Main features :
▪ 2 ms short frame
▪ Link adaptation technologies on the physical layer, such as
▪ Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ)
▪ Adaptive modulation and coding (AMC)
▪ High-order modulation scheme for high spectrum efficiency
▪ Code division and time division for flexible scheduling among Ue (s)
▪ Downlink Enhanced L2
▪ HSDPA Feature 64 QAM
▪ MIMO
▪ DC HSDPA
Benefits:
▪ Increase the downlink peak data rate and improve the service delay
▪ Increase the downlink throughput
▪ increase downlink capacity : better efficiency for downlink code and power
resources
• After receiving a MAC-hs PDU sent by the NodeB, the UE performs a CRC check and reports
an ACK or NACK on the HS-DPCCH to the NodeB:
• l If the UE reports an ACK, the NodeB transmits the next new data.
• l If the UE reports an NACK, the NodeB retransmits the original data
• For HARQ retransmission between the NodeB and the UE, two combining
strategies are available (CC and IR)
(IR) the retransmitted data may be different from the previously transmitted
data
In each TTI, the TFRC entity of a cell selects one or multiple queues and :
› Determine the amount of data that can be transmitted
› Determine the modulation scheme
› Determine the appropriate power and channelization codes
Benefit :
o Increase the resource utilization and system throughput.
Requirements :
o More HS-PDSCH codes are required within a single TTI.
o More efficient when the Node B has more HS-PDSCH codes available than codes supported by the UE.
Eg: the UE supports 5 codes and the Node B has 10 codes available in a single TTI.
- R7 introduction:
To prevent L2 to become the bottleneck:
After the RLC PDU arrives at the MAC layer, the MAC-ehs in the NodeB determines whether to
segment this PDU will be segmented into a smaller PDUs based on instantaneous radio conditions
Bits/symbols increase
Item Requirement
64QAM depends on downlink enhanced L2, which requires the RNC to support flexible RLC PDU sizes.
RNC The RNC also needs to control the use of 64QAM during RB setup, reconfiguration, and handover.
The DPUb or DPUe board supports the rate of 21 Mbit/s.
The NodeB needs to select a modulation scheme (64QAM or non-64QAM) for every TTI through TFRC
selection.
a) To enable a DBS3800 to support 64QAM, you need to configure at least one enhanced downlink
baseband processing board, namely EBBC or EBBCd board.
NodeB b) The DBS3900 and BTS3900/3900A need to be configured with a WBBPb, WBBPd, or WBBPf
baseband board for supporting the 64QAM feature.
c) The BTS3812E/AE needs to be configured with an EBBI, EBOI, EDLP, or EDLPd board. If an EDLP or
EDLPd board is used, the EULP or EULPd board needs to support 64QAM.
d) The BTS3902E supports the 64QAM feature.
UE The UE needs to support HS-DSCH category 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, or 20.
› A higher gain can be achieved when DL 64QAM is used with other technologies such as DC-HSDPA.
› the TFRC selection (function of the NodeB) determines whether to use downlink 64QAM and notifies the
UE of the result through the HS-SCCH in each TTI.
Restrictions:
• MIMO affects the settings of receive diversity.
Thus, MIMO affects the UEs that do not support
this feature. That is, the data rates of these UEs
are decreased.
High CAPEX : Two Tx channel are used (Two transmitting paths) but no additional antenna is necessary.
• The Common Pilot Channel (CPICH) has to be transmitted from both antennas.

Scheduling Method: The scheduler in Node B determines whether to use 64QAM+MIMO or not according to
Channel Quality and service requirement and UE capability
Second Carrier
Frequency 2
Carrier Configuration:
For DC users, the UL channel is only carried on the primary carrier (anchor)
Both carriers can be used in DL for retaining and initiating services.
Service Distribution:
The CS or PS conversational service is carried on a single carrier.
The BE/streaming service is carried on the DC-HSDPA preferentially.
• DC-HSDPA has best coverage and better throughput in cell edges compared to all other features of HSPA+
due to double frequency resource utilization.
Benefits
› Dual-cell HSDPA (DC-HSDPA) enables users to receive HSDPA data from two inter-
frequency DL cells under the same coverage at the same time
› Compared with the traditional HSPA technology, DC-HSDPA brings the following
gains:
– Reduce the HTTP service delay. As the user peak rate is increased, the
HTTP service response delay can be greatly reduced, and user service
experience can be improved.
– Improving the user experience of cell edge users enhancing the DL
coverage.
– Fully utilizing spectrum resources of telecom operators to improve the
capacity.
CN The CN needs to support the downlink peak rate of 42 Mbit/s provided by downlink
DC- HSDPA with 64QAM.
NodeB DC-HSDPA requires NodeB to support MAC-ehs. A single MAC-ehs entity supports
HS-DSCH transmission in more than one cell served by the same Node-B (FDD only).
In 3GPP Release 8, HS-DSCH categories 21, 22, 23, and 24 of the UE are added to
support DC-HSDPA. In later 3GPP release, more HS-DSCH categories may support DC-
UE HSDPA.
Restrictions of DC Cells
› DC-HSDPA is used only on channel transport HS-DSCHs.
› The anchor and supplementary carrier cells must belong to the same NodeB and work
on adjacent frequency
› RNC Side
» When both DC+64QAM and MIMO+64QAM are supported, to set the preference to DC-HSDPA,
run SET FRC: MIMOorDcHSDPASwitch=DC-HSDPA-1;
