HSDPA MAC-d throughput at BTS divided by the active HS-DSCH time from the network perspective
(sum([RECEIVED_HS_MACD_BITS] - [DISCARDED_HS_MACD_BITS]
+([MC_HSDPA_ORIG_DATA_PRI]+[MC_HSDPA_ORIG_D ATA_SEC])*8) * 500) /
sum([HS_SCCH_PWR_DIST_CLASS_0] + [HS_SCCH_PWR_DIST_CLASS_1] +
[HS_SCCH_PWR_DIST_CLASS_2] + [HS_SCCH_PWR_DIST_CLASS_3] +
[HS_SCCH_PWR_DIST_CLASS_4] + [HS_SCCH_PWR_DIST_CLASS_5]) [kbit/s]
(sum([M5000C126]-[M5000C127] +([M5002C128]+[M5002C129])*8) * 500) / sum([M5000C69]

+ [M5000C70] + [M5000C71] + [M5000C72] + [M5000C73] + [M5000C74])
- dual cell user is counted as a separate user in each of the two cells
- the active time refers to the scheduled TTIs, i.e. when sending data. The throughput is looked at from MAC-d layer,
i.e. how much MAC-d level data the HSDSCH is able to successfully transfer to UEs using the scheduled TTIs, so this
considers also the MAC-hs efficiency.
- when aggregated per BTS and higher this KPIs is still showing average Cell throughput for all Cells.

HSDPA Data Volume and Throughput – RNC counters

M1023C8 TRANSFERRED DATA FOR HSDSCH
• amount of MAC-d PDU data transferred with the HS-DSCH in the downlink direction during the
measurement interval
• when DC-HSDPA is used, this counter is updated only for the primary HS-DSCH serving cell by a
value corresponding to the total data volume transferred using both carriers
• updated at 20-second intervals, and when the connection is released or the active set is changed.
M1023C9 TRANSFERRED DATA FOR NRT DCH FOR HSDPA RETURN CHANNEL UL
• amount of MAC-d PDU data transferred in the NRT DCH in the uplink direction during the
measurement interval, including only the HS-DSCH return channels
• updated at 20-second intervals, and when the connection is released or the active set is changed

HSDPA End-user Experienced DL Throughput RU40

RAN1877: End-user Experienced DL Throughput 1/3
Introduces new counters for end-user statistics for each SPI (scheduling priority indicator)
class for HSDPA traffic
Counters introduced by this feature are based on sampling and summing up every 100
seconds for each SPI class:
• number of active HSDPA users
• number of samples for number of active HSDPA users
• number of allocated HSDPA users
• number of samples for number of allocated HSDPA users
Every counter group consists of 17 counters:

− 16 counters for each SPI class
− one counter for total values

Existing Counters:
M5002C5 - M5002C20 TOTAL ACKNOWLEDGED DATA IN MAC-HS PDUS FOR SPI (0...15)
M5002C130 ORIGINAL HSDPA DATA
New Counters:
M5002C58-M5002C73 ACTIVE HSDPA USERS IN SPI (0...15)
M5002C74 ALL ACTIVE HSDPA USERS
M5002C75-M5002C90 SAMPLES FOR ACTIVE HSDPA USERS IN SPI (0...15)
M5002C91 SAMPLES FOR ALL ACTIVE HSDPA USERS

M5002C92-M5002C107 ALLOCATED HSDPA USERS IN SPI (0...15)
M5002C108 ALL ALLOCATED HSDPA USERS
M5002C109-M5002C124 SAMPLES FOR ALLOCATED HSDPA USERS IN SPI (0...15)
M5002C125 SAMPLES FOR ALL ALLOCATED HSDPA USERS

Key performance indicators
The following KPIs (per SPI per Cell) are introduced for the RAN1877 feature.
• Average number of activate HSDPA users
• Average number of allocated HSDPA users
• Average end-user experienced throughput of active HSDPA users
• Average end-user experienced throughput of allocated HSDPA users
The KPIs can be provided by NetAct Reporter.

CPC

Continuous Packet Connectivity
Capacity performance
- CPC conception
 Longer service within Cell DCH.
 CPC eliminates the interference during periods when data is not transferred
This reduced total interference and gains capacity?!
RRC Idle Cell_PCH

CPC: Continuous Packet Connectivity
Concept
Discontinuous UL DPCCH Transmission & Reception during UE UL traffic inactivity

(UL DPCCH gating + DRX at BTS)
– CQI reporting reduction (switched from periodical to synchronized with DPCCH burst)
– Stopping E-DPCCH detection at NodeB during DPCCH inactivity
Discontinuous DL Reception (DRX at UE)
– Stop receiving HS-SCCH, E-AGCH & E-RGCH when not needed
Faster response times
– Increased number of low activity packet users in CELL_DCH state
Motivation and Benefits:
Increased capacity for low data rate applications
Longer battery life
CPC “Sub-features”:
• UL DPCCH Gating (UL DTX)
• CQI Reporting reduction
• Discontinuous UL Reception (MAC DTX)
• Discontinuous DL Reception (DL DRX)

