WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA Feature Parameter Description 2 Overview
2 Overview
Similar to Long Term Evolution (LTE), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is also influenced
by multi-carrier aggregation. Multi-carrier aggregation enables HSPA to obtain higher
bandwidth, better performance, and greater user throughput. The user throughput of multi-carrier
HSPA can be twice or more times that of single-carrier HSPA.
In versions earlier than 3GPP Release 8, a UE uses only a single carrier for HSDPA transmission.
The use of a single carrier for HSDPA transmission is referred to as SC-HSDPA in this document.
3GPP Release 8 introduces DC-HSDPA. DC-HSDPA uses two adjacent carriers for HSDPA
transmission of a UE, doubling UE downlink throughput. 3GPP Release 10 (TS 25.331)
enhances DC-HSDPA by allowing two non-adjacent carriers for HSDPA transmission of a UE.
Table 2-1describes the requirements of DC-HSDPA for network elements (NEs).
Table 2-1 Requirements for NEs
Item Requirement
CN None
RNC The RNC must support the Downlink Enhanced L2 feature.

The RNC must provide the radio bearer scheme for DC-HSDPA.
NodeB The NodeB must support MAC-ehs. A single MAC-ehs entity supports HS-
DSCH transmission in multiple cells served by the same NodeB (FDD
only).
UE In 3GPP Release 8, HS-DSCH UE categories 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28,
29, 30, 31, and 32 are introduced to support DC-HSDPA. In 3GPP Release
9 or later, more HS-DSCH UE categories are introduced to support DC-
HSDPA.

WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA Feature Parameter Description 3 Basic Principle
3 Basic Principle
3.1 Overview
DC-HSDPA allows a UE to set up HSDPA connections with two inter-frequency co-coverage
cells. In the downlink, the UE can simultaneously receive data over HS-DSCHs in the two cells.
In the uplink, the UE using the DCH or SC-HSUPA transmits data only in the primary cell. This
document describes only the DC-HSDPA UEs whose uplink connections are established on the
DCH or SC-HSUPA. For details about the DC-HSDPA UEs whose uplink connections are
established on the DC-HSUPA, see DC-HSUPA Feature Parameter Description.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of uplink and downlink data transmission for a DC-HSDPA UE.
Figure 3-1 Example of uplink and downlink data transmission for a DC-HSDPA UE
The two cells (primary cell and secondary cell) of DC-HSDPA must meet the following
restrictions:

WCDMA RAN
l The two cells belong to the same sector of a NodeB and are inter-frequency co-coverage
cells.
l The two cells are in the same downlink resource group of a NodeB.
l The two cells operate on frequencies that belong to the same frequency band.
The frequencies can be either adjacent or non-adjacent. Two frequencies are considered adjacent
if the spacing between their center frequencies is less than or equal to 5 MHz. Two frequencies
are considered non-adjacent if the spacing between their center frequencies is an integer multiple
of 5 MHz. Figure 3-2 shows adjacent and non-adjacent frequencies.
Figure 3-2 Adjacent and non-adjacent frequencies
l The two cells have the same time offset (specified by the Tcell(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter).
l The two cells support HSDPA and the Downlink Enhanced L2 feature.
l The dual cell transmission applies only to HSDPA physical channels.
DC-HSDPA improves the throughput and delay of users in the whole cell even at the cell edge.
Theoretically, DC-HSDPA with 64QAM provides a downlink peak data rate of 42 Mbit/s, which
is twice the peak rate provided by 64QAM.
In multioperator core network (MOCN) or RAN sharing scenarios, the two DC-HSDPA cells
can belong to different operators.
3.2 DC-HSDPA Cells
3.2.1 Primary and Secondary Cells

A DC-HSDPA group consists of two cells: the primary cell and secondary cell.

WCDMA RAN
From the UE perspective:
l Primary cell (also called anchor cell) carries all the types of channels for a UE. Each UE
has only one primary cell.
l Secondary cell (also called supplementary cell) carries only three types of downlink (DL)
channels for a UE. Each UE has only one secondary cell.
The three types of DL channels are as follows:
– HS-SCCH
– HS-PDSCH
– P-CPICH
The UARFCNDownlink(BSC6900,BSC6910) and UARFCNUplink(BSC6900,BSC6910)

parameters in the MOD UCELLSETUP command specify the downlink and uplink operating
frequency of a cell, respectively.
Figure 3-3 shows the physical channels available for a DC-HSDPA UE.
Figure 3-3 Cell configuration from the UE perspective
When the cells in a DC-HSDPA group are configured with the same types of common channels
as shown in Figure 3-4, either cell can serve as a primary cell. In addition, both cells can provide
services for SC-HSDPA and R99 users. The RNC selects a primary cell for a DC-HSDPA UE
based on the cell load and radio bearer policy. For details, see section 4.5.1 RAB DRD.
If a DC-HSDPA cell also has multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) enabled, the DC-HSDPA
cell can be configured with an S-CPICH.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 3-4 Primary and secondary cells configured with the same types of common channels
If the primary cell is configured with all the common channels shown in Figure 3-4, and if the
secondary cell is configured with the HS-PDSCH, HS-SCCH, and P-CPICH, the secondary cell
cannot provide services for SC-HSDPA and R99 users. Currently, Huawei DC-HSDPA does
not support such configurations.
3.2.2 Multi-Carrier Cell Groups

DC-HSDPA requires two inter-frequency co-coverage cells. These two cells are configured as
a multi-carrier cell group on the NodeB side as follows:
1. Run the NodeB MML command ADD NODEBMULTICELLGRP to add a multi-carrier

cell group.
2. Run the NodeB MML command ADD NODEBMULTICELLGRPITEM to add the two
DC-HSDPA cells to the multi-carrier cell group.
The NodeB reports information about cells in each multi-carrier cell group to the RNC over the
Iub interface. The RNC selects a primary cell and a secondary cell for a DC-HSDPA UE based
on the received cell information. For details, see section 4.5.1 RAB DRD.
NOTE
When the cells in a DC-HSDPA cell group operate on non-adjacent frequencies, UEs must support non-
adjacent frequencies in the same frequency band.
The Tcell(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter must be set to the same value for the cells in a DC-HSDPA cell
group.
After an upgrade to RAN15.0, DC-HSDPA cell groups are configured and managed through the
ADD/RMV/LST NODEBMULTICELLGRP commands, and existing DC-HSDPA cell
groups automatically change to multi-carrier cell groups. In RAN13.0, DC-HSDPA cell groups
are configured and managed through the ADD/RMV/LST DUALCELLGRP commands. In
RAN14.0, DC-HSDPA cell groups are configured and managed through the ADD/RMV/LST
DLDUALCELLGRP commands.

WCDMA RAN
3.3 DC-HSDPA+MIMO Cells

Configuration Modes of DC-HSDPA+MIMO Cell Groups
Figure 3-5 shows the configuration modes of the two cells in a DC-HSDPA+MIMO cell group.
Figure 3-5 Configuration modes of the two cells in a DC-HSDPA+MIMO cell group
The configuration modes allowed by DC-HSDPA cell groups are listed in Table 3-1.

3.4 Channel Mapping

WCDMA RAN
3.4.1 Overview
Figure 3-6 Channel mapping of DC-HSDPA
A DC-HSDPA UE receives two HS-DSCH transport channels from two cells of the same NodeB.
Each HS-DSCH is mapped to one HS-SCCH and several HS-PDSCH physical channels.
All dedicated physical control channels DPCCH and DPCH/F-DPCH in the uplink and downlink
are carried on the primary cell.
3.4.2 HS-SCCH
In versions earlier than 3GPP Release 8, a UE can monitor a maximum of four HS-SCCHs at
the same time, according to 3GPP TS 25.214. In a DC-HSDPA cell group, the HS-SCCHs on
the primary cell are independent of those on the secondary cell. A UE can monitor a maximum
of six HS-SCCHs at the same time. In each cell, the UE can monitor a maximum of three HS-
SCCHs at the same time.
There are three types of HS-SCCHs: type 1 for cells enabled with neither MIMO nor HS-SCCH
Less Operation, type 2 for cells enabled with HS-SCCH Less Operation, and type 3 for cells
enabled with MIMO. DC-HSDPA uses only HS-SCCH type 1. DC-HSDPA with HS-SCCH
Less Operation uses HS-SCCH type 2.
HS-SCCH Less Operation applies only to the primary cell. In addition, HS-SCCH Less
Operation is mutually exclusive with MIMO.
For details, see section 6A.1.1 UE procedure for receiving HS-DSCH and HS-SCCH in the
CELL_DCH state in 3GPP TS 25.214 V9.8.0.
3.4.3 HS-DPCCH
The DC-HSDPA UE reports the CQI and HARQ ACK/NACK information about the two cells
on the HS-DPCCH in the primary cell. The HS-DPCCH uses a new frame format that enables
it to carry CQI and HARQ ACK/NACK information about the two cells in a transmission time
interval (TTI).

