Overall Feature Concept

Upgrade steps
From SC HSDPA first DC HSDPA for the UE is introduced
Once F1 (primary cell) and F2 (secondary serving HS cell) are setup, MIMO SS or DS can be
introduced for UE either on F1 or both on F1 and F2
The MIMO modes SS / DS can be selected for each carrier independently

Lastly, if channel conditions allow, 64 QAM can be introduced for the UE

Dual Cell Concept

General design
To DC HSDPA UEs are assigned HS-DSCHs in the primary serving and secondary
serving high speed cell
UL for DC HSDPA UEs transmitted via primary serving cell (no UL in secondary
serving HS cell)
Besides HS-DSCH the primary serving cell is carrying
Full set of dedicated and common control channels
UL transport channels E-DCH and control channels
Secondary serving HS cell is left clean as far as possible from signaling (maximum
HS-DSCH capacity)
Among common channels only CPICH is used
E-AGCH, E-RGCH and E-HICH might by existent for dual cell HSUPA

Dual Cell Concept

Combination with MIMO
HS-DSCH
2 HS-DSCH used, one on each carrier
For MIMO on both these carriers
For dual stream, 2 transport blocks are sent per TTI on each HS-DSCH (i.e. altogether 4 TBs)
For single stream, 1 transport block is sent per TTI on each HS-DSCH (i.e. altogether 2 TBs)
Virtual antenna concept can be used again to avoid degraded performance for non-MIMO /
non-DC HSDPA users in DC HSDPA + MIMO cells
HS-SCCH
Each DL carrier has its own HS-SCCH set, allowing separate scheduling between the
carriers in a similar way as for DC HSDPA
3GPP HS-SCCH type 3 used

Dual Cell Concept

Combination with MIMO
HS-DPCCH
Feedback information for both DL carriers (primary and secondary) can be carried on single
UL carrier, using a single SF256 channelization code
Up to 4 flows of ACK/NACKs have to be transmitted using 10 bits

New coding and / or time multiplexing of ACK/NACK, CQI and PCI is required
Due to lower redundancy more UE power required, i.e. more UL noise rise introduced
Other common channels
E-HICH / E-RGCH
E-AGCH
F-DPCH
All these channels are present in both cells

Simultaneous usage of dual cell HSDPA and MIMO doubles the amount of CQI

Causes problems in case of applications requiring frequent transmission of small

Strong occupation of dedicated resources for low total throughput

Fading Scenarios
BLER target settings can be done in dependence on fading
The amount of fading is expressed by the variance of the CQI
Variance < 1

Strong fading
Variance > 2.5
The fading scenarios are non configurable
BLER targets can be set for the most extreme fading scenarios only
