I-HSPA End-user Benefits

Cheap affordable broadband wireless solution with no strings attached
Data charging is (or could be at least) flat all you can eat

Works everywhere (compared with WLAN and WiMAX) Simple authentication VoIP supported as part of BWA offering
Cell change time shall be less than 100 ms

Latency improvements, RTT less than 25 ms

Gaming: latency shall be less than 40 ms Email: the actual bit rate does not only effect the user experience, but latency is important as well Web browsing: the shorter the better Channel setup time improved from 1-1.5s to 120ms

VoIP Over HSPA

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. +

HSDPA R5 + HSUPA R6 VoIP can provide at least similar voice capacity as WCDMA R99 CS voice HSDPA R6 + HSUPA R7 VoIP can provide up to 2x higher voice capacity than CS voice Why is VoIP + IP headers more efficient than the CS voice without IP headers?
Lower network latency in HSPA allows to use more time in the air interface to optimize performance, e.g., packing 3 VoIP packets into single block and using Turbo code. Short frame size and fast L1 retransmissions with HARQ allow to operate with higher BLER while still maintaining the delay. Higher BLER leads to lower required power level. 2-antenna terminal is assumed for HSDPA R6. It could also be used for WCDMA CS voice downlink. Fractional DPCH is used for HSDPA R6 reducing L1 control overhead. F-DPCH is possible because RRC signaling is carried on HSPA. Uplink gating is used for HSUPA R7 reducing L1 control overhead. Gating is possible due to shorter frame size. HSDPA fast scheduling enables multi-user diversity. No code limitation in HSPA. CS voice hard limit is 128 minus SHO overhead = approx 90 users max. IP header compression has been assumed for HSPA pushing the IP header size down to a few bytes.

Note 1: These techniques cannot be easily applied to CS voice (except 2-antenna terminals), otherwise, the solution would end up similar to the current HSDPA/HSUPA Note 2: These capacity figures assume that RAN can identify VoIP connection with QoS parameters for admission control and for discard timer.

I-HSPA summary
