Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Overview of HSPA+
HSPA+ is introduced in the 3GPP Release 7. It is an enhancement to HSDPA introduced in the
WCDMA protocol of R6. The use of the HSPA+ technology helps provide higher data rate on
downlink radio links and improve the throughput of a single user and cell capacity. Therefore, the
HSPA+ further improves the service experience of end users.
As the most important feature of RAN11.0, the HSPA+ benefits mobile operators and end users in
the following aspects:
64QAM: DL 64QAM allows the use of 64QAM in HSDPA to increase the number of bits per
symbol and thus to obtain higher transmission rates. The peak rate at the MAC layer can reach 21
Mbit/s. .
2x2MIMO: MIMO increases transmission rates through space multiplexing and improves channel
qualities through space diversity. The network side can dynamically select single- or dual-stream
transmission according to channel conditions. The peak rate at the MAC layer can reach 28
Mbit/s. .
DL Enhanced Layer 2: This feature allows Uu L2 to use flexible PDU size on RLC layer and
segmentation on MAC layer. The feature prevents the L2 from becoming the bottleneck of higher
Uu rate increased by MIMO and 64QAM..
CPC: CPC allows the uplink and downlink transmissions to take place at periodic intervals. This
feature reduces the transmitted power (and thus increases the UE battery life) because the UE does
not have to monitor and transmit overhead channels every TTl. This reduction in the transmitted
power also helps to increase the uplink capacity by decreasing the total interference. This
improvement is especially significant when there are users who transmit data infrequently as VoIP
users.
CPC feature consists of DL-DRX, UL DTX and HS-SCCH Less Operation.
.
Enhanced CELL_FACH: Enhanced CELL_FACH operation allows the use of HSDPA
technologies for the UEs in the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and URA_PCH state. The purpose is
to increase the peak rates in these states and reduce the signaling transmission delay during service
setup or state transition with the result improving the user experience.
.
The 64QAM and MIMO are the most important and commercialized features of the HSPA+
technology. This document only involves the 64QAM, MIMO, and Enhanced Layer 2 (basis of the
two important features). Enhanced CELL_FACH and CPC are not described here.
In a cellular network, the uplink traffic and downlink traffic are unbalanced. Generally, the
downlink capability is 25 times the uplink capability. Therefore, the downlink capability in the
WCDMA system is limited. For the downlink coverage, the downlink transmit power of the BTS
2010-01-14

Page9, Total45
Internal
is far greater than the uplink transmit power of the UE. Typically, the downlink transmit power of
the BTS is 43 dBm, and the uplink transmit power of the UE is 2124 dBm. Therefore, uplink
UEs are easy to obtain higher SNR. In the case of high SNR, the higher-order modulation
technology can be used to obtain the higher spectral efficiency. Therefore, the 64 QAM high-order
modulation technology is introduced in R7 (the 16 QAM modulation is applied in R6).
From the aspects of mobile operators and terminal users, the HSPA+ has the following
advantages:
Expand the downlink capacity of the network and obtain higher spectral efficiency in
the case of higher SNR.
The HSPA+ 64QAM provides a higher data transmission rate than the HSDPA. Theoretically, if
the 64QAM technology is adopted, the peak rate is 21.096 Mbit/s (Formula: TB_Size/TTI =
42192 / 2ms = 21.096 Mbit/s).
Using the space diversity method, the MIMO technology adopts the multi-antenna technology on
the transmitting side and receiving side to improve the transmission capacity of the radio
communication system by several times without increasing transmit power and bandwidth in the
high SNR environment (the transmission capacity is in proportion to the number of antennas).
Theoretically, if the HSPA+ MIMO technology is adopted, the peak rate is 27.952 Mbit/s
(Formula: TB_Size/TTI = 27952 / 2ms x 2 (double data stream) = 27.952 Mbit/s).
For operators, the use of the HSPA+ can reduce the unit cost for transmitting every mega bytes of
data stream, increase average system capability, enhance downlink data service performance of a
UE, and improves the cell throughput.
The HSPA+ offers a higher data transmission rate, short service response time, and reliable service
performance for a UE. Therefore, it improves the service experience of the UE.
Mobile operators concern about the expenses for building an HSPA+ network. This depends on
the equipment price and the service strategies of a single operator. As a high-rate data service
enhancement technology in the WCDMA R5, the HSPA+ is compatible with the HSPA of earlier
versions and R99. The operator can upgrade NodeBs in the existing WCDMA R99 network to
introduce the HSPA+ with little impact on the existing architecture. This helps shorten the network
construction period and protect the investments of the operator.
Constraint: This document describes the 64QAM, 2x2MIMO, and Enhanced Layer 2 of the R7
HSPA+, excluding the E_FACH and CPC technologies.
HSDPA: The HSDPA involved in this document refers to the R5/R6 HSDPA technology,
excluding the 64QAM and MIMO technologies in R7.