Continuous Packet Connectivity – CPC
Concept of UL Discontinuous Transmission – UL Gating
UL Gating (UL DTX): reduces UL control channel (DPCCH) overhead

• no data to sent on E-DPDCH or HS-DPCCH ⇒ UE switches off UL DPCCH
• DPCCH Gating is precondition for other 3 sub-features

Downlink Flexible RLC

 Increase of Radio link Control PDU size efficiency/flex.
- reduced requirement for RLC headers and padding
- Less processing requirement in the RNC and UE
- MAC-d layer does not increase OH
- Padding is less likely with Flexible RLC because MAC-d PDU
- can be segmented to the correct size

HSUPA 2ms TTI utilization

HSUPA: 10 ms & 2ms (RAN 1470) TTI
• 3GPP Rel. 6 defines both 10 ms & 2 ms TTI for HSUPA

• NSN RAS06 & RU10 support only 10 ms TTI
• 10 ms TTI improves cell edge performance
2 ms TTI:
• 2 ms TTI (RAN1470) support with NSN RU20: • reduced latency
• 2 ms TTI reduces latency • higher peak rates
• 2 ms supports increased peak throughputs (up to 5.8 Mbps)
• prerequisite for HSUPA peak rates up to 5.8 Mbps
• 2 ms TTI: SRB are mapped onto HSPA
(NSN implementation)
• 10 ms TTI: SRB are mapped onto DCH
(NSN implementation) 10 ms TTI:
• Improved cell edge
• SRB mapping onto HSUPA is mandatory for the 2×SF2 + performance
2×SF4 configuration because the DPDCH code is
blocked by E-DPDCH codes (3GPP specification)
• PriForSRBsOnHSPA: RNC; 0..15; 1; 15

MIMO Concept
• M transmit antennas and N receive antennas form MxN MIMO system
• Huge data stream (input) distributed towards M spatial distributed antennas (M parallel
input bit streams 1..M)
• Spatial multiplexing generate parallel “virtual data pipes”

RAN1642: MIMO
Introduction to the feature:
• MIMO with 16QAM enables 28Mbit/s peak HSDPA data rate
• increases single user peak data rate, overall cell capacity, and average cell throughput.
• Functional description
2x2 MIMO single user (SU) is considered with two transmit antennas at the BTS and two receive antennas at the UE
• Single stream and dual stream modes
- in case of single stream, the same block of data is transmitted by the BTS using two Tx antennas with a different
- antenna pre-coding for each of them (redundancy)
- in case of dual stream, two different blocks of data are transmitted from both antennas at the same time using the
- orthogonal antenna pre- coding for the two blocks:
- the HSDPA peak data rate is doubled as result of the operation of two parallel data streams
- theoretical maximum data rate with 16QAM is 28 Mbit/s.
- terminal categories 15, 16, 17,18, 19 and 20 are capable of 2x2 DL MIMO with 16QAM
- the maximum theoretical throughput of 28 Mbit/s (MIMO + 16QAM) requires the use of coding rates close to 1, that is
- used for an error free reception.
• MIMO supports two configurations for SRBs:

- DL SRB on HS-DSCH (with F-DPCH) and UL SRB on E-DCH (2ms or 10 ms TTI)DL SRB on
- DCH & UL SRB on E-DCH (2 ms TTI)
MIMO: RAN 1642
• RU20 (3GPP Rel. 7) introduces 2x2 MIMO with 2-Tx/2-Rx
– Double Transmit on BTS side (D-TxAA), 2 receive antennas on UE side
– System can operate in dual stream (MIMO) or single (SISO, non-MIMO) mode
• MIMO 2x2 enables 28 Mbps peak data rate in HSDPA WBTS: 2 Tx-
– 28 Mbps peak rate in combination with 16QAM antennas
– 64QAM: no simultaneous support of 64QAM & MIMO (not yet)
– Dual-Cell HSDPA: not possible to enable MIMO & DC-HSDPA in a cell in parallel

Dual Cell HSDPA
DC-HSDPA: Principles (1/2)
• prior to 3GPP Release 8, HSDPA channel bandwidths are limited to 5 MHz
• Dual-Cell HSDPA: 3GPP Rel. 8 allows 2 adjacent channels to be combined
⇒ effective HSDPA channel bandwidth of 10 MHz (RU20 feature)
• 3GPP Rel. 8: Dual Cell HSDPA can be combined with 64QAM but not with MIMO
(Release 9 allows combination with both, 64QAM & MIMO)
⇒ 42 Mbps HSDPA peak rate
Basic Approach Dual Cell Approach

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 – 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

