HSDPA Motivation

Reasons to deploy HSDPA:

-Saturated voice communication market
-Growing demand and user expectation for the data services like
broadband internet access, streaming, gaming, etc.
-Competing High Speed wireless technologies
-WLAN
-WiMAX
-1xEvDo in CDMA 2000
Requirements:
-Short set-up and transfer delays
-High system capacity
-High peak data rates
-Low mobility (user speed max 3km/h)
-Low data transfer costs


HS-DSCH High-Speed Downlink Shared
Channel: transport channel carries user data
HS-PDSCH- High Speed Physical Downlink
Shared Channel: Physical downlink channel
carries user data, layer2 overheads bits over air
interface.
HS-SCCH- High-Speed Shared Control
Channel: physical control channel carries
control information regarding how to decode
the information on HS-PDSCH and which UE
shall decode it.
HS-DPCCH High Speed Dedicated Physical
Control Channel: Physical Uplink channel for
sending ACK/NACK reports and channel
quality indicator.

Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC)

Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (H-ARQ)

Fast transmission/retransmission scheduling


R99 RAB: fixed amount of Turbo bits applied to
correct errors
FER bits: Forward Error Correction
HSDPA: number of FER bits adapted to the radio
environment
Adaptation based on the Channel Quality Indicator
(CQI)
CQI is estimated by the UE
UE can benefit from the high data rate due to fewer
FER bits

HSDPA channel supports three modulation
schemes:
QPSK: One modulation symbol represents 2 bits
16QAM: One modulation symbol represents 4 bits
64QAM: One modulation symbol represents 6 bits
Modulation scheme selected based on CQI reported
by UE
16/64QAM support is optional
Configurable on RBS level

HS DL shared channel: new TrCH in HSDPA
- cell radio resources are dynamically shared between
users
- Resources to be shared: codes & power

Offers efficient code and power utilization
Reduces the risk for code-limited capacity

Maximum 15 codes (SF16) used for shared DL channel

The number of codes used per user depend on reported
CQI
Codes allocated to user only when possible to be used

15 x SF16 => 15(3.84X10