WCDMA RAN
The coding and multiplexing schemes for the HS-DPCCH are enhanced to support DC-HSDPA
+MIMO. The HS-DPCCH has four coding and multiplexing schemes, which are applicable to
the following scenarios:
l HSDPA: The UE is not configured in MIMO mode, and the secondary cell is not configured
or activated.
l MIMO: The UE is configured in MIMO mode or DC-HSDPA+MIMO mode, and the
secondary cell is not configured or activated.
l DC-HSDPA: The UE is not configured in MIMO mode, and the secondary cell is activated.
l DC-HSDPA+MIMO: The UE is configured in MIMO mode, and the secondary cell is
activated.
Figure 3-7 shows the coding and multiplexing scheme for the HS-DPCCH when DC-HSDPA
+MIMO is enabled.
Figure 3-7 Coding and multiplexing scheme for the HS-DPCCH when DC-HSDPA+MIMO is
enabled
The ACK and NACK messages are coded and multiplexed onto the same timeslot of a subframe.
The Precoding Control Indication (PCI) and Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) are multiplexed
onto different subframes by using Time Division Multiplexing (TDM).
If a UE is configured in MIMO mode in one cell of a DC-HSDPA cell group, the coding schemes
are as follows:
l The coding scheme for HARQ-ACK is the same as that used by a UE configured in MIMO
mode in both cells of a DC-HSDPA cell group.
l If the cell is configured with MIMO, the coding and multiplexing scheme for the PCI and
CQI is the same as that for HS-DPCCH in MIMO scenarios.
l If the cell is not configured with MIMO, the coding and multiplexing scheme for the PCI
and CQI is the same as that for HS-DPCCH in HSDPA scenarios.
For details, see section 4.7 Coding for HS-DPCCH in 3GPP TS 25.212 V10.4.0.
3.5 UE Categories
UEs must belong to HS-DSCH category 21 or higher to support DC-HSDPA and must belong
to HS-DSCH category 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, or 32 to support DC-HSDPA+MIMO, as listed in
Table 3-2. For details about HS-DSCH UE categories, see section 5 Possible UE radio access
capability parameter settings in 3GPP TS 25.306 V10.4.0.

According to 3GPP Release 10, non-adjacent frequencies at the same frequency band can be
used for HSDPA transmission of a UE. The "Non-contiguous multi-cell" IE in the "UE radio
access capability extension" IE in an RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message
specifies whether a UE supports non-adjacent frequencies. A UE's capability to support non-
adjacent frequencies is not related to its HS-DSCH category.
l When the "Aggregated cells" IE in the "Non-contiguous multi-cell" IE is nc-2c, the UE

supports two non-adjacent frequencies at the same frequency band.
l The "Gap size" IE in the "Non-contiguous multi-cell" IE specifies the spacing between the
two non-adjacent frequencies supported by the UE. This IE can be set to fiveMHz, tenMHz,
or anyGapSize. "fiveMHz" indicates that the UE supports a maximum of 5 MHz spacing
between two non-adjacent frequencies. "tenMHz" indicates that the UE supports 5 and 10
MHz spacing between two non-adjacent frequencies. "anyGapSize" indicates that the UE
supports any integer multiples of 5 MHz spacing between two non-adjacent frequencies.
l When a UE does not use DC-HSDPA after accessing a DC-HSDPA cell, the RNC performs
fallback on the UE if the UE belongs to a certain HS-DSCH category. For details about
HS-DSCH categories that support fallback in such a circumstance, see section 8.1.6
Transmission of UE capability information in 3GPP TS 25.331 V10.10.0.
The peak rate of a DC-HSDPA UE can reach 42.192 Mbit/s (= 2 x TB_Size/TTI = 2 x 42192/2)
at the MAC layer. The peak rate of a DC-HSDPA+MIMO UE can reach 84.384 Mbit/s (= 2 x
2 x TB_Size/TTI = 2 X 2 X 42192/2) at the MAC layer. These peak rates require the support
from the CN.

WCDMA RAN
3.6 NodeB MAC-ehs

DC-HSDPA requires the NodeB to support MAC-ehs. A single MAC-ehs entity supports HS-
DSCH transmission in more than one cell served by the same NodeB (FDD only). Queues of a
DC-HSDPA UE are common for the two cells. The scheduler in the NodeB arranges the data
transmission of queues on the two cells. DC-HSDPA transmissions can be regarded as
independent transmissions over two HS-DSCH channels. There will be a separate HARQ entity
on each HS-DSCH channel, that is, one HARQ process per TTI for single carrier transmission
and two HARQ processes per TTI for dual carrier transmission.
MAC-ehs selects Transport Format and Resource Combination (TFRC) for the MAC-ehs
Protocol Data Units (PDUs) of each cell independently based on the available resources of the
cells and the CQI reported by the UE.
Figure 3-8 MAC-ehs architecture
In a NodeB, two MAC-ehs PDUs can be scheduled at the same time. Figure 3-9 shows an
example of traffic flow to a DC-HSDPA UE.

3.7 Impact on Interfaces
3.7.1 Overview
To support DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO, new Information Elements (IEs) are added to
signaling messages.
UEs and NodeBs can report their capacity of DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO to the RNC
through the Iub and Uu interfaces.
l The RNC instructs cells to set up or reconfigure radio links with DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA
+MIMO through the Iub interface.
l The RNC instructs UEs to set up or reconfigure radio bearers with DC-HSDPA/DC-
HSDPA+MIMO through the Uu interface.
3.7.2 Impact on Iub

When a cell receives the AUDIT REQUEST message or when a new cell is set up or a cell
capability is changed, the NodeB reports the cell capability to the RNC in Audit Response
message or Resource State Indication message
l When a cell supports DC-HSDPA, the NodeB sets the Multi Cell Capability Info IE to
Multi Cell Capable for the cell in Audit Response and sends the message to the RNC.
l If the cell is a primary serving cell, all the possible secondary serving cells in the same
sector must be listed in the Possible Secondary Cell List IE.
When the RNC instructs a cell to set up a radio link with DC-HSDPA, the information of the
secondary serving cell is added to the Radio Link Setup procedure or Radio Link Addition
procedure.

WCDMA RAN
The Additional HS Cell Information RL Setup IE is added to the Radio Link Setup Request/
Response/Failure messages and Radio Link Addition Request/Response/Failure messages to
indicate the usage of DC-HSDPA and associated parameters.
3.7.3 Impact on Uu
In the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message, the Multi cell support IE is added to indicate
the UE capability of supporting multiple cells.
In the RRC Connection Setup Complete and UE Capability Information message, the Physical
Channel Capability IE is extended to indicate the UE capability of DC-HSDPA.
The Downlink secondary cell info FDD IE in the following signaling messages indicates the
usage of secondary serving cell and related parameters:
l RRC CONNECTION SETUP

l ACTIVE SET UPDATE
l CELL UPDATE CONFIRM
l PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION
l TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION
l RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION
l RADIO BEARER RELEASE

DC-HSDPA Feature Parameter Description 4 Technical Description
4 Technical Description
4.1 Overview
This document describes only the functions that are different from those of SC-HSDPA.
These functions are as follows:
l Radio Bearers
l State transition
l Mobility management
l Load control
l Scheduling
For details about other functions, see HSDPA Feature Parameter Description.
4.2 Radio Bearers

When the downlink transport channel HS-DSCH is selected for streaming or BE services or
combined service with streaming or BE, DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO can be applied.
When there is only a CS service, PS conversational service, IMS signaling, or SRB signaling,
DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO is not applied because of small traffic volume.
To enable DC-HSDPA to carry services, perform the following configurations:
l On the NodeB side

Configure DC-HSDPA cells. For details about how to configure DC-HSDPA cells, see
section 3.2 DC-HSDPA Cells.
l On the RNC side
– Select CFG_HSDPA_DC_SWITCH in the RNC-level parameter CfgSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) to enable DC-HSDPA to carry services. The CfgSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is in the SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH command.
– Select DC_HSDPA in the cell-level parameter HspaPlusSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) to enable DC-HSDPA in the cell. The HspaPlusSwitch

