Whats HSUPA
The HSUPA feature is in fact a new uplink transport
channelE-DCH that brought some of the same features to
the uplink as the HSDPA
HSUPA main technique
L1 HARQ
Fast NodeB based scheduling
Shorter TTI
Higher SF
Multiple code transmission

E-DCH scheduling
Used for schedule E-DCH radio resource between different UE
E-DCH control
Used for receive schedule requirement and send schedule
command;
De-multiplexing
De-multiplex MAC-e PDU and send MAC-es PDU to related MAD-
d flow
HARQ:
One HARQ entity can support multiple SAW HARQ process, each
process are used to generate ACK/NACK which are used to
indicate if E-DCH data are received correctly.

E-DCH
E-DCH Enhanced Dedicated Channel
E-DCH could support both 2 ms and 10 ms.
E-DCH could support multiple codes transmission.
E-DCH and DCH use independent CCTRCH
When DCH and E-DCH concurrent the MBR of UL DCH is
64 Kbps.

E-AGCH
E-AGCH used for E-DCH absolute grant, each HSUPA
user has only one E-AGCH channel
SF256AG are used to provide UE UL resource
limitation
E-AGCH only transmit in serving cell.

E-RGCH
Relative Grant can be transmitted in 3,12,or 15 continuous TS.




In serving E-DCH RLS RG could be +10 or -1;
In no serving E-DCH RLS RG could be 0 or -1.
3TS Cell belong to Serving E-DCH RLS 2ms
12 TS Cell belong to Serving E-DCH RLS 10 ms
15 TS
Cell belong to no Serving E-DCH RLS
E-HICH
E-HICH used to transmit E-DCH HARQ ACK/NACK,
SF=128
E-HICH used the same DL OVSF code with E-RGCH, The
High layer signaling will separate them.
The HARQ ACK/NACK indication is transmitted in 3 or 12
continuous TS, 3TS for 2ms TTI, 12 TS for 10ms TTI.

E-HICH transmition
If the E-HICH is coming from the radio link set contained in
the serving E-DCH radio link (transmitted from the base
station that has the serving E-DCH cell),then both ACKs
and NACKs are transmitted. The E-HICHs transmitted by
NodeBs that do not contain the serving E-DCH cell only
transmit ACKs.If such a cell does not receive the E-
DPDCH TTI correctly,then it does nothing.The UE will
continue retransmitting until at least one cell responds with
an ACK
E-DPDCH/E-DPCCH
E-DPDCH used to transmit E-DCHSF2256
E-DPCCH used to transmit E-DCH relative control info (E-
TFCI,RSN,Happy Bit)SF=256
E-TFCI,the E-DCH transport format combination indicator of 7bits
indicating the transport format being transmitted simultaneously on E-
DPDCHs.
RSN,there transmission sequence number of 2bits informing the HARQ
sequence number of the transport block currently being sent on E-
DPDCHs.The initial transmission of a transport block is sent with
RSN=0,the rst with RSN=1,the Second with RSN=2,and all subsequent
transmissions with RSN=3.
Happybit is1bit only.It indicates whether the UE is content with the
current data rate or relative power allowed to be used for E-DPDCHs or
whether it could use higher power allocation.
E-DPDCH slot format
E-DPCCH slot format







E-TFCI: the transmission format combination indicator of
the E-DCH channel (7bit)
RSN: HARQ retransmission sequence number (2bit)
Happy Bit: scheduling feedback bit from the UE (1bit)

HSUPA scheduling
HSUPA sheduling is done by 3 physical channel, E-AGCH,
E-RGCH and happy bits in E-DPDCH.
There is also SI IE in MAC-e header of E-DPDCH,which
contained optional detailed message used for NodeB
sheduler. Only when data volume in buffer increased or
counter expired triggered SI transmission, and sheduled
HSUPA cell received datagram correctly which means SI
could be used.
HARQ
SAW HARQ
HARQ process number is related to TTI number, 2ms TTI
has 8 process10ms TTI has 4 processFor UE
scheduling and un-scheduling we could define specific
process to transmit.

HARQ meassage
ACK/NACK IE
This IE is tranmited in DL E-HICH to notify if trasport
block is received correctly.
RSN
This IE is transmitted in E-DPDCH to notify HARQ
sequence number of transport block on E-DPDCH.
