible with advanced antenna and receivers
❑ Standardization started in June 2000
▪ Broad forum of companies

HSDPA Introduction
❑HSDPA was standardised as 3GPP release 5
❑ The HSDPA peak data rate available in the terminals is initially 1.8Mbps and will
❑ increase to 3.6 and 7.2 Mbps during 2006 and 2007, and potentially beyond 10Mbps.
❑ Current WCDMA network can be upgraded to support HSDPA
❑HSDPA will▪ Increase peak data rates upto 14Mbps
▪ Reduce the round trip delay
▪ Will increase the UTRAN network capacity

Motivation: Reduced Latency

17
HSDPA what comes in? & What goes out?
❑ Two fundamental features of WCDMA are disabled:
▪ Variable SF
▪ Fast Power Control
❑ These two features are replaced by
▪ Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC)
▪ Fast retransmission strategy (HARQ)
▪ Scheduling Algorithm

Important changes with HSDPA
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
19
New Channels Introduced in HSDPA (R5) - 1
❑HS-DSCH (High Speed Down link Shared Channel)▪ TO support the HS-DSCH Operation
▪ Two Control Channels are added
❑ HS-SCCH (High Speed Shared Control Channel)
▪ DL channel
❑ HS- DPCCH (High Speed Dedicated Physical
Control Channel)
▪ UL Channel

New Channels Introduced in HSDPA (R5) - 2
HSDPA Basic Principles
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
22
Shared Channel Transmission - 1
❑Dedicated channel▪ User resources
assigned at ”call setup”
▪ Independent of instantaneous traffic situation
❑Shared channel
▪ Dynamic sharing of common rerouce
▪ Adapts to instantaneous traffic situation
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
23
Shared Channel Transmission - 2
❑ Channelization codes at a fixed spreading factor of SF = 16
❑ Up to 15 codes in parallel
❑ OVSF channelization code tree allocated by CRNC
❑ HSDPA codes autonomously managed by NodeB MAC-hs scheduler
❑ Additionally, HS-SCCH codes with SF = 128 (number equal to simult. UE)
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
24
Higher Order Modulation (HOM)
❑ 16QAM may be used as a complement to QPSK
❑ 16QAM allows for twice the peak data rate compared to QPSK
❑ 16QAM more sensitive to interference▪ Higher data rate in good radio channel conditions (high C/I,
Little or no dispersion, Low speed)
– e.g. Close to cell site & Micro/Indoor cells

25
Short 2ms TTI
❑ Reduced round trip delay on the air interface
❑ Enables HSDPA features to operate at 500 times per second!▪ Fast Link Adaptation
▪ Fast Radio Channel dependent Scheduling
▪ Fast hybrid ARQ with soft combining
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
26
Fast HARQ with Soft Combining - 1
❑ Fast retransmissions of erroneous packets processed in the NodeB▪ Reduced round trip delay on the air interface
❑ Soft combining of multiple transmission attempts in the UE▪ Improved performance
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
27
Fast HARQ with Soft Combining - 2
❑ Incremental redundancy
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
28
Fast Link Adaptation - 1
❑ Adjust transmission parameters to match instantaneous radio channel conditions▪ Path loss and shadowing
▪ Interference variations
▪ Fast multipath fading
❑HSDSCH is rate controlled▪ Encoding rate, number of channelization codes &
modulation type adapted based on available power
▪ Adaptation on 2 ms TTI basis = 500 times/sec!
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
29
Fast Link Adaptation – 2HSDSCH Power Utilization
❑ No need for extra spectrum/carrier
❑ Voice and data on same carrier
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
30
Fast Channel dependent Scheduling - 1
❑ Scheduling = which UE to transmit to at a given time instant
❑ Basic idea:▪ Transmit to users based on radio channel quality, targeting fading
peaks
▪ May lead to large variations in data rate between users
▪ Tradeoff: fairness vs. cell throughput
Confidential – Restricted Distribution© eXplanoTech Ltd., Asset Id. 100210034100
31
Fast Channel dependent Scheduling - 2
❑ Round Robin (RR)
▪ Cyclically assign the channel to users without taking channel conditions into account
▪ Simple but poor performance
❑ Max C/I
▪ Assign the channel to the user with the best channel quality
▪ High system throughput but not fair
❑ Proportional Fair (PF)
▪ Assign the channel to the user with the best relative channel quality
▪ High throughput, fair

❑ UE requests resources (buffer status is reported)
❑NodeB: resource allocation per UE
❑ UE: makes use of allocated resources

HARQ with Soft Combining
❑HSUPA has HARQ processes just like HSDPA, but in opposite direction - UE sends, Node B ACKs/NACKs
❑ 4 HARQ processes for 10 ms TTI, 8 for 2 ms TTI
❑ Stop/wait operation -fixed round trip time (40 ms or 16 ms)
