Why WCDMA/HSPA?

• Applications:• E-mail• Video telephony• Web browsing• Content sharing, e.g. Picture/video upload.

• Devices (UE):• Broadband modem• Mobile phones with

• Large color screen• Gbyte memories

• HSPA Targets:• Adapt to fast variations in radio conditions• Reduced delays• Improved High-Bitrate Availability• Improved Capacity

One slot, 2/3ms

One radio frame, 10 ms

One subframe, 2ms

Time slot is the shortest repetitive period

Radio frame is the shortest transmission duration


HSDPA Basic Principles

Shared Channel TransmissionDynamically shared in time & code

Higher-order Modulation16QAM in complement to QPSK for

higher peak bit rates

2 ms

Short TTI (2 ms)Reduced latency

Fast Hybrid ARQ with Soft Combining

Reduced round trip delay

Fast Radio Channel Dependent Scheduling

HSUPA Basic Principles

Fast Retransmissions Roundtrip time ~2 ms possible Soft combination of multiple attempts

Fast Radio-Dependent Scheduling 2 ms time basis

Short TTI (2 ms) Reduced latency

= E-DCH


Shared Channel Transmission

A set of radio resources dynamically shared among multiple users, in time and code domain Efficient code utilization

Fast Channel-dependent Scheduling

Scheduling = which UE to transmit to at a given time instant and at what rate

Basic idea: transmit at fading peaks May lead to large variations in data rate between users Tradeoff: fairness vs cell throughput

Fast Link Adaptation

Adjust transmission parameters to match instantaneous channel conditions

HS-DSCH: Rate control (constant power) Adaptive coding Adaptive modulation (QPSK or 16QAM) Adapt on 2 ms TTI basis fast

Release 99: Power control (constant rate)

Good channelconditions

less power

Bad channelconditions

more power

power control (HSUPA E-DCH)

Good channelconditions

high data rate

Bad channelconditions

low data rate

rate adaptation (HSDPA HS-DSCH)


Higher Order Modulation

16QAM may be used as a complement to QPSK 16QAM allows for twice the peak data rate compared to QPSK

16QAM

2 bits/symbol 4 bits/symbol

QPSK

Release 99: only QPSK


Short 2 ms TTI

Reduced air-interface delay Improved end-user performance
