Compressed mode for HSDPA

HSDPA compressed mode can be activated for an UE if all of the following conditions are true: The HSDPA Inter-Frequency Handover feature is enabled for the RNC. HSDPA mobility is enabled with RNC configuration parameter HSDPAMobility. DCH compressed mode is enabled with the RNC-wide configuration parameter CMmasterSwitch. HSDPA compressed mode in the serving cell is enabled. Handover control checks whether these conditions are true when HSDPA compressed mode is started for the first time in an UE after coming to CELL_DCH state. The result of this check remains effective for the UE as long as it stays in CELL_DCH state despite of possible changes in licence or parameters. For example if the state information of the licence 'HSDPA inter-frequency handover' changes from 'on' to 'off' or 'config' while HSDPA compressed mode is already established for an individual UE, compressed mode is not deactivated immediately but based on the next normal deactivation. HSDPA compressed mode will remain available for that UE as long as it stays in CELL_DCH state. When HSDPA is configured in the UE, compressed mode is configured depending on UE measurement capability requirements. The RNC selects the compressed mode method for the DPCH as described below. The method selection algorithm cannot be controlled by any parameter: downlink compressed mode method Halving the spreading factor method is used for the DPCH when HS-DSCH is configured. The same method applies regardless of whether AMR services exist or not. uplink compressed mode method Higher layer scheduling compressed mode method is used when HS-DSCH/DCH (DL/UL) is configured, the total sum bit rate of all uplink NRT DCHs is greater than 128 kbps with or without AMR, and no RT PS DCH is configured. Halving the spreading factor method is used when HS-DSCH/DCH is configured, the total sum bit rate of all uplink NRT DCHs is less than or equal to 128 kbps with or without AMR, and no RT PS DCH is configured. If compressed mode is triggered in a situation when minimum uplink SF=4 and RT PS DCH is configured for the RRC connection, all NRT DCHs are released and immediately after that halving the spreading factor method is used in both uplink and downlink. Otherwise, halving the spreading factor method is used when HS-DSCH/DCH is configured. Compressed mode pattern for HSDPA equal in principle with the ones that are used for DCH. The following HSDPA specific parameters need to be specified: TGPL for HSDPA and IF measurement (TGPLHSDPAInterFreq) parameter defines the length of the transmission gap pattern for WCDMA inter-frequency measurement in case of HSDPA compressed mode with single frame gap. TGPL for AMR and HSDPA and IF measurement (TGPLAMRHSDPAInterFreq) parameter defines the length of the transmission gap pattern for WCDMA inter-frequency measurement in case of AMR and HSDPA compressed mode with single frame gap. A single frame method is used in HSDPA compressed mode. Gap position single frame (GapPositionSingleFrame) parameter determines the starting slot number of the transmission gap inside a frame in case of single frame compressed mode. Recovery Period Power in UL Compressed Mode (UpLinkRecoveryPeriodPowerMode) parameter defines the mode of the uplink power control algorithm and the uplink power step size after each transmission gap (within the compressed frames) during the recovery period. The recovery period length is the minimum value of the transmission gap length and 7 slots. Initial transmit power in uplink compressed mode (UpLinkInitialTransmitPowerMode) The uplink DPCCH power for the first slot after the transmission gap is calculated by using the latest transmitted uplink DPCCH power value and PILOT. This parameter determines whether the TPC command sent

in response to the last pilot bits transmitted prior to the transmission gap is applied to uplink DPCCH power calculation. Alternative scrambling code can be used for DPCH only. Compressed Mode: Alternative scrambling code (AltScramblingCodeCM) parameter defines whether the alternative scrambling code is allowed to be used in case of compressed mode method halving the spreading factor. Note: If there are NBxxx's with CHC48 plug in unit configuration connected to the RNC, then configured values of the all TGPL* parameters are equal. While compressed mode is active, HSDPA (HS-DSCH/DCH) can be allocated, released or reconfigured as follows: Allocation can be triggered based on capacity requests or because of channel type switch criteria. Release or reconfiguration as DCH/DCH x/x kbps configuration is allowed because of any reason. During the allocation, release or reconfiguration, compressed mode is modified based on corresponding DCH compressed mode parameters. Compressed mode is stopped if the release of the HSDPA results in an RRC connection ends with an SRB only, that is DCH/DCH 0/0 kbps configuration. The DCH uplink channel of an HS-DSCH/DCH configuration can be reconfigured while HSPA compressed mode is active. Inter-frequency handover measurements itself continue without changes when compressed mode changes from HSDPA compressed mode to DCH compressed mode or vice versa. HSPA (HS-DSCH/E-DCH) is not allocated while compressed mode is active. PS RABs can be reconfigured during HSDPA compressed mode and the reconfiguration of SPI because of PS RAB reconfiguration is supported.
