HSPA evolution involves several new features to increase data rates:
1) MIMO (2x2) using spatial multiplexing allows two independent data streams to increase throughput.
2) Higher order modulations like 64QAM for downlink and 16QAM for uplink allow more bits per symbol.
3) Layer 2 enhancements like flexible RLC PDU sizes and MAC-ehs header format allow higher data rates to be supported.

4. Effective high data rates beyond HSPA:
theoretical hints
requires better signal strength
rather than wider bandwidth!
⎛ S⎞
C = W log 2 ⎜1 + ⎟
⎝ N⎠
Bandwidth expansion more
beneficial than Eb/No rise!
To get effective high data rate in WCDMA systems, we may want:
Reasonable bandwidth Spatial multiplexing
Reduced cell size High-order modulation
Tx/Rx diversity Interference suppression

5. The super highway leading forward - MIMO
MIMO (Spatial multiplexing)
- Each antenna used for transmitting a different stream. No antenna diversity in that case per stream
MIMO in practice: spatial multiplexing + diversity
- cross path between antennas exists and Diversity still needed for reliable transmittion
- MIMO used both for spatial multiplexing (rate improvement) and diversity (SNR improvement)

6. MIMO - capacity in Rayleigh propagation
Transformation of MIMO channel into n SISO channels:
MIMO capacity: ⎡ ρ ⎤
C = log 2 ⎢det( I + ⋅ H ⋅ H H )⎥
- channel known to Rx, unknown to Tx:
⎣ nt ⎦
- Maximized when Tx number = Rx number via orthogonal channels :
⎡ ρ ⎤
C = log 2 ⎢det( I + ⋅ n ⋅ I n )⎥ ⇒ C = n ⋅ log 2 (1 + ρ )
⎣ n ⎦
Hints:
• Capacity does not depend on the nature of the channel matrix as it increases linearly with n for a fixed SNR.
• Every 3dB increase of SNR corresponds to an n bits/s/Hz increase in capacity

7. MIMO in Practice –2x2 manner
Ideally, we want:
In practice, we use SVD decomposition to ease “H inversion”.
H=U⋅D⋅VH Where U , V is unitaries of dimension nr × nr and nt × nt ; D is a non-negative diagonal matrix of nr × nt
r r r
Applying V at Tx side and U H at Rx side, we get U H ⋅ r = L = D ⋅ s + n ′

8. MIMO in UTRAN – DTxAA
• DTxAA – Double Transmission Antenna Array, 2x2 MIMO
– Possible independent coding/modulation for each data stream
– Successive interference cancellation at receiver
– Peak rate at 28.8Mbps
• Backward-compatible:
– Pilot design: one CPICH using different pilot pattern as in Tx diversity per
cell.
– Control channels: based on HS-SCCH / HS-DPCCH.
– Pre-coding based spatial multiplex:
• weight factors complying to the R99 Tx diversity alphabet.
• Deployment preference:
– micro- or indoor- cells where NLOS(non light-of-sight) rays or wonderful multi-
path exists

17. The protocol basis for high data rates
- Layer 2 Enhancements
RLC sliding window
• Motivation: 0 n UTRAN Mobile
– Rel-7 physical layer provides peak rate up to
28.8Mbps in DL (with MIMO) and 11.5Mbps in
UL( with 16QAM). SN=0,
P=0
– However, Rel-6 has semi-static RLC PDU size:
SN=1,
• with RLC window size 2048, RLC PDU size=40 bytes and P=0
RTT=100ms, the max data rate achievable is about
Round Trip Time
2048*40*8/0.1=6.5Mbps(13.1Mbps for an 80 byte PDU)
SN=n,
• Goal: P=1
– is to prevent RLC PDU format from being the SN= n
STATUS,
bottleneck of high data rate transmission.
• Flexible RLC PDU size:
– Packet-Centric RLC Concept as LTE RLC D/C Sequence Number Oct1
– Being able to map packets one-to-one to RLC Sequence Number P HE Oct2
PDUs Length Indicator E Oct3 (Optional) (1)
– Use Header Extension(HE) to indicate that last .