1.3 Principles
1.3.1 HSPA+ Code Allocation Policy
HS-PDSCH: The HSPA throughput of a cell depends on the number of HS-PDSCH codes in the
cell. The maximum number of codes supported by a UE depends on the HSDPA category of the
UE. Generally, the HSPA+ code allocation policy is the same as that of RAN10. The HSPA+
introduction requires more code resources. Therefore, more HS-PDSCH codes must be configured
to meet high speed requirements. HS-PDSCH codes can be allocated in following modes:
An HS-SCCH carries the information about the downlink HS-PDSCH allocated for each UE.
The information carried in the HS-SCCH includes the information required by the UE to
demodulate the HS-PDSCH, including UE ID, HS-PDSCH code allocation information,
modulation mode, and transport block size. Each HS-SCCH contains 128 spreading factors (SFs).
Within 2ms TTI, the information carried on each HS-SCCH is intended for one UE. To schedule
multiple UEs within 2 ms, multiple HS-SCCHs are required.

Control the transmission of the HSPA data stream of the MAC-d or MAC-c/sh
from the RNC on the Iub interface.
1.3.3 Scheduling
The object of the scheduling algorithm is all the UEs that need to share the HSPA+ and HSPA
channels. The scheduling algorithm is used to balance the resources and UEs. Compared with
RAN10.0, the HSPA+ increases the Layer 2 Enhancement and CS AMR over HSDPA, affects the
scheduling algorithm, supports Layer 2 Enhancement and enhancement technology in the physical
layer, and optimizes the QoS guarantee policies of the non-real-time service (background or
interactive service) and real-time services such as Streaming, VoIP, CS AMR carried on the
HS-DSCH.
Factors to be considered are as follows:
Consider the fairness. Make sure that every UE has the chance to transmit data.
RR Scheduling: This algorithm schedules all the UEs in turn. It aims at ensuring
fairness, that is, each UE can be served in a certain period of time.
Max C/I: It aims at obtaining the maximum system capacity and highest resource
utilization without considering the fairness.
PF: Proportion equity scheduling algorithm. Regard the RR and Max C/I as
special PFs.

Traffic
Retry timer
The load control policy of the HSPA+ is similar to that of the HSDPA.
LDR algorithm: If the usage of cell resources exceeds the basic congestion threshold, the cell
enters into the basic congestion state. In this case, the cell triggers the LDR to relieve the cell
resource congestion.
OLC algorithm: When the uplink or downlink power in an R99 cell exceeds the uplink or
downlink triggering threshold for OLC, the R99 cell enters into the overload congestion state. To
ensure the system stability, fast OLC actions are required to quickly eliminate the overload
congestion of the cell. If the uplink or downlink power of R99 cell is lower than the uplink or
downlink congestion releasing threshold for OLC, the R99 cell enters into the basic congestion
state.