WCDMA RAN
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set in the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH and MOD

UCELLALGOSWITCH commands.
– Set MIMO64QAMorDcHSDPASwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) in the SET UFRC
command to DC_HSDPA to select DC-HSDPA as the preferential HSPA+ technology
for the cell.
When both the network and the UE support DC-HSDPA, the UE can use DC-HSDPA for data
transmission, regardless of the UE's subscribed rate. That is, the UE can use DC-HSDPA for
data transmission even if the UE's subscribed rate is less than 42 Mbit/s. For details, see Radio
Bearers Feature Parameter Description.
The Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC) function can be enabled in the DC-HSDPA cells
with the following limitations:
l CPC DTX is applicable to primary cell only because there will be no uplink control channel
for the DC-HSDPA UE on secondary cell
l CPC HS-SCCH Less Operation is applicable to primary cell only and is not applicable to
secondary cell.
l CPC DRX for a DC-HSDPA UE on two carriers is similar to that for a UE on a single cell.
DC-HSDPA and 64QAM can be used at the same time. 64QAM can be enabled in one or
both cells in a DC-HSDPA cell group. When both cells in a DC-HSDPA cell group have
64QAM enabled, the peak downlink rate can reach 42 Mbit/s.
When a file is being downloaded, the TCP acknowledgement is sent in the uplink. The
higher the rate of download is, the larger the bandwidth is required in the uplink. If the
download rate reaches up to 42 Mbit/s, the uplink rate of TCP acknowledgement is much
higher than 384 kbit/s, the highest supported by the DCH. HSUPA is required to provide
high bandwidth in the uplink to transmit TCP acknowledgement without delay. The
downlink rate of 42 Mbit/s per user can be supported only when HSUPA is used.
Only UEs complying with 3GPP Release 9 and later support DC-HSDPA+MIMO. Table 4-1
describes the implementation of DC-HSDPA+MIMO in Huawei products.

When the HS-DSCH is used for data transmission, the radio bearer policy of DC-HSDPA
+MIMO is as follows:

WCDMA RAN
l If a cell and UEs in this cell support DC-HSDPA+MIMO, services of these UEs use DC-
HSDPA+MIMO.
l If a cell and UEs in this cell support only DC-HSDPA or MIMO, services of these UEs use
only DC-HSDPA or MIMO.
l If a cell and UEs in this cell support both DC-HSDPA and MIMO but do not support DC-
HSDPA+MIMO, services of these UEs use the preferred HSPA+ technology for the cell.
The preferred HSPA+ technology for a cell is specified by the
MIMO64QAMorDCHSDPASwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the SET UFRC
command.
NOTE
For details about transport channel selection, see Radio Bearers Feature Parameter Description.
4.3 State Transition

DC-HSDPA UEs only support the CELL_DCH state. After DC-HSDPA UEs transition to other
states, they cannot be carried on DC-HSDPA. DC-HSDPA UEs can perform state transition only
in the primary cell.
When a UE supporting DC-HSDPA transitions from the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or

URA_PCH state to the CELL_DCH state, the RNC establishes a DC-HSDPA radio bearer (RB)
for the UE. After the state transition is complete, the RNC performs RAB DRD to select an
appropriate DC-HSDPA group for the UE. For details, see section 4.5.1 RAB DRD.
NOTE
DC-HSDPA RB refers to the HSDPA RB that has DC-HSDPA enabled.
The state transition trigger threshold for DC-HSDPA UEs is the same as that for SC-HSDPA
UEs. For details, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description.
DC-HSDPA+MIMO applies the same principles as DC-HSDPA in state transition.
4.4 Mobility Management
4.4.1 Overview
The introduction of DC-HSDPA has no impact on handover measurement triggering and
handover decision processes. During a handover, however, the RNC needs to decide whether
DC-HSDPA is used after the handover if the target cell supports DC-HSDPA, or whether non-
DC-HSDPA is used after the handover if the target cell does not support DC-HSDPA.
This section describes only the mobility management of DC-HSDPA. For other information
about handover, see Handover Feature Parameter Description.
4.4.2 Measurement Control

When DC-HSDPA is enabled, the RNC maintains the active set only in the primary cell.
Intra-frequency measurement control for DC-HSDPA UEs is the same as that for SC-HSDPA
UEs.

WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA UEs can perform inter-frequency measurements in the following modes:
l Compressed mode
Inter-frequency measurement control for DC-HSDPA UEs in compressed mode is the same
as that for SC-HSDPA UEs in compressed mode.
l Non-compressed mode
DC-HSDPA UEs perform inter-frequency measurements in non-compressed mode when
all of the following conditions are met:
– CMP_UU_ADJACENT_FREQ_CM_SWITCH in the CmpSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter for the SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH command
is selected.
When CMP_UU_ADJACENT_FREQ_CM_SWITCH is selected, the UE can
perform inter-frequency measurements in non-compressed mode on frequencies spaced
less than or equal to 5 MHz from the operating frequency of the UE. For a DC-HSDPA
network, it is recommended that this switch be turned off, because the UE currently
cannot report whether it is allowed to use the non-compressed mode for frequencies of
neighboring cells within 5 MHz from the current frequency.
– The value of the following IE in the RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE
message sent by the UE is TRUE: "UE radio access capability" IE > "Measurement
capability" IE > "Adjacent frequency measurements without compressed mode" IE.
– If UEs are performing DC-HSDPA services, the UE performs inter-frequency
measurements only in the cells operating on the same frequency as the secondary cell
and the frequency is spaced less than or equal to 5 MHz from the operating frequency
of the current cell.
– If UEs are not performing DC-HSDPA services, the UE performs inter-frequency
measurements in the cells that meet the following conditions:
-The cells operate on the same frequency at the same frequency band as the current cell.
-The cells operate on frequencies whose center frequencies are spaced less than or equal
to 5 MHz away from the center frequency of the current cell.
-All cells to be measured operate on the same frequency.
4.4.3 Intra-Frequency Handover

When receiving a measurement report from a DC-HSDPA UE indicating that the signal quality
of a DC-HSDPA cell is better than that of the serving cell (a DC-HSDPA cell), the RNC decides
whether to perform a DC-HSDPA handover to the target cell:
l If the admission to the target cell is allowed and the radio link configuration is successful,
the RNC performs the handover.
l If the admission to the target cell is allowed but the radio link configuration is unsuccessful,
the RNC reconfigures the service on SC-HSDPA and then performs an SC-HSDPA
handover.
l If the admission to the target cell is not allowed, the RNC reconfigures the service on the
DCH and performs a DCH handover:
– If the DCH handover is allowed, the RNC performs the handover.
– Otherwise, the RNC does not perform the handover.

WCDMA RAN
4.4.4 Inter-Frequency Handover

During an inter-frequency handover, the DC-HSDPA UE needs to measure the signal quality of
the primary cell and its neighboring cells. If the secondary cell is a neighboring cell of the primary
cell, the DC-HSDPA UE also needs to measure the signal quality of the secondary cell. The
inter-frequency handover process for DC-HSDPA UEs is the same as that for SC-HSDPA UEs.
For details about inter-frequency handovers, see Handover Feature Parameter Description.
4.4.5 Handover from a DC-HSDPA Cell to a Non-DC-HSDPA Cell

Upon receiving a measurement report from a DC-HSDPA UE indicating that the signal quality
of an inter-frequency non-DC-HSDPA cell is better than that of the serving cell (a DC-HSDPA
cell), the RNC initiates an RB reconfiguration procedure to make the service be carried on the
DCH or HSDPA and meanwhile performs a handover.
Upon receiving a measurement report carrying the signal quality of intra-frequency non-DC-
HSDPA cells, the RNC performs different operations in different scenarios. Details are as
follows:
l If an intra-frequency non-DC-HSDPA cell in the active set reports event 1D:

– The RNC initiates an RB reconfiguration procedure to make the service be carried on
the DCH or HSDPA and meanwhile initiates a serving cell change procedure when
CMP_UU_SERV_CELL_CHG_WITH_RB_MOD_SWITCH in the CmpSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is selected.
the DCH or HSDPA and then initiates a serving cell change procedure when
CMP_UU_SERV_CELL_CHG_WITH_RB_MOD_SWITCH in the CmpSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is deselected.
l If an intra-frequency non-DC-HSDPA cell outside the active set reports event 1D:
the DCH or HSDPA and then initiates an active set update procedure with serving cell
change when CMP_UU_SERV_CELL_CHG_WITH_ASU_SWITCH in the
CmpSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is selected.
the DCH or HSDPA, initiates an active set update procedure, and then initiates a serving
cell change procedure when
CMP_UU_SERV_CELL_CHG_WITH_ASU_SWITCH in the CmpSwitch
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is deselected.
The CmpSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set using the SET

