HSDPA: introduction (1/2)

HSDPA is introduced in 3GPP to provide a
HS (high speed) downlink data channel

Release 5 (TS 25.308, TS 25.211, )
Goals of the HSDPA

increasing bit rates in downlink,
(asymmetric capacity)
reducing delay, efficient user scheduling.

HSDPA: introduction (2/2)

Maximum aggregated data rates are significantly higher than 2 Mbit/s
(2 Mbit/s = max. value reached by previous WCDMA tech., cf. Release 4) theoretically exceeding 10 Mbit/s (max value boosted) in comparison with previous WCDMA performance, packet data throughput is increased 50-100%

HSDPA terminology & acronyms (1/2)

Ack: Acknowledgement ARQ: Automatic Repeat on reQest CH: Channel HARQ: Hybrid ARQ HS or hs: high speed Transport channel and a lot of physical channels
We introduce special (personal) connotations to facilitate the decryption of acronyms: e.g. HS-DoSCH for HS-DSCH (D for Downlink) HS-DePCCH for HS-DPCCH (D for Dedicated) HS-PDoSCH for HS-PDSCH (D for Downlink) Lower case letters (and arrows) that are introduced in channel acronyms are not present in the standart.
HSDPA terminology & acronyms (2/2)
MAC: Medium Access Control RLC: Radio Link Control (layer 2, ARQ protocol) RR: Radio Resources RRC: RR Control (management of RR, configure Phy, MAC-hs, RLC) TTI: Transmission Time Interval (TTIHSDPA = 2 ms) UE: User Equipment
25/5/2005
HSDPA techniques (1/3)

The HSDPA use new mechanisms
adaptive modulation and coding, hybrid ARQ, specific scheduling at MAC-hs.
Fast adaptation
These techniques rely on rapid adaptation of transmission parameters to instantaneous channel conditions.
The mechanisms are implemented in Node B.
25/5/2005

Adaptive modulation and coding
modulation and coding schemes AMCS
QPSK, 16-QAM (64 QAM) modulations turbo codes with rate 1/4 .. 3/4
adapted to instantaneous channel conditions
Hybrid ARQ or HARQ

to decode data, the soft information from the original transmission is combined with and any subsequent retransmissions
the effective probability of packet error for the 1st transmission may be on the order of 10-40%

Fast scheduling
determines which user(s) transmit data in a given time interval.
A new MAC entity called MAC-hs handles

the hybrid ARQ (HARQ) and fast scheduling
MAC-hs entity is located in the Node B
25/5/2005
Layers above MAC

The HSDPA does not affect the layers above the MAC layer
PDCP RLC MAC-d, They are unchanged from the Release '99 and Release 4
Remarks
ciphering of the data by the RNC is still needed, in soft handover between two different Node_B, the RNC (RLC) can guarantee no loss of data when the HARQ in the Node B fails,

HSDPA resourses
HSDPA resources are shared between users codes
the code resource consists of several channelization codes set aside for the HS-DSCH (max # = 5,10, 15)

New channels: HS-DoSCH,

The HSPDA introduces the HS-DoSCH High Speed Downlink Shared Channel, for user data, carried (at phy level) by the
HS-PDoSCH , HS-Physical Downlink Shared Ch.
The HS-DoSCH is associated with the

HS-SCCH , HS-Shared Control Channels (Phy Ch); A Dedicated Physical Control Channel or HS-DePCCH is paired with the HS-SCCH
([3G25211])
25/5/2005
12
HS-DSCH
The HS-DoSCH is a downlink transport channel shared between number of users (for data, user plane) The channel is associated with
one DPCH , Downlink Dedicated Physical Ch one or several HS-SCCH
The channel is transmitted over the entire cell or over only part of the cell (directional)
e.g., by using beam-forming antennas
25/5/2005
13
Sharing of HS-DSCH code resource (1/2)

A specific TTI (Transmission Time Interval) is considered for the HS-DoSCH
TTI = basic packetization time MAC/Phy HS-DSCH is allocated to users on the TTI basis A short TTI is used: TTI = 2 ms (
(fixed to 2 ms for FDD, for TDD TTI = 10ms in 3.84 Mcps)
"TTI ~ means in the following "HS-DoSCH TTI. A user may be assigned multiple codes in the same TTI Several users can be multiplexed within a TTI

HS-DoSCH /HS-PDoSCH (1/2)

A HS-Physical Downlink Shared Channel (HS-PDoSCH) carries data of the HS-DoSCH
the HS-DoSCH is mapped to one or several HS-PDoSCHs
every TTI, one or several HS-PDoSCHs can be used # simultaneous HS-PDoSCH = #codes =1..5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15
within one TTI an HS-PDoSCH is assigned to a single UE
One HS-PDoSCH corresponds to one channelization code with a fixed spreading factor (since SF=16 for HSDPA) from the set of codes reserved for HS-DoSCH CRC = 24 bits

HS-SCCH (1/4)
The channel carries the necessary physical layer control information to enable decoding of the data on the HS-DoSCH. The channel is power controlled. A UE is allocated (at a given period) an HS-SCCH set
The maximum number of HS-SCCHs in a set is 4.
The number of HS-SCCHs (seen from the UE's point-of-view) can range from one to four HS-SCCHs. The UE has the capability to monitor four HSSCCHs simultaneously.
In one cell, more than one HS-SCCH set may be used. in case of HS-DoSCH transmission to the same UE in consecutive TTIs, the same HS-SCCH is used for the corresponding signaling

Description of a MAC-hs header (2/2)

Mapping of DeTCH (De. Traffic Channel) or DeCCH (De. Control Channel) to HS-DoSCH

padding is not explicitly indicated and is included in the end of the MAC-hs PDU if the total size of the MAC-hs payload is smaller than the transport block set size
the transport block size (for HS-DoSCH) is derived from the TFRI value signaled on the HS-SCCH the mapping between the TFRI value and the transport block size is given in [3G 25.321], p.32