2.2.2 HARQ
The Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) is an error correction technology. The HARQ
combines the forward error code (FEC) and automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) technologies. R99
and R44 adopt the traditional ARQ method that is implemented on the RLC layer.
Similar to the HSDPA, the HSPA+ adopts the SAW HARQ protocol. If the SAW HARQ protocol
is adopted, for each channel, the next data packet is transmitted only when the correct
acknowledgement information of the previous data packet is received. The protocol is simple, but
the channel utilization is low. The SAW HARQ protocol can solve the problem of low channel
utilization.

2.2.6 2x2MIMO
Using the space diversity method, the MIMO technology adopts the multi-antenna technology on
the transmitting end and receiving end to improve the transmission capacity of the radio
communication system by several times without increasing transmit power and bandwidth in the
high SNR environment (the transmission capacity is in proportion to the number of antennas).
Currently, the typical scenario is 2x2MIMO, that is, dual-fed and dual-receiving mode.
Theoretically, if the MIMO technology is adopted, the peak rate is 27.952 Mbit/s (Formula:
TB_Size/TTI = 27952 / 2ms x 2 (double data stream) = 27.952 Mbit/s)
Note that the 64QAM and MIMO cannot be configured in the R7 protocol at the same time.
2.3.1 HS-DSCH
As downlink shared channels, HS-DSCHs are used to carry downlink user data. The spreading
factor of each HS-DSCH is fixed to 16. In each cell, a maximum of 15 SFs (equal to 16) are
configured for HS-DSCHs. All UEs share these HS-DSCHs through the time multiplexing and
code multiplexing.
The number of configured HS-DSCH codes determines the HSPA capability of the cell. The
number of HS-DSCH codes used by the UE depends on the capacity. To adapt to high-speed data
transmission and rapid response to channel changes, the TTI of HS-DSCHs is 3slot, that is, 2ms.
The BTS schedules UEs in a TTI of 2ms. Compared with HSDPA channels, HS-DSCHs of the
HSPA+ support 64QAM high-order modulation. Therefore, the spectral efficiency is improved
further.
HS-DSCHs support the retransmission gain combing through the HARQ mechanism.
HS-DSCHs do not support rapid power control and select the appropriate channel code
combination, chip rate, and modulation mode.

2.3.2 HS-SCCH
HS-SCCHs are downlink shared channels. Each HS-SCCH carries the information required for the
UE to demodulate the HS-PDSCH, including UE ID, HS-DSCH code allocation information,
modulation mode, and transport block size. Through the information, the UE determines whether
the data on HS-DSCHs are sent to the UE and how to receive the data.
The information carried by HS-SCCHs is important for the UE to demodulate the HS-DSCHs.
HS-SCCHs transmit information two slots in advance than the corresponding HS-DSCHs.
Therefore, the UE decides whether to demodulate HS-DSCHs after demodulating HS-SCCHs.
The spreading factor of each HS-SCCH is 128. In a 2-ms TTI, the information carried on each
HS-SCCH can only be used for one UE. Therefore, multiple HS-SCCHs must be configured if
you schedule multiple UEs within 2 ms. A UE monitors a maximum of four HS-SCCHs at the
same time.

2.3.3 HS-DPCCH
HS-DPCCHs are uplink dedicated hannels. The spreading factor is 256. An uplink HS-DPCCH
must be established for an HSPA-enabled UE. The uplink HS-DPCCH and other uplink channels
of the UE adopt the code multiplexing mode. For non-MIMO users, information carried on
HS-DPCCHs includes the ACK/NACK message used for the rapid retransmission in the physical
layer and the CQI (channel quality result) measured by the UE. The BTS determines whether to
transmit downlink data through the information.

the UE on HS-DSCHs.
If the UE finds that the data block information on HS-SCCHs is transmitted to the UE, the UE
demodulates the HS-DSCHs by using the obtained information after two timeslots to obtain the
data block information.
In step 2, the CQI reporting period is set by the BTS to 2 ms, 4 ms, 8 ms, or 16 ms. Steps 35 are
performed every 2 ms.