UCORRMALGOSWITCH command.
4.4.6 Handover from a Non-DC-HSDPA Cell to a DC-HSDPA Cell

Upon receiving a measurement report indicating that the signal quality of a DC-HSDPA cell is
better than that of the serving cell (a non-HSDPA cell), the RNC performs a handover after
which the HSPA+ technologies supported by both the source cell and the target cell are used in
the target cell. If such HSPA+ technologies are ranked lower than some HSPA+ technologies
supported by both the target cell and the UE, the ChannelRetryHoTimerLen
(BSC6900,BSC6910) timer is started after the handover. When the timer expires, the RNC tries
to reconfigure the traffic radio bearer (TRB) and signaling radio bearer (SRB) to enable them

WCDMA RAN
to support the higher-ranked HSPA+ technologies. If the reconfiguration fails, the RNC starts
the retry timer (ChannelRetryTimerLen(BSC6900,BSC6910)) for periodic retry attempts.
The HSPA+ technologies that can be retried are specified by the parameter RetryCapability
(BSC6900,BSC6910) in the SET UFRC command.
The ChannelRetryHoTimerLen(BSC6900,BSC6910) and ChannelRetryTimerLen

(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters are set using the SET UCOIFTIMER command.
4.4.7 Inter-RAT Handover

The inter-RAT handover process for DC-HSDPA UEs is the same as that for SC-HSDPA UEs.
For details about inter-RAT handovers, see Handover Feature Parameter Description.
After a UE is handed over to a DC-HSDPA cell from a cell belonging to another RAT, the UE
is carried on HSDPA. The RNC starts a retry timer as soon as the handover is complete. When
the timer expires, the RNC initiates an RB reconfiguration procedure to make the UE carried on
DC-HSDPA or a higher HSPA+ technology. If the reconfiguration fails, the RNC starts the retry
timer for periodic DRD.
The ChannelRetryTimerLen(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the SET UCOIFTIMER

command specifies the retry timer.
4.4.8 Handover Between RNCs

The current version does not support the handover between different RNCs for DC-HSDPA
users.
During the handover, if the target cell is from different RNC, the DC-HSDPA user falls back to
SC-HSDPA and then the handover is performed.
Upon completion of the handover, if DC-HSDPA is included in HSPA technologies that can be
retried by UEs (that is, DC-HSDPA under the RetryCapability(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter
is turned on) and the handover target cell supports DC-HSDPA, the RNC will attempt to switch
the services on DC-HSDPA RABs.
4.5 Load Control
4.5.1 RAB DRD

During a RAB setup or a state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH, the RNC performs
DRDs to select a primary cell and a secondary cell for DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs.
This section describes the DRD for DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs. For more details
about DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
DRD Procedure
Figure 4-1 outlines the DRD procedure.

WCDMA RAN
Figure 4-1 DRD procedure

WCDMA RAN
1. The RNC selects cells that meet the quality requirements of inter-frequency DRD as
candidate cells.
For details about the quality requirements of inter-frequency DRD, see section 4.2.1 "Inter-
Frequency DRD" in Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
2. The RNC performs the following operations to select a cell from candidate cells as the
primary cell.
When DRD for device type steering is enabled, the RNC selects the candidate cell with the
highest device type steering priority as the primary cell and proceeds to step 3. If multiple
candidate cells all have the highest device type steering priority or if DRD for device type
steering is disabled, proceed to step (b).
For details about how to select candidate cells based on device type steering, see section
4.2.2 "Inter-Frequency DRD for Device Type Steering" in Directed Retry Decision Feature
(b) When DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is enabled, the RNC selects the
candidate cell with the highest HSPA+ technological satisfaction as the primary cell and
proceeds to step 3. If multiple candidate cells all have the highest HSPA+ technological
satisfaction or if DRD for HSPA+ technological satisfaction is disabled, proceed to step
(c).
For details about how to select candidate cells based on the HSPA+ technological
satisfaction, see section 4.2.3 "Inter-Frequency DRD for Technological Satisfaction" in
Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
(c) When DRD for service steering is enabled, the RNC selects the candidate cell with the
highest service priority as the primary cell and proceeds to step 3. If multiple candidate
cells all have the highest service priority or if DRD for service steering is disabled, proceed
to step (d).
For details about how to select candidate cells based on the service priority, see section
Service Priority-based Cell Selection.
(d) When DRD for UE location is enabled, the RNC selects a candidate cell as the primary
cell based on DRD for UE location and proceeds to step 3. If multiple candidate cells meet
the requirements of DRD for UE location, proceed to step (e).
For details about how to select candidate cells based on the frequency band priority, see
section 4.2.5 "Multiband Direct Retry Based on UE Location" in Directed Retry Decision
Feature Parameter Description.
(e) When DRD for load balancing is enabled, the RNC selects the candidate cell with the
lightest downlink load based on downlink load balancing. For a DC-HSDPA cell, the RNC
considers the downlink load of the corresponding DC-HSDPA group, not the downlink
load of the DC-HSDPA cell. Therefore, the RNC selects at least two cells in the same DC-
HSDPA group as candidate cells. Then, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest load as
the primary cell based on uplink load balancing and proceeds to step 3.
For details about how to select cells based on downlink load balancing, see Downlink
Load-based Cell Selection. For details about how to select cells based on uplink load
balancing, see Uplink Load-based Cell Selection.
3. The RNC selects the other cell in the DC-HSDPA group to which the primary cell belongs
as the secondary cell. The DRD procedure is complete. Then, the RNC performs call
admission control (CAC). For details, see section 4.2.1 "Inter-Frequency DRD" in Directed
Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
The HSPA technological satisfaction of DC-HSDPA cells is the same as that of SC-HSDPA cells. When
all of the preceding DRD functions are disabled, the RNC instructs the UE to access the cell with the highest
HSPA technological satisfaction. If the access fails, the RNC randomly selects a cell from candidate cells
for the UE. If the cell supports DC-HSDPA, the cell serves as the primary cell, and the other cell in the
DC-HSDPA group serves as the secondary cell. If the cell does not support DC-HSDPA, the UE accesses
the cell with the highest technology supported by the cell.
Service Priority-based Cell Selection

The service priority-based cell selection for DC-HSDPA UEs is the same as the target cell
selection for SC-HSDPA UEs.
When multiple candidate cells support the same HSPA+ technologies, the RNC determines the
service priorities of cells based on the uplink and downlink service bearers for the UE if DRD
for service steering is enabled. The RNC then ranks candidate cells according to service priority
and selects the cell with the highest service priority as the candidate cell.
The RNC uses HSDPA as the downlink service bearer for DC-HSDPA UEs.
If the requested service is combined services, the RNC uses the RAB with the highest priority
for ranking. In addition, the selected cell must support all services in the combined services. For
details about the priority of a RAB, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
For details about how to select cells based on the service priority, see section 4.2.4 "Inter-
Frequency DRD for Service Steering" in Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter
Description.
Downlink Load-based Cell Selection

The DRD for load balancing function for DC-HSDPA UEs is performed based on the number
of power resources available in the downlink and is basically the same as the downlink load
balancing-based DRD for SC-HSDPA UEs. The only difference is that the RNC considers the
load of the DC-HSDPA group to which the candidate cell belongs when performing DRD based
on load balancing for DC-HSDPA UEs.
For details about the downlink load balancing-based DRD, see section 4.2.6 "Inter-Frequency
DRD for Load Balancing" in Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
Uplink Load-based Cell Selection

DC-HSDPA UEs have uplink channels only in the primary cell. If a large number of DC-HSDPA
UEs use a cell as the primary cell, the uplink load of the cell increases, and the uplink coverage
deteriorates. The uplink load-based cell selection function helps balance the uplink load between
two carriers.
l If the uplink load balancing switch ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA(BSC6900,BSC6910) is
set to OFF, the RNC randomly selects a cell from candidate cells as the primary cell.
l If this switch is set to ON, the RNC selects the cell with the lightest uplink load as the
candidate primary cell.
The RNC performs the uplink load balancing between candidate cells based on the equivalent
number of users (ENUs) in the uplink.
The uplink load balancing-based DRD for DC-HSDPA is as follows:

