1 WRFD-010610 HSDPA Introduction Package


Availability
This feature is available from RAN5.0.
This feature is introduced in 3GPP R5.
Summary
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is one of the important features defined in
3GPP specifications. HSDPA can greatly increase the peak rate per user, shorten the round trip
delay, and improve the system capacity. This feature package provides the basic functions of
HSDPA to meet the requirements for test or trial operations of HSDPA services.
Benefits
HSDPA improves the performance of the UMTS network in the following aspects:
Providing high rate throughput
Shorter round trip time
Higher system capacity
Description
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is an important feature of 3GPP Release 5.
The maximum downlink throughput is achieved by sharing CE resources, power resources,
and code resources with new physical channels and downlink shared transport channel for
HSDPA. The physical channels are HS-SCCH, HS-PDSCH, and HS-DPCCH, and the
transport channel is HS-DSCH. HD-PDSCH (SF = 16) will utilize the remaining TX power
and codes in a cell, which enables the resource to be dynamically shared among users.
Some key functions are also used in HSDPA for maximizing resource utilization, including 2
ms TTI, hybrid ARQ with soft combining (HARQ), Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC),
and fast scheduling algorithm.

The application of 2 ms TTI greatly reduces the round trip time. At the same time, some
functions are moved down to the Node B that also contributes to reducing the round trip time.
When compared with RLC re-transmission, HARQ provides a more highly efficient
re-transmission mechanism. The UE can request for retransmission of only erroneously
received data immediately and combine the retransmission data with original transmission
data through soft combining.
AMC enables the system to decide the Transport Block (TB) size and the modulation mode
according to estimated channel condition indicated by the UE. When the UE is in favorable
radio environment, the transmission can adopt 16 QAM modulation mode and large transport
blocks to increase the capacity and data rate.
The fast scheduling algorithm includes Max C/I, Round Robin, Proportional Fair (PF), and
Enhanced Proportional Fair (EPF). EPF is based on the PF algorithm which can provide users
with Guaranteed Bit Rate service for I/B services.
HSDPA is mainly used for packet services and can bear the interactive, background, and
streaming services. The HSDPA traffic can use a dedicated carrier or a shared carrier with
R99. The system should be capable of handling both cases.
The system should consider the mobility management of the HSDPA services, such as the
intra-RNC handover, inter-RNC handover, and soft handover for the DCH.
Enhancement
In RAN5.1, RAN6.0, and RAN10.0, HSDPA Introduction Package is enhanced. For details,
see the enhancements of the sub-features in the HSDPA Introduction Package.
Dependency
Dependency on Node B hardware
NDLP and NBBI do not support this feature.
Dependency on other RAN software functions
The HSDPA feature provides a number of methods to increase system throughput. It has to
co-ordinate with other features, such as admission control, load control, and mobility
management.
Dependency on other NEs
The UE should have the HSDPA capability.