18. Layer 2 Enhancements – MAC
• MAC-ehs:
– MAC will segment RLC PDUs to adapt to momentary raido channels
• Segmentation indicator introduced in header
– Allow multiplex of data from multiple priority queues within one TTI
• Header supports indication of multiple logical channel identities
• C/T header is removed
– MAC-hs header is Octet-aligned
– New MAC-hs PDU format introduced:
LCH id 1 L1 TSN 1 SI 1 F1 LCH id k Lk TSN k SI k Fk
LCH Id – 4 bits: logical channel id
L – 11 bits: length indicator
TSN – 6 bits: One TSN per reordering queue
SI – 2bits: segmentation indicator
F – 1 bit: flag indication

21. Is it efficient on the highway for small cargos?
?
• Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC)
– to keep UEs in CELL_DCH for a longer time & avoid frequent state transition
• Scope:
1. DTX: to reduce UL intra-cell interference and save UE battery life
2. DRX: battery savings by discontinuous reception of HS-SCCH and E-
AGCH/E-RGCH. Note: F-DPCH will be in use and SRB is over HSPA.
3. HS-SCCH less operation: optimized design for small packets or low bit
rates (especially for VoIP or streaming) with bounded over-the-air latency
– HS-SCCH signaling overhead is not insignificant comparing to VoIP packets on
HS-DSCH
– Principle is to permit HS-DSCH transmissions without any companying HS-SCCH,
i,e. using a set of pre-defined formats (on HS-DSCH) aided by UE blind decoding

24. CPC - DTX
• Goal:
– to reduce the uplink control channel overhead for DPCCH.
• Principle:
– use occasional slots of DPCCH activity (i,e. uplink DPCCH gating) to
maintain uplink synchronization and reasonable power control, in case of no
data transmission.
– Controlled by either RRC signaling or physical layer L1 command
– No impact on ACK/NACK transmission on HS-DPCCH; CQI report follows
DTX pattern unless recent HS-DSCH reception occurred.

25. CPC - DRX
• Goal:
– to reduce UE battery power consumption in active state
• Principle:
– Following certain period of HS-DSCH inactivity, UE is restricted to
monitor HS-SCCH,E-AGCH and E-RGCH in specified subframes.
– Always used together with DTX
– Reception of E-HICH and F-DPCH is not affected by DRX operation.
– Controlled by either RRC signaling or physical layer L1 command.
DTX_cycle and DRX_cycle
should match each other!
All rights reserved @ 2008
26. CPC: DTX/DRX activation
• Enabling delay:
– a configurable time to allow synchronization and power control loops to
stabilize when to activate DTX/DRX by RRC signalings
• HS-SCCH Order (L1 command):
– Reserved HS-SCCH bit patterns to switch on-off DTX/DRX by NodeB
• New DPCCH slot format:
– Contains only Pilot bits and TPC bits, for reduction of UL DPCCH Tx power.

28. What is use of a highway if it takes too long
to reach it?
• Enhanced CELL_FACH operation:
– Reduce state transition latency from Non CELL_DCH states to
CELL_DCH states
– Faster data transmission for bursty, small packet applications, e.g
Presense
– Lower UE power consumption in CELL_FACH state by
discontinuous reception
• HS-DSCH reception in CELL_FACH
– Not intended to keep an active UE in CELL_FACH for a long time,
but to prepare for quick moving to CELL_DCH while minimizing the
interruption for data transmission during state transitions.
• HS-DSCH reception in CELL_PCH/URA_PCH
– No plan to support this!
3GPP TS 25.308(v790) section 14
All rights reserved @ 2008
29. Enhanced CELL_FACH Operation

31. VoIP over HSPA
• What :
- VoIP application in IMS domain, already standardized in 3GPP R5.
• How :
- Rel-5 standard provides “PS conversational RAB at 42.8kbps” without head compression
- With RoHC(headers compressed to 7 bytes), PS conversational RAB at 15.6 kbps can
convey VoIP packets reliably.
- SRB over HSPA needed, thus F-DPCH required
- enhanced NodeB scheduler for VoIP service
- HS-SCCH less operation is preferred
• Benefit :
- reduced cost-per-bit
- with CPC, RAN can support
doubled user capacity per cell
against R99 voice users.
