2 Overview of HSUPA TTI Selection

2 Overview of HSUPA TTI Selection

The TTI for a service over HSUPA can be 2 ms or 10 ms. When the TTI is 2 ms, higher throughput can be achieved. When the TTI is 10 ms, wider coverage can be achieved. The HSUPA TTI selection feature can change the TTI from 2 ms to 10 ms for wider coverage or from 10 ms to 2 ms for higher throughput. In this way, call drops are reduced and the quality of service (QoS) is ensured. The HSUPA TTI selection feature provides the following functions:

Sets the TTI according to a configured TTI selection strategy when an HSUPA service is set up or reconfigured. For details, see section 3.1 "TTI Selection During Service Setup or Reconfiguration." Adjusts the TTI for the HSUPA service based on the coverage situation:
Adjusts Adjusts

the TTI to 10 ms for wider coverage when the UE is on the edge of the cell.

the TTI to 2 ms for higher throughput when the UE is in the center of the cell. Note that the TTI of a voice service cannot be adjusted from 10 ms to 2 ms.

For details, see section 3.2 "Dynamic TTI Adjustment."

3.1 TTI Selection During Service Setup or Reconfiguration
The TTI for a service over HSUPA can be set to 2 ms or 10 ms. When the service is set up or reconfigured, the RNC determines the TTI according to the rules listed in Table 3-1. Table 3-1 TTI selection during service setup or reconfiguration Service Type CS voice service TTI Setting The TTI is set to 2 ms if all the following conditions are met:

Both the UE and the NodeB support the 2 ms TTI. The MAP_HSUPA_TTI_2MS_SWITCH subparameter of the MapSwitch parameter is set to ON. The CSVoiceHsupaTti parameter is set to EDCH_TTI_2ms.

If one of the conditions is not met, the TTI is set to 10 ms. PS voice service The TTI is set to 2 ms if all the following conditions are met:

Both the UE and the NodeB support the 2 ms TTI. The MAP_HSUPA_TTI_2MS_SWITCH subparameter of the MapSwitch parameter is set to ON. The VoipHsupaTti parameter is set to EDCH_TTI_2ms.

If one of the conditions is not met, the TTI is set to 10 ms. PS streaming service The TTI is set to 2 ms if all the following conditions are met:

Both the UE and the NodeB support the 2 ms TTI. The MAP_HSUPA_TTI_2MS_SWITCH subparameter of the MapSwitch parameter is set to ON. The maximum bit rate (MBR) is higher than or equal to the value of StreamHsupa2msTtiRateThs.

If one of the conditions is not met, the TTI is set to 10 ms. PS BE service (interactive or background service) The TTI is set to 2 ms if all the following conditions are met:

Both the UE and the NodeB support the 2 ms TTI. The MAP_HSUPA_TTI_2MS_SWITCH subparameter of the MapSwitch parameter is set to ON. The cell is not congested. The MBR is higher than or equal to the value of BeHsupa2msTtiRateThs.

If one of the conditions is not met, the TTI is set to 10 ms.

Each service in a service combination is assigned a TTI during service setup or reconfiguration. The service combination is assigned the 2 ms TTI as long as one service in the combination is assigned the 2 ms TTI. Otherwise, the service combination is assigned the 10 ms TTI.

3.2 Dynamic TTI Adjustment

3.2.1 Overview
Dynamic TTI adjustment is applicable to a single voice service, single BE service, or service combination that includes the voice service or BE service over HSUPA. Table 3-2 describes the dynamic TTI adjustment switches. Table 3-2 Dynamic TTI adjustment switches Parameter DraSwitch Switch Description

DRA_VOICE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH This is a dynamic TTI adjustment switch for the voice service over HSUPA. When it is set to ON, the TTI can be adjusted from 2 ms to 10 ms. For details, see section 3.2.2 "Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Single Voice Service over HSUPA." This switch is set to OFF by default. DRA_BASE_COVER_BE_TTI_REC This is a coverage-based dynamic TTI adjustment FG_SWITCH switch for the BE service over HSUPA. When it is set to ON, the TTI can be adjusted from 2 ms to 10 ms or from 10 ms to 2 ms. For details, see section 3.2.3 "Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Single BE Service over HSUPA." This switch is set to OFF by default. DRA_BASE_COVER_BE_TTI_L2_O This switch specifies whether the function of PT_SWITCH coverage-based dynamic TTI adjustment for the BE service over HSUPA is effective for services over uplink enhanced L2. By default, this adjustment function is ineffective for services over uplink enhanced L2.

3.2.2 Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Single Voice Service over HSUPA
This section describes dynamic TTI adjustment from 2 ms to 10 ms for a single voice service over HSUPA. RAN12.0 does not support dynamic TTI adjustment from 10 ms to 2 ms for the voice service. The purpose of the adjustment from 2 ms to 10 ms is to cover UEs on the edge of the cell and to reduce call drops. For the UE with 2ms TTI, if the uplink transmit power is insufficient for a period, the RNC considers that the UE is in the poor coverage and will adjust the TTI of UE to 10ms.

3.2.3 Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Single BE Service over HSUPA

This section involves the feature WRFD-010690 TTI Switch for BE Services Based on Coverage. It describes dynamic TTI adjustment based on coverage for a single BE service over HSUPA. The TTI is adjusted from 2 ms to 10 ms in the case of poor coverage. The TTI is adjusted from 10 ms to 2 ms in the case of good coverage and huge traffic volume. The RNC monitors the uplink transmit power and the traffic volume of UE:

WCDMA RAN HSUPA TTI Selection

3 Technical Description

For the UE with 2ms TTI, If the uplink transmit power is insufficient and the traffic volume is relatively low for a period, the RNC adjusts the TTI of UE to 10ms. For the UE with 10ms TTI, if the uplink transmit power is sufficient and the traffic volume is relatively high for a period, the RNC adjusts the TTI of UE to 2ms.

Note that the RNC can perform dynamic TTI adjustment for a single BE service only when the HSUPA DCCC function is disabled or ineffective. For detail information about HSUPA DCCC, see the State Transition Feature Parameter Description.

3.2.4 Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Service Combination over HSUPA

The RNC uses the dynamic TTI adjustment strategies listed in Table 3-3 for a service combination over HSUPA. Table 3-3 Dynamic TTI adjustment strategies for a service combination over HSUPA Combination Type BE service included and voice service excluded Dynamic TTI Adjustment Strategy The decision on dynamic TTI adjustment is made for each individual BE service. The conditions on which the decision is based are the same as those for a single BE service. The dynamic TTI adjustment strategy is as follows:

The TTI of the service combination is adjusted from 2 ms to 10 ms only when all the BE services meet the triggering conditions. The TTI of the service combination is adjusted from 10 ms to 2 ms as long as one BE service meets the triggering conditions.

Voice service included The dynamic TTI adjustment strategy is as follows:

Dynamic TTI adjustment can be performed on the basis of the voice service if the dynamic TTI adjustment switch for the voice service over HSUPA is set to ON. However, when the service combination includes the BE service and the HSUPA DCCC function is enabled, dynamic TTI adjustment is not performed even if the switch mentioned previously is set to ON.

Dynamic TTI adjustment is not performed if the dynamic TTI adjustment switch for the voice service over HSUPA is set to OFF.

Others

Dynamic TTI adjustment is not performed.
