Key Features of HSDPA (I)
Shared Channel transmission:
Channelization codes and transmission power in a cell
are dynamically shared between users.
A new transport channel High Speed Downlink Shared
Channel (HS-DSCH) is introduced.
Adaptive modulation and coding (AMC):
Adaptation of transmission parameters to radio
conditions and terminal capability
Modulation schemes:
16-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation): UE capability
QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying): mandatory for UE
HSDPA modulation, QPSK + 16 QAM

Technology Overview
Key Features of HSDPA (II)
Hybrid automatic-repeat-request (HARQ)
Improving robustness against link adaptation errors
UE rapidly requests retransmissions of erroneously receveived data
UE can combine information from the original transmission with that of
later retransmissions (Soft Combining)
Fast scheduling in the Node B instead of RNC
Moving scheduling and processing of retransmissions closer to air
interface
New MAC-hs (Medium Access Control high speed) protocol entity in
the Node B
Short transmission time interval of 2ms
Accelerating packet scheduling for transmission

Capacity aspects:
How does HSDPA increase the capacity per user?
1.) Possibility of code combination
2.) Introduction of 16-QAM modulation scheme

Technology Overview
Channel Structure
The HS-DSCH is associated with one downlink Dedicated Physical Channel (DPCH), and one or several
High Speed Shared Control Channels (HS-SCCH).
The number of HS-SCCHs in a HS-SCCH set as seen from the UE can range from a minimum of 1 to a
maximum of 4 HS-SCCHs.

HS-DSCH
All the HS-DSCH data I
receive is incorrect!
Send me a NACK, maybe
I can do something for
you and send the same
packet again.
Maybe I will even send you a
new redundancy version.
This could increase the
probability that you can
decode the data.

HS-DPCCH Usage CQI

Timing Relations for UL HS-DPCCH
m = (TTX_diff /256 ) + 101
TTX_diff is the difference in chips (TTX_diff =0, 256, ....., 38144) between the transmit timing of the
start of the related HS-PDSCH and the transmit timing of the start of the related downlink DPCH frame
m therefore takes one of a set of five possible values according to the 5 possible transmission timings
of HS-DSCH sub-frame relative to the DPCH frame boundary.

Spreaded signals are added in a multi-user scenario,
e.g. downlink signal from node B.
This will engender an impact on the amplitude of
the sum signal.
Problem:
If the input signal from each user DPCH will
have the same content, like it is in the period
of e.g. the Pilot bits -> The Crest Factor will
rise!
Solution:
Node B will set a timing T
DPCH
for each
Downlink DPCH individually to randomize the signal behaviour

Data Rates
10 or 14 Mbps?
Data Rates
How are 14.4 Mbps derived?
1 slot HS-PDSCH (equivalent to 10 ms / 15 = 666.7 us) using 16 QAM contains 640 bits
Maximum 15 HS-PDSCH codes can be allocated to a UE
15 HS-PDSCHs therefore result in a gross bit rate of
15* 640 bits / 666.7 us = 14.4 Mbps
This does not include any channel
coding and is therefore a rather
theoretical value
Tslot = 2560 chips

Protocol Definition
ARQ / Automatic Repeat Request:
Receiver detects errors and requests retransmissions of erroneous packets
HARQ / Hybrid-ARQ:
Coding is applied to transmission packets
Receiver does not delete received symbols when decoding fails
but combines the new transmission with the old one in the buffer

Identical retransmission (Chase Combining)
Non-identical retransmission (Incremental Redundancy)

Motivation
Limitations of Adaptive Modulation and Coding:
- accuracy of CQI reporting
- effect of delay
HARQ can be understood as an implicit link adaptation technique:
- Does not rely on explicit C/I or similar measurements
- Link layer acknowledgements are used for re-transmission decisions
- Autonomously adapts to the instantaneous channel conditions
- Insensitive to measurement error and delay
AMC provides the coarse data rate selection.
H-ARQ provides for fine data rate adjustment based
on channel conditions.

If a reset of the MAC-hs entity is requested by upper layers, the UE shall:
flush soft buffer for all configured HARQ processes;
stop all active re-ordering release timer (T1), set all timer T1 to their initial value;
start TSN with value 0 for the next transmission on every HARQ process;
initialise the variables RcvWindow_UpperEdge and next_expected_TSN to their

disassemble all MAC-hs PDUs in the re-ordering buffer and deliver all MAC-d

flush the re-ordering buffer.

Terminology:
Serving HS-DSCH radio link: The radio link that the HS-PDSCH physical channel(s)
allocated to the UE belongs to.
Serving HS-DSCH cell: The cell associated with the UTRAN access point performing
transmission and reception of the serving HS-DSCH radio link for a given UE. The
serving HS-DSCH cell is always part of the current active set of the UE.
Serving HS-DSCH Node B: A role a Node B may take with respect to a UE having
one or several HS-PDSCHs allocated. The serving HS-DSCH Node B is the Node B
controlling the serving HS-DSCH cell.
Procedures:
Mobility for HSDPA is based on existing (Release 99) RRC handover procedures.