WCDMA RAN
1. If the UE initiates an RRC connection request in a non-candidate cell, the RNC selects the
cell with the lightest uplink load from candidate cells as the primary cell.
2. In other circumstances, the RNC checks whether the remaining uplink ENUs of the current
cell are greater than the value of the ULLdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCHSDPA
(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
l If the remaining uplink ENUs of the current cell are greater than the value of the
ULLdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCHSDPA(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter, the RNC
selects the current cell as the primary cell.
l If the remaining uplink ENUs of the current cell are less than or equal to the value of the
ULLdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCHSDPA(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter, the RNC
calculates the difference between the remaining uplink ENUs of the candidate primary cell
and that of the current cell.
– If the difference is greater than the value of ULLdbDRDOffsetDcHSDPA
(BSC6900,BSC6910), the RNC selects the candidate primary cell as the primary cell.
– Otherwise, the RNC selects the current cell as the primary cell.
After selecting the primary cell, the RNC selects the other cell in the same DC-HSDPA group
as the secondary cell.
4.5.2 Call Admission Control

Overview
In terms of Call Admission Control (CAC) based on the code resource, CE resource, or Iub
resource, DC-HSDPA CAC is not changed, compared with SC-HSDPA CAC.
In terms of CAC based on the DL power or equivalent number of users (ENU), DC-HSDPA
CAC is changed, that is, the resources of the DC-HSDPA cell group need to be considered.
CAC Based on the DL Power

Figure 4-2 shows the resource allocation in the two cells of a DC-HSDPA cell group. In this
figure, the DL power is taken as an example.
Figure 4-2 DL power of a DC-HSDPA cell group

WCDMA RAN
The variables in Figure 4-2 are described as follows:
l Pmax: maximum DL power of a cell

l Pnon-HSPA: DL power used for non-HSPA UEs in a cell
l GBPSC-H: DL power required by the HS-PDSCHs to provide GBRs for SC-HSDPA UEs
in a cell.
l GBPDC-H: DL power required by the HS-PDSCHs to provide GBRs for the DC-HSDPA
UEs in the DC-HSDPA cell group.
For a DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs CAC based on the total DL power margin of the DC-
HSDPA cell group because the UE can use the DL power margin of any of the two cells after
the admission.
For a non-DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs CAC based on the total DL power of the serving
cell minus the DL power used for the existing non-DC-HSDPA UEs in this cell. If the admission
is successful, the RNC continues to perform the CAC based on the total DL power margin of
the DC-HSDPA cell group.
CAC Based on the ENU

The CAC based on the Equivalent Number of Users (ENU) is similar to CAC based on the DL
power.
For a DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs CAC based on the total ENU of the DC-HSDPA cell
group.
For a non-DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC first performs CAC based on the ENU of the serving cell.
If the admission is successful, the RNC then continues to perform the CAC based on the ENU
of the DC-HSDPA cell group.
CAC Based on the Number of HSDPA Users

The HSDPA services have to make admission decision based on the number of HSDPA users.
The DC-HSDPA costs only one HSDPA license user in the primary cell.
4.5.3 Queuing and Preemption

The UE requesting DC-HSDPA services will be queued in the selected primary cell. The queuing
principle is the same as that described in the Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
For DC-HSDPA services, the RNC selects the primary cell in the DC-HSDPA cell group to
perform preemption.
4.5.4 Load Reshuffling and Overload Control

The power resources of a DC-HSDPA group may be in the basic congestion or overload state.
Basic congestion is triggered when the sum of non-HSPA user power and HSPA user GBP of
the two cells is greater than or equal to the sum of the downlink LDR trigger thresholds for the
two cells. Overload is triggered when the sum of non-HSPA user power and HSPA user GBP
of the two cells is greater than or equal to the sum of the downlink OLC trigger thresholds for
the two cells.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
l GBP: Guaranteed Bit rate Power

l LDR: load reshuffling
l OLC: overload control
If a DC-HSDPA group is in the basic congestion or overload state, both cells in the DC-HSDPA
group are in the basic congestion or overload state. Under this condition, the RNC performs load
reshuffling or overload control to relieve the congestion or overload. For details about load
reshuffling and overload control, see sections "LDR Actions" and "OLC Actions" in Load
Control Feature Parameter Description, respectively.
The LDR and OLC for SC-HSDPA and R99 users are always the same, no matter whether they
are in DC-HSDPA cells or non-DC-HSDPA cells.
When LDR is implemented through load-based inter-frequency handovers, the target cell cannot
be a secondary cell of a DC-HSDPA UE if the RNC performs LDR on the DC-HSDPA UE.
Other LDR actions are the same as those before the DC-HSDPA feature is applied. For details,
see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
DC-HSDPA+MIMO applies the same principles as DC-HSDPA in load control.
4.6 Scheduling
The NodeB selects the first cell from the two cells to perform the scheduling process. If the first
cell cannot transmit all the data of a UE, the NodeB selects the second cell to provide services.
After determining the cell, the NodeB needs to determine the queuing of this UE and other UEs
in this cell.
The method of DC-HSDPA scheduling is similar to that of SC-HSDPA scheduling. For details,
see HSDPA Feature Parameter Description. This section describes only the difference between
the two scheduling methods.
The calculation of the scheduling priority of a DC-HSDPA queue needs to consider different
CQIs and Uu rates of the two carriers. In the proportional fair (PF) algorithm and enhanced
proportional fair (EPF) algorithm, R/r used for DC-HSDPA is different from that used for SC-
HSDPA:
l For SC-HSDPA, R represents the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE
for this carrier, and r represents the throughput currently achieved by the UE. A greater R/
r value indicates a higher scheduling priority.
l For DC-HSDPA, R represents the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE
for this carrier, and r represents the total throughput currently achieved by the UE on the
two carriers. A greater R/r value indicates a higher scheduling priority.
Scheduling in this way ensures the throughput fairness among DC-HSDPA users and SC-
HSDPA users if they are in the same channel environments. The throughput of DC-HSDPA
users is slightly higher than that of SC-HSDPA users because DC-HSDPA users can be
scheduled in the carrier with higher CQI of the two carriers.
If DC-HSDPA users are expected to have a higher throughput than SC-HSDPA users, you can
apply the differentiated service policy. For details, see Differentiated HSPA Service Feature

WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA+MIMO applies the same principles as DC-HSDPA in scheduling. The TFRC

algorithm used by DC-HSDPA+MIMO is the same as that used by MIMO. For details, see

l WRFD-160103 Terminal Black List

When the WRFD-160103 Terminal Black List feature is enabled, blacklisted users are
prohibited from using DC-HSDPA.
DC-HSDPA affects the following features:
l WRFD-140217 Inter-Frequency Load Balancing Based on Configurable Load Threshold
When the number of DC-HSDPA UEs and their traffic volume are small, DC-HSDPA does
not affect the Inter-Frequency Load Balancing Based on Configurable Load Threshold
feature.
When the number of DC-HSDPA UEs and their traffic volume are large, the gain provided
by the Inter-Frequency Load Balancing Based on Configurable Load Threshold feature
decreases. The reason is as follows: DC-HSDPA uses joint scheduling to balance the load
across different carriers. The load balancing effect depends on the number of DC-HSDPA
UEs and the traffic volume. When the number of DC-HSDPA UEs and the traffic volume
are large, the load balancing effect is noticeable, but the gain provided by the Inter-
Frequency Load Balancing Based on Configurable Load Threshold feature decreases.
l WRFD-140215 Dynamic Configuration of HSDPA CQI Feedback Period
DC-HSDPA can be used with the Dynamic Configuration of HSDPA CQI Feedback Period
feature.
When these two features are used together, the gain (RTWP reduction) provided by the
Dynamic Configuration of HSDPA CQI Feedback Period feature slightly increases,
compared with when SC-HSDPA and Dynamic Configuration of HSDPA CQI Feedback
Period are used together. The uplink CQI feedback overhead for DC-HSDPA is slightly
greater than that for SC-HSDPA, so the received total wideband power (RTWP) of DC-
HSDPA is higher than that of SC-HSDPA. The Dynamic Configuration of HSDPA CQI
Feedback Period feature helps reduce the RTWP.
l WRFD-021304 RAN Sharing Introduction Package, WRFD-021305 RAN Sharing Phase

HSDPA+MIMO must be used together with the WRFD-010683 Downlink 64 QAM feature.

WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA Feature Parameter Description 6 Network Impact
6 Network Impact

System Capacity
DC-HSDPA provides the following benefits:
l Increases single-user downlink peak throughput. DC-HSDPA together with 64QAM

pushes the single-user downlink peak throughput up to 42 Mbit/s.
l Reduces the transmission delay of burst services and improves user experience.
DC-HSDPA UEs have the HS-DPCCH only in the primary cell, and therefore the uplink load
of the primary cell is slightly higher than that of SC-HSDPA cells.
DC-HSDPA UEs consume one channel element (CE) more than SC-HSDPA UEs.
Network Performance
DC-HSDPA affects cell uplink load and cell downlink load.
l Impact on cell uplink load

Compared with SC-HSDPA UEs, DC-HSDPA UEs need to demodulate the signals in the
primary and secondary cells and need to report the feedback about both cells in the primary
cell. The transmit power of a DC-HSDPA UE on the HS-DPCCH is about 2 dB higher than
that of an SC-HSDPA UE. Theoretically, the uplink load of a DC-HSDPA UE in the
primary cell is about 0.2% higher than that of an SC-HSDPA UE. When the penetration
rate of DC-HSDPA UEs is small, this feature has little impact on network performance.
l Impact on cell downlink load
– For cells that have the same HSDPA service priority, DC-HSDPA does not significantly
affect the downlink load.
– For cells that have different HSDPA service priorities, DC-HSDPA increases the
downlink load of the cell with lower HSDPA service priority. The load increase is
related to the proportion of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA and service model.

WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA Feature Parameter Description 6 Network Impact

System Capacity
DC-HSDPA+MIMO provides the following benefits:
l Increases single-user downlink peak throughput. DC-HSDPA+MIMO increases the single-

user downlink throughput by about 100% compared with SC-HSDPA+MIMO. The
increase in the single-user downlink throughput is noticeable even at the cell edge.
However, the increase in the single-user downlink throughput varies depending on the load
of other DC-HSDPA+MIMO cells in the same sector. For example, when other DC-
HSDPA+MIMO cells in the same sector have heavy loads, the gain provided by DC-
HSDPA+MIMO is small.
l Reduces the transmission delay of burst services and improves user experience.
DC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs consume one CE more than SC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs.
A baseband processing board supports more SC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs than DC-HSDPA

+MIMO UEs.
Network Performance
l Slightly increases the cell load in the uplink. The cell load increase is represented by an
increase in the uplink RTWP. The increase in the uplink RTWP varies depending on the
number of online DC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs. When the number of online DC-HSDPA
+MIMO UEs increases, the HS-DPCCH has more data to transmit in the uplink and
consequently requires more power resources. Uplink interference increases as a result.
l Deteriorates uplink cell edge coverage. DC-HSDPA+MIMO slightly deteriorates the
uplink cell edge coverage because DC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs need to report the CQI
information about both serving cells and consequently require higher uplink power.
l For details about the impacts on downlink cell load, see Network Performance.

WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA Feature Parameter Description 7 Engineering Guidelines
7 Engineering Guidelines
7.1.1 When to Use DC-HSDPA

DC-HSDPA applies to operators who have at least two frequencies at the same frequency band.
It is recommended that DC-HSDPA be deployed in urban areas. In the busy time, user-selective
scheduling and load balancing of DC-HSDPA increases capacity. In the spare time, DC-HSDPA
increases maximum user throughput and reduces delay.
DC-HSDPA can be deployed in suburban areas or rural areas. It improves user overall experience
and significantly improves the edge users' experience.
In urban areas where the network capacity is not limited, DC-HSDPA provides more benefits
if most services on the live network are burst services. Details are as follows:
Compared with SC-HSDPA, DC-HSDPA doubles the single-user throughput in the cell center
and at the cell edge. DC-HSDPA also reduces the transmission delay and improves user
experience. However, when the number of UEs performing data transmission increases, the
downlink load increases, and as a result the feature benefits in single-user throughput and cell
throughput decrease.
DC-HSDPA can also be deployed in networks with limited capacity and high downlink load
(for example, the average downlink transmit power is greater than 80% for a long time), but the
feature benefits are less noticeable.
7.1.2 Required Information

Before feature deployment, operators need to collect the following information:
l Proportion of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA
A higher proportion of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA results in better system throughput gains.
The VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.CAT21.24 and VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.CAT25.28 counters measure

the average numbers of DC-HSDPA UEs.

WCDMA RAN
l Uplink capabilities
If dedicated channels (DCHs) are used in the uplink, the downlink peak rates for DC-HSDPA
users are restricted, resulting in decreased gains. HSUPA is recommended in the uplink for DC-
HSDPA.
For details about how to check whether HSUPA is enabled in the uplink, see HSUPA Feature
l Bandwidth over the Iub interface
If the bandwidth over the Iub interface is inadequate, the gains provided by DC-HSDPA are
insignificant. An appropriate bandwidth is required over the Iub interface.
DC-HSDPA provides single-user downlink peak throughput of 42 Mbit/s. The minimum

bandwidth over the Iub interface is 50 M in IP transmission and is 55 M in ATM transmission
considering the Iub transmission efficiency. The actual bandwidth required over the Iub interface
is greater than 50 M because there are R99 users on the live network. The actual bandwidth
required over the Iub interface must be calculated based on network planning and network
optimization.
l Packet loss rate on the core network
If the core network has a high packet loss rate, gains provided by DC-HSDPA decrease during
single-thread FTP sessions. An appropriate packet loss rate is required for the core network.
The recommended packet loss rate over the Iu interface is less than one of a million.
l Downlink cell load
If the downlink loads of cells in the same sector exceed 85% for most of the time, the benefits
provided by DC-HSDPA may decrease.
The VS.MeanTCP counter measures the downlink load of a cell.
7.1.3 Planning
DC-HSDPA sets the following requirements on NodeB hardware:
l For 3900 series base stations, the BBU3900 needs to be configured with the WBBPb,
WBBPd, UBBP, or WBBPf board.
l For the DBS3800, the BBU3806 needs to be configured with the EBBC or EBBCd board.
l The BTS3812AE or BTS3812E needs to be configured with the EBBI, EDLP, or EDLPd
board, and the UL baseband resources of DC-HSDPA cells cannot be carried on the HBBI
or HULP board. They need to be carried on the EBBI, EULP, or EULPd board.
Table 7-1 presents an example of the hardware configuration of a NodeB that is configured with
three sectors, with two carriers in each sector.

Precautions
Activate this feature when the traffic volume in a cell is low. The reason is that the cell must be
deactivated before this feature is activated; after the cell is deactivated, the services in this cell
are interrupted.

WCDMA RAN
Activation
Using MML Commands
Step 1 Change the NodeB's and CN's protocol versions to versions that support DC-HSDPA.
NOTE
3GPP Release 8 and later support DC-HSDPA. It is recommended that the NodeB's protocol version be
set to Release 9 and that the CN's protocol version be set to Release 8.
1. Run the RNC MML command MOD UNODEB to set NodeB Protocol Version to R9.
2. Run the RNC MML command MOD UCNNODE to set CN domain ID to
PS_DOMAIN and set CN protocol version to R8.
Step 2 Run the RNC MML command DEA UCELL multiple times to deactivate each logical cell of
the cells to be enabled with DC-HSDPA. It is recommended that all cells under a NodeB be
deactivated, including SC-HSDPA cells
NOTE
Deactivating a cell interrupts the ongoing services in the cell. Therefore, it is recommended that the cell
deactivation operation be performed in low traffic hours, for example, in the early morning.
Step 3 Run the NodeB MML command MOD ULOCELL to modify the value of the Cell Scale
Indication parameter.
NOTE
Compared with activating the DC-HSDPA feature, activating the Macro-Micro DC-HSDPA feature
requires an additional step: configuring a cell as a macro or micro cell. If it is not for Macro-Micro DC-
HSDPA, omit this step.
Step 4 Run the NodeB MML command ADD NODEBMULTICELLGRP to add a multi-carrier cell
group.
NOTE
The multi-carrier cell group ID must be unique under a NodeB.