The R99, HSDPA, and HSPA+ services fully share transmission resources. However, the

To guarantee the smooth operation of the HSPA+ service, Configure a GBR for the HSPA+
service to ensure the minimum power, code, and transmission resources obtained by the service.
For the HSPA+-enabled dual-carrier service, the research focuses on how to allocate code, power,
and transmission resources to the HSPA+ and R99 service to achieve the maximum resource usage
in addition to the original features of the R99 service.

Dual carrier
scenario I: Both
two carriers
provide continuous
coverage of the
HSPA service.
2010-01-14
Advantage
1. The two carriers
implement
continuous
coverage of the
HSPA service.
2. Both R99 and
HSPA users can
make calls in this
cell, and the access
delay is low.
3. R99 users
implement load
sharing in hot spot
areas. Therefore,
cells served by the
two carriers achieve
load balancing.
4. HSPA users
implement load
balancing through
random camping
policies.
HUAWEI Confidential
Disadvantage
1. The network is
expensive to construct.
2. HSPA users do not
achieve load balancing.
3. HSPA resources are
configured preferentially
for each TRX. Therefore,
it is hard to ensure the
smooth operation of the
HSPA service.
Page37, Total45
Dual carrier
scenario II: HSPA
cells are not
covered
continuously
(recommended).
Internal
1. If the HSPA-enabled
UE enters from the area
covered by the single
TRX to that covered by
double TRXs, the UE is
handed over to the
intra-frequency R99 cell
and cannot be handed
over to the
inter-frequency HSPA
cell. Therefore, the
HSPA coverage cannot
be implemented.
2. When initiating a call,
the HSPA-enabled UE is
handed over to an
inter-frequency cell
through the DRD. This
can affect the access
delay of the UE.
To guarantee smooth operation of the HSPA service, commercial networks of Huawei adopt
networking mode II. Networking mode I involves simple policies, configuration, and algorithms
and is similar to common dual carrier networking.
Maximize the MIMO capacity grain and balance powers of the two transmit channels.

Disadvantage
The MIMO technology requires to be deployed on an independent frequency and has extra
requirements on frequency resources. In the early application period, the penetration ratio of
MIMO-enabled UEs is low, and network resource usage is not high.

MIMO and R99 services to an identical carrier improves user experience and increases network
resource usage.
Disadvantage
Binding the MIMO and R99 services to an identical carrier increases the average downlink load of
frequency F1 and affects KPIs of the R99 cell because the HSPA service consumes larger
downlink power. In this case, you can control uplink load to relieve these impacts.

Chapter 6 FAQs
6.1 Services Failing to Access HSPA Channels
1. Check whether the UE supports the service.
2. Check whether the registered rate of the SIM card is correct.
3. Check whether the initial rate reaches the rate threshold of HSPA channels.
4. Run the DSP CELL command on the RNC to check whether the HSPA service of related cells
is available.

BLER of the Uu interface (Check the quality of the tested radio environment. The peak
rate of the HSPA+ service imposes high requirements on the quality of the Uu interface.
Therefore, the radio environment of the Uu interface must be high-quality.)
Great impact imposed by the CQI on the single thread service (check the quality of the
tested radio environment)
Problems occurred in the multithread service are different from those in the single thread service.
The cause may be one of the followings:
Problems occurred on the Iub interface (see the preceding configuration specifications)
*******************************************************************************
Note: For the IP networking environment, check settings of all ports to ensure that the CN and switch work in
forcible full duplex mode.
*******************************************************************************
Rate limit on the Iu interface
Poor-quality radio environment (Observing Ec/N0 on the LMT or by using other tools)
Packet loss on data sources of the CN causing insufficient data sources
The most possible cause is that the configuration of the portable computer and the driver of
the UE cause low rate in the application layer.
The recommended configuration of portable computers is as follows:
1GB memory
high-performance CPU
High rate
In conclusion, the HSPA+ imposes high requirements on each NE, portable computers, and FTP
server. Guarantee performance of the portable computers and the FTP server in actual tests.
Otherwise, performance of the HSPA+ service may be affected.