HSUPA interference cancellation receiver
Interference Situation - RU20 and RU30
RU20
• Users with low level services (usually with 10ms TTI) strongly interfered by
users with high level services (usually with 2ms TTI)
RU30
• Interference contribution of 2ms TTI users subtracted from total signal
arriving at BTS before demodulating and decoding the signals of 10ms TTI
users
• Less power needed by 10ms TTI users due to cancelled interference of 2ms TTI
users
• 2ms TTI users less interfered by 10ms TTI users due to lower power
• Optionally interference contribution of individual 2ms TTI users subtracted
before demodulating and decoding other 2ms TTI users
Interference Cancellation Concept - Basic
Types of users
• IC users
• Users whose interference contribution is cancelled from the total signal
• Users mapped on E-DCH with 2ms TTI (usually those with highest power)
• Do not get any direct benefit from interference cancellation
• Non-IC users
• Users for which interference is reduced, as the contribution of the non IC users is cancelled from the total
signal
• Remaining users mapped on E-DCH with 2ms TTI (usually such ones with lower power)
• All 10ms TTI E-DCH users
• All DCH users
RTWP
IC Users = interferers to be cancelled
Non IC Users = users for which

interference is reduced
Time
Interference Cancellation Concept - Basic
Parallel interference cancellation PIC
• Total UL signal received with rake receiver or frequency domain equalizer
• Turbo decoding to obtain (strongest) 2 ms TTI E-DCH signals
• Decoded data used to reconstruct original 2 ms TTI signals (= interferers for other users)
Reconstruction includes turbo encoding, spreading and modulation
• Cancel interference from (strongest) 2 ms TTI user: Reconstructed signals are summed up and
subtracted from the original total antenna signal ⇒ non-IC users’ signal (residual signal)
• Individual non-IC user signals demodulated on the residual signal, benefiting from lower
interference level ⇒ improving cell coverage and capacity

Residual stream reconstruction RSR
• Basic PIC
• IC users do not benefit directly from the reduced interference
• Their signals are demodulated in parallel on the original antenna signal
• Enhanced PIC
• Demodulate signals of IC users again after residual signal reconstruction for these signals
(to gain from basic interference cancellation)
• Residual Stream Reconstruction RSR
• For each 2 ms TTI user, his individual signal is reconstructed
• The reconstructed signal is added to the common residual signal
• Interference introduced by 2 ms TTI users canceled from the signals of other 2 ms TTI users

Description: The average residual received total wideband power value during the measurement period. The
residual power is the received total power where part of the interference caused by HSUPA users is removed
from the original signal power.

Description With this parameter it is possible to change the PIC state of a cell from Disabled to
Enabled or Automatic. There may be restriction in WBTS for changing the PICState.
If the change is not possible, then the PICState remains unchanged. Parameter WCEL-PICState
indicates the PICState of the cell.
Range Enabled (0), Disabled (1), Automatic (2)

HSUPA IC Receiver feature can be activated in BTS by the commissioning parameter ‘picPool’.
HSUPA IC Receiver Feature Characteristics
- BTS Manager allows the operator to commission the HSUPA IC Receiver feature to BTS using commissioning
parameter ‘picPool’’.
- BTS supports maximum 4 PIC pools.
- A PIC pool is a collection of cells, in which IC is configured. A PIC pool supports up to 6 cells, which are candidates
for IC, with each cell having up to 2 antennas.
- Dedicated resource block is allocated for a PIC pool - see BTS Baseband in Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Flexi
BTS Baseband and Dimensioning WCDMA RAN: Ultra BTS baseband documents.
- BTS Manager sends the PIC Pool Configuration to BTS.
- All cells mapped to a PIC pool must be a part of the same LCG.
- There are 3 PIC states for each cell in a PIC pool: ‘active’, ‘deactivated’ and ‘automatic’. The PIC states of the
cells in a PIC pool are configured by RNC. Initially all the cells in a PIC pool are in ‘deactivated’ state.
- BTS applies IC to a cell with PIC state ‘active’.
- BTS does not apply IC to a cell with PIC state ‘deactivated’.
- BTS applies IC to a cell with PIC state ‘automatic’ depending on the number of cells with PIC state ‘active’ in the
same PIC pool.
- BTS supports maximum 3 cells with IC per PIC pool, with each cell having up to 2 antennas.
- BTS supports HSUPA IC with activated FDE in the same cell at the same time.
RAN1645: HSUPA 16QAM – RU40
RAN1645: HSUPA 16QAM
• enables 11.5 Mbit/s peak UL data rate by sending four bits per symbol instead of two
- 16QAM modulation is supported by HSUPA terminal category 7

- 11.5 Mbit/s is the maximum theoretical throughput
- practical throughput achievable with this feature is limited by radio channel conditions, interference level,
allowed noise rise, and both receiver and transmitter imperfections
- a better SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) is required to achieve the same BER (bit error rate).
- RAN1645: HSUPA 16QAM is an optional feature for the UE
- the 16QAM capability is signaled to the RNC in the RRC connection setup.

Application Aware RAN – RU40
RAN2509: Application Aware RAN – new in RU40 1/2
• introduces dynamic service or application prioritization for HSPA scheduling
• prioritization is done dynamically between bearers, according to the service actually used in a bearer
• introduces dynamic prioritization of UL traffic for single NRT RAB users
The dynamic SPI priority change in the BTS comprises the following new functions:
• dynamic change of HSDPA scheduling priority for each MAC-d priority queue
• dynamic change of HSUPA scheduling priority together with DL priority
• reflecting dynamically changed priority by modifying radio interface credit allocations, for both
cases: non-congested or congested radio interface