The multi-carrier cell group ID can be queried using the NodeB MML command LST
NODEBMULTICELLGRP.
Step 5 Run the NodeB MML command ADD NODEBMULTICELLGRPITEM multiple times to
add the cells to the multi-carrier cell group.
NOTE
Only the cells that meet the requirements described in section Multi-Carrier Cell Groups can be added to
a multi-carrier cell group.
Step 6 Run the NodeB MML command STR REALLOCLOCELL to start the reestablishment of all
local cells based on baseband resource optimization.
NOTE
Running this command interrupts the ongoing services in all cells under the NodeB. Therefore, it is
recommended that this command be executed in low traffic hours, for example, in the early morning.
Step 7 (Optional) Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLSETUP to modify the value of the
Time Offset parameter based on the prepared data.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
Step 4 is required only when the value of the Time Offset parameter is inconsistent between DC-HSDPA
cells. The value of the Time Offset parameter can be queried using the RNC MML command LST
UCELL.
Step 8 After configuring all the multi-carrier cell groups under a NodeB, run the RNC MML command
ACT UCELL multiple times to activate the cells in the multi-carrier cell group.
Step 9 Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH to turn on the DC-HSDPA
bearing switch by selecting CFG_HSDPA_DC_SWITCH in the Channel Configuration
Strategy Switch parameter.
Step 10 Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC to select DC-HSDPA as the preferential HSPA+
technology by selecting DC_HSDPA in the Preferred MIMO_64QAM or DC_HSDPA
Character parameter.
NOTE
Select DC_HSDPA in the Preferred MIMO_64QAM or DC_HSDPA Character parameter before

feature verification. If the planned HSPA+ technology for a cell is not DC-HSDPA, select the planned
HSPA+ technology as required after feature verification.
Step 11 (Optional) If streaming services need to use DC-HSDPA, run the RNC MML command SET
UCORRMALGOSWITCH to select MAP_PS_STREAM_ON_HSDPA_SWITCH under
the Service Mapping Strategy Switch parameter.
Step 12 Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH multiple times to enable DC-
HSDPA by selecting DC_HSDPA(Cell DC-HSDPA Function Switch) under the Cell Hspa
Plus function switch parameter.
Step 13 (Optional) When DC-HSDPA DRD is required, run the RNC MML command SET UFRC to
enable DC-HSDPA DRD by selecting DC_HSDPA under the HSPA Technologies Retried by
UEs parameter.

7.1.5 Performance Monitoring
Monitoring Counters
To determine the number of DC-HSDPA radio access bearers (RABs) or DC-HSDPA users in
a cell, check the values of the following RNC counters:
l VS.HSDPA.RAB.DC.AttEstab: number of attempts to set up DC-HSDPA RABs on the

primary carrier in the DC-HSDPA cell
l VS.HSDPA.RAB.DC.SuccEstab: number of successful DC-HSDPA RAB setups on the
primary carrier in the DC-HSDPA cell
l VS.HSDPA.DC.PRIM.UE.Mean.Cell: average number of users that have chosen the
current cell as the primary cell
l VS.HSDPA.DC.SEC.UE.Mean.Cell: average number of users that have chosen the current
cell as the secondary cell
To obtain the information about the scheduling of DC-HSDPA users under a NodeB, check the
values of the following NodeB counters:
l VS.HSDPA.DCCfg.AnchorCarrierActedNum: number of times during a measurement

period that the current cell has performed scheduling for users that are configured with DC-

WCDMA RAN
HSDPA and have chosen the current cell as the primary cell, regardless of whether the
secondary carrier has performed scheduling simultaneously. If the primary and secondary
carriers have performed scheduling for a user simultaneously, only one time is counted.
l VS.HSDPA.DCCfg.SupCarrierActedNum: number of times during a measurement period
that the current cell has performed scheduling for users that are configured with DC-
HSDPA and have chosen the current cell as the secondary cell, regardless of whether the
primary carrier has performed scheduling at the same time. If the primary and secondary
carriers have performed scheduling for a user simultaneously, only one time is counted.
l VS.HSDPA.DCCfg.DualCarrierActedNum: number of times during a measurement period
that scheduling has been performed by the primary and secondary carriers at the same time
for users that are configured with DC-HSDPA and have chosen the current cell as the
primary cell
DC-HSDPA increases cell throughput and peak rates for individual users.
To determine the average DC-HSDPA UE throughput, average cell HSDPA throughput, and
total downlink throughput before and after DC-HSDPA is deployed, check the values of the
following counters:
l VS.DataOutput.DCHSDPA.Traffic: This counter measures the amount of traffic that is

correctly transmitted for DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO UEs at the MAC-ehs layer.
This counter is in units of kbit/s.
l VS.DCHSDPA.DataTtiNum.User: This counter measures the number of TTIs during
which DC-HSDPA/DC-HSDPA+MIMO buffer queues have data to transmit. If multiple
queues have data to transmit in a TTI, the TTI number needs to be multiplied by the number
of queues that have data to transmit. This counter is measured only on the primary carrier.
Use the following formula to calculate the average throughput of DC-HSDPA UEs at the
MAC-ehs layer under a NodeB:
Calculate the average throughput of DC-HSDPA UEs at the MAC-ehs layer under a NodeB
based on the following counters:
VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput: an RNC counter that measures the average downlink
throughput of individual MAC-d flows for HSDPA in the cell.
The value of this counter is an average. The peak data rate per user can only be checked in
drive tests.
l VS.DataOutput.Mean: a NodeB counter that measures the average throughput at the MAC-
hs/MAC-ehs layer in the cell during a measurement period.
Monitoring KPIs
The following cell-level KPIs indicate the performance of DC-HSDPA:
l DC-HSDPA RAB Setup Failure Rate = 1 - (VS.HSDPA.RAB.DC.SuccEstab/

VS.HSDPA.RAB.DC.AttEstab) x 100%
After DC-HSDPA is enabled, this KPI measures the DC-HSDPA RAB setup failure rate.
If the DC-HSDPA RAB setup failure rate is much greater than the SC-HSDPA RAB setup
failure rate, the proportion of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA may be very low or the DC-
HSDPA traffic volume may be very small. Under either condition, the value of the
VS.HSDPA.RAB.DC.AttEstab counter is small.

WCDMA RAN
When the proportion of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA is very low or the DC-HSDPA traffic
volume is very small, this KPI cannot indicate the actual DC-HSDPA RAB setup failure
rate.
l DC-HSDPA Call Drop Rate = VS.HSDPA.RAB.AbnormRel.DC/
(VS.HSDPA.RAB.AbnormRel.DC+ VS.HSDPA.RAB.NormRel.DC) x 100%
After DC-HSDPA is enabled, this KPI measures the DC-HSDPA call drop rate. If the DC-
HSDPA call drop rate is much greater than the SC-HSDPA call drop rate, the proportion
of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA may be very low or the DC-HSDPA traffic volume may
be very small. Under either condition, the value of the VS.HSDPA.RAB.DC.AttEstab
counter is small.
When the proportion of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA is very low or the DC-HSDPA traffic
volume is very small, this KPI cannot indicate the actual DC-HSDPA call drop rate.

7.2.1 When to Use DC-HSDPA+MIMO

DC-HSDPA+MIMO combines the DC-HSDPA and MIMO technologies, and its performance
gain is mainly provided by these two technologies.
With the DC-HSDPA technology, both carriers are used to transmit data in all scenarios. This
increases the data rate for most UEs, regardless of whether they are in the cell center or at the
cell edge. In addition, this increases system capacity. The gain provided by the MIMO
technology changes with the radio environment. MIMO is recommended in propagation
environments with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), for example, an environment with
multipath propagation and short delay.
Table 7-7 describes the characteristics of the application scenarios.

WCDMA RAN
Table 7-7 Characteristics of the application scenarios
Scenario Description
Radio environment Multipath propagation Propagation paths are various

and transmission delay is
short.
User behavior Service model Most services are PS

services.
Mobility Most UEs stay still or move

slowly.
Traffic model A large proportion of

services is high-speed data
services.
UE distribution Most UEs are near the

NodeB.
DC-HSDPA+MIMO is recommended in the following scenarios:
l Hot spots with Wi-Fi signals, for example, airports, commercial streets, and university
campuses.
l Densely populated areas, for example, markets and shopping malls
l Residential areas. This feature can be deployed in these areas to replace DSL or cable
Internet access.
7.2.2 Required Information
Geographical Environment
Ensure that the target area has various propagation paths and a short transmission delay.
UE Distribution
Obtain the UE distribution on the network. Ensure that most UEs stay still or move slowly. To
determine UE mobility, view the RRC.AttConnEstab.Reg, VS.HHO.AttIntraFreq.RNC,
and VS.HHO.AttInterFreq.RNC counters.
Ensure that most UEs stay near the NodeB. To determine the distance between UEs and the
NodeB, view the measurement reports (MRs) or other messages that carry the distance
information. Ensure that most UEs mainly perform high-speed PS services. To determine the
ratio of high-speed PS services, view the mean throughput and traffic volume for each service
type.
Traffic Volume
Ensure that the PS traffic volume is high in the network.

