Hence, that means, in a live network where resources of cell are shared between many users, and Interference from other cells also plays
its part, the Ec/No will always give a FALSE value for an HSDPA user. And it will show a very poor value
What you should be asking yourself:
What happens when more users join in to share the REMNANT power?
Will Ec/No improve or degrade further with addition of DCH or HS user?
16. So, we establish that,
The CPICH Ec/No measurements collected during HSDPA Transmission could mask the true radio conditions
To avoid this, we have to monitor the Ec/No in IDLE mode only, which is a true reflection of Interference and coverage problems
HSDPA session adds to the overall load of the cell which is taken into consideration during computing Ec/No. As calculations above proved
that this does not, necessarily, depict the TRUE radio Conditions.
So, what is the ALTERNATIVE to Ec/No in HS session?
Its called Channel Quality Indication
CQI
Why CQI
17. What is CQI
HSDPA utilizes link adaptation techniques to substitute power-control and variable spreading factor
The HS-DSCH link-adaptation algorithm at the Node-B is very dynamic, and adjusts the transmit bit rate on the HS-DSCH every 2-ms TTI.
The UE periodically sends a CQI to the serving HS-DSCH cell on the uplink high-speed dedicated physical control channel (HS-DPCCH)
The CQI tells the NodeB scheduler, the data rate the UE expects to be able to receive at a given point in time.
NOTE: The HSDPA system defines a different CQI mapping table for different categories of UEs. The category is determined according to
the capability of UE
In addition to CQI, UE also sends HARQ on HS-DPCCH
18. Below figure shows the steps how CQI helps in determining the initial throughput that a UE terminal demands from the system
STEPS
SINRis used to evaluate the channel quality as observed by the receiver, where a standard single antenna Rake is used because it is the
most common in the SISO HSDPA terminals.
CQI value for a given SINR is done via a linear mapping, as shown in figure

HSDPA CQI involvement
19. HSDPA CQI involvement
STEPS
The CQI values are used by the link adaptation algorithm at the Node-B. Every CQI value reported corresponds to the Transport Block Size
(TBS) that can be granted on a particular Modulation type and Number of codes
Example of a UE category 10 CQI values from 0 to 30 are shown in the figure. Other UE categories are shown in the following slide
The CQI is further defined as the TBS that can be supported with a BLER no greater than 10% 20. STEPS
While CQI is sending UEs requirement to the system in UL, there is BLER calculation going on and UL HARQ (Hybrid Auto Repeat
Request) mechanism is helping in maintaining the BLER to below 10%.
So the system (NodeB) is essentially calculating the Data Rate to be scheduled to the user based on CQI reports and BLER which it
receives from the UE
So DATA RATE (bps) = TBS (bits)/ TTI (sec) * (1-BLER)