WCDMA RAN
Number of Carriers
Ensure that the operator has two or more frequencies and at least two of them are adjacent.
UE Categories
Ensure that UEs of category 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, or 32 are available in the network.
If UEs in the network do not belong to the preceding categories, gains provided by DC-HSDPA
+MIMO are insignificant.
7.2.3 Planning
RF Planning
Ensure that RF resources meet the following requirements:
l The two frequencies are adjacent and the cells served by the two frequencies are under the
same sector and the same NodeB.
l
l They must have the same time offset (specified by the Tcell(BSC6900,BSC6910)
parameter).
Network Planning
In scenarios where two carriers are available and traffic steering is not applied, it is recommended
that this feature be deployed as follows:
l Both carriers support R99+HSDPA+MIMO.

l The two carriers are configured as a DC-HSDPA carrier group.
In scenarios where three carriers are available and R99 services are carried by a separate carrier,
it is recommended that this feature be deployed as follows:
l One of the carriers supports only R99 services.

l The other two carriers support HSDPA+MIMO and are configured as a DC-HSDPA carrier
group.
7.2.4 Deployment
Requirements
l Hardware
– The HBBI and HDLP boards in the BTS3812AE and BTS3812E do not support DC-
HSDPA+MIMO. To support DC-HSDPA+MIMO, the BTS3812AE and BTS3812E
must be configured with the EBBI, EBOI, or EDLP board. When configured with the
EDLP board, the BTS3812AE or BTS3812E must also be configured with the EULP
or EULPd board.

WCDMA RAN
NOTE
Operators can run the NodeB MML command DSP ULOCELLRES to check whether the cell
downlink resources are established on the preceding boards.
– The DBS3800 must be configured with the EBBC or EBBCd board. In addition, the
DBS3800 allows only one cell of the DC-HSDPA cell group to be configured with
MIMO.
– The 3900 series base stations must be configured with the WBBPb, WBBPd, UBBP,
or WBBPf board.
– For the BTS3812AE or BTS3812E, two WRFUs are interconnected to support MIMO
in Primary/Secondary common Pilot (PSP) mode.
– MIMO requires two transmit channels. When RRUs with single transmit channels are
used, for example, the RRU3804, two RRUs must be interconnected to support MIMO.
When RRUs with two transmit channels are used, for example, the RRU3808, only one
RRU is required.
l Other Features
The cells to be enabled with DC-HSDPA+MIMO must have the prerequisite features
enabled. The prerequisite features are WRFD-010696 DC-HSDPA and WRFD-010684
2×2 MIMO.
l License
The license for this feature has been activated on the NodeB side. For details about how to
activate a license, see License Management Feature Parameter Description.

Using MML Commands

Step 1 To enable the algorithm switch for RNC-level DC-HSDPA+MIMO, run the RNC MML
command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH (CME single configuration: UMTS Radio Global

WCDMA RAN
Configuration Express > Connection_Oriented RRM Switch Configuration > Connection

Oriented Algorithm Switches; CME batch modification center: Modifying RNC Parameters
in Batches). In this step, select CFG_HSDPA_DCMIMO_SWITCH and
CFG_HSDPA_MIMO_SWITCH check boxes under the Channel Configuration Strategy
Switch parameter.
Step 2 (Optional) Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC (CME single configuration: UMTS
Radio Global Configuration Express > Basic Resource Control Parameter
Configuration > RNC Oriented FRC Algorithm Parameters; CME batch modification
center: Modifying RNC Parameters in Batches) and set the following parameters:
l Select the DC_HSDPA_MIMO check box under the DC-HSDPA+MIMO or 4C-HSDPA
Preferential Switch parameter to set the preferred HSPA+ technology to DC-HSDPA
+MIMO for a cell.
l (Optional) Select the DCMIMO_HSDPA check box under the HSPA Technologies
Retried by UEs parameter to enable periodic DRD for DC-HSDPA+MIMO.
NOTE
l Before enabling periodic DRD for DC-HSDPA+MIMO, enable periodic DRD for other features on
which this feature depends. That is, select the DC_HSDPA and MIMO check boxes under the HSPA
Technologies Retried by UEs parameter.
l Before verifying this feature, perform the operations described in step 2. If the preferred HSPA+
technology planned for a cell is not DC-HSDPA+MIMO, modify the configuration based on the
network plan after feature verification.
Step 3 To enable the switch for cell-level DC-HSDPA+MIMO, run the RNC MML command MOD
UCELLALGOSWITCH (CME single configuration: UMTS Cell Configuration Express >
Cell Parameters > Cell Algorithm Switches; CME batch modification center: Modifying
UMTS Cell Parameters in Batches). In this step, select the DCMIMO_HSDPA check box under
the Cell Hspa Plus function switch parameter.
NOTE
The switch for cell-level DC-HSDPA+MIMO must be turned on for both cells in the DC-HSDPA group.
Step 4 Enable DC-HSDPA+MIMO for the local cell on the NodeB side as follows:
l For NodeBs running the V200R015, run the MML command ADD/MOD ULOCELL (CME
single configuration: NodeB Configuration Express > IUB_NodeB > Radio Layer > xx
Sector > Locell; CME batch modification center: Modifying Physical NodeB Parameters in
Batches) with DC-HSDPA+MIMO set to TRUE(TRUE) on the NodeB.
l For NodeBs running the V100R015, run the MML command ADD LOCELL or MOD
LOCELL.

Step 1 Check the number of online DC-HSDPA+MIMO users. The VS.HSDPA.UE.Mean.CAT25.28
counter measures the average number of HSDPA users in HS-DSCH categories 25 to 28 in a
cell. The VS.HSDPA.UE.Max.CAT25.28 counter measures the maximum number of HSDPA
users in HS-DSCH categories 25 to 28 in a cell.
Step 2 Check the number of DC-HSDPA+MIMO RAB setups. The

VS.HSDPA.RAB.DCMIMO.AttEstab counter measures the number of DC-HSDPA+MIMO
RAB setup attempts on the primary carrier in a DC-HSDPA+MIMO cell group. The
VS.HSDPA.RAB.DCMIMO.SuccEstab counter measures the number of successful DC-
HSDPA+MIMO RAB setups on the primary carrier in a DC-HSDPA+MIMO cell group.
Step 3 Check the number of DC-HSDPA+MIMO call drops. The

VS.HSDPA.RAB.DCMIMO.NormRel counter measures the number of DC-HSDPA+MIMO
RABs that are normally released on the primary carrier in a DC-HSDPA+MIMO cell group.
The VS.HSDPA.RAB.DCMIMO.AbnormRel counter measures the number of DC-HSDPA
+MIMO RABs that are abnormally released on the primary carrier in a DC-HSDPA+MIMO
cell group (including RF failures).
Step 4 Start a UE trace task and use the UE to establish HSPA best effort (BE) services. Check whether
the RADIO BEARER SETUP message over the Uu interface contains the "dl-
SecondaryCellInfoFDD" and "secondaryCellMIMOparameters" IEs.
l If the message contains both IEs, as shown in Figure 7-3, this feature has been activated.

7.2.5 Performance Monitoring

To determine the number of DC-HSDPA+MIMO RABs or UEs in a cell, view the following
RNC counters:
l VS.HSDPA.RAB.DCMIMO.AttEstab: Number of DC-HSDPA+MIMO RAB Setup

Requests in the Primary Carrier of DC-HSDPA for Cell
l VS.HSDPA.RAB.DCMIMO.SuccEstab: Number of Successful DC-HSDPA+MIMO

l VS.HSDPA.RAB.DCMIMO.AbnormRel: Number of Abnormal DC-HSDPA+MIMO
RAB Releases in the Primary Carrier of DC-HSDPA for cell

WCDMA RAN
DC-HSDPA+MIMO increases the single-user peak rate and cell throughput. To determine the
average HSDPA throughput and total downlink throughput before and after DC-HSDPA
+MIMO is activated, view the following counters:
l VS.HSDPA.MeanChThroughput: an RNC counter that measures the average downlink

throughput of individual MAC-d flows for HSDPA in the cell.
This counter measures the average throughput of HSDPA services in the cell. The single-
user peak rate needs to be checked through drive tests.
l VS.DataOutput.Mean: a NodeB counter that measures the average throughput at the
MAC-hs/MAC-ehs layer in a cell within a measurement period.
The values of the preceding counters increase after this feature is activated.
The performance gain provided by DC-HSDPA+MIMO is related to the number of UEs

supporting DC-HSDPA+MIMO and the number of UEs that do not support DC-HSDPA+MIMO
in a cell. Generally, the larger the proportion of UEs supporting DC-HSDPA+MIMO, the greater
the performance gain is. When the UEs in a cell all support DC-HSDPA+MIMO, the
performance gains reach the maximum.
