SRB over HSPA
Overview
Up to Release 5 (Rel.5), legacy Signaling Radio Bearers (SRB) were carried over
Dedicated Channels (DCH) consuming DL resources (codes, power, channel
elements) depending on the required data rate (13.6 or 3.4 kbps).
From Release 6 (Rel.6) SRBs can be mapped onto E-DCH/HS-DSCH. This
configuration can be done during RRC or RB setup.
SRB over HSPA enables a more efficient use of radio resources, particularly in
conjunction with Fractional DPCH (F-DPCH). It also increases the theoretical uplink
peak rate of a 2 ms TTI HSUPA UE from 2.88 Mbit/s to 5.74 Mbit/s*.

Rel.5 Rel.6

DCH: Signaling + Power Control DCH: Power Control Only

E-DCH: UL Data E-DCH: UL Data + Signaling
HS=DSCH: DL Data HS=DSCH: DL Data + Signaling * UL SF is 2SF2+2SF46
SRB over HSPA
Overview
F-DPCH is used in DL and shares the dedicated code channel carrying L1 TPC bits
of HSDPA users. L1 TPC bits of up to 10 HSDPA users are time multiplexed on the
same SF256 DL code channel. By sharing the SF256 channel, the number of HS-
PDSCH or Rel99 codes can be increased.
F-DPCH can be used for an UE when all its services are mapped to HSPA (for
example AMR call on DCH prevents the usage of F-DPCH). Thus reconfigurations
between F-DPCH and traditional DL DPCCH are supported.
When the SRB is mapped to HSDPA, soft-handover in downlink is supported only
for power control (not for SRBs), which potentially poses a challenge compared to
SRB over DCH. To ensure a good reliability special measures on physical layer and
in handover control are introduced by the vendors.

F-DPCH Slot compared to traditional DPCH Slot
SRB over HSPA
Overview
Rel.6 F-DPCH required strict timing
constraints:
− Fixed position of TPC bits within a slot
for a UE receiving F-DPCH (same time
offset for different cells in case of SHO);
− Different UEs addressed with different
time offsets for same F-DPCH (same
OSVF code). 10 UEs can share the same F-DPCH in a cell

Due to the timing constraints, the UE in

SHO needs to apply for a new F-DPCH if
the F-DPCH configured for the target
cell does not have availability for the
same time offset used in source cell.
This behavior may lead to inefficient
usage of F-DPCH. UE in SHO needs to use the same time offset in both cells

8
SRB over HSPA
Overview
The introduction of Enhanced F-DPCH (eF-DPCH), in Release 7 (Rel.7), allows the
usage of different time offsets for TPC commands sent by different cells to a UE.
Therefore, during a soft handover, F-DPCH channelization codes can be fully
utilized and the necessity of new F-DPCH is reduced.
In this deployment SRB over HSPA was activated together with eF-DPCH for best
DL resource usage possible.

SRB H2D switching
This function enables the SRBs switch from HS-DSCH to DCH when the UE is
located in weak-coverage areas and a low-load cell. This approach can reduce the
increase in the PS call drop ratio, but sacrifices the positive gains produced by SRB
over HS-DSCH. However, when a UE is located in good-coverage areas or a high-
load cell, it continues to use SRB over HS-DSCH, providing positive gains.
In this implementation the load based function was configured in a way that most
cells are considered as low loaded and the SRB switch is based only on coverage.

A cell is considered in low load only when the following conditions are met,
otherwise load is considered high:
− The downlink non-HSPA power load state is smaller than or equal to that of the state
specified by bits 12 to 14 of RsvU32Para4 in UALGORSVPARA (see tables bellow);
− The spreading factor corresponding to remaining codes of a cell is greater than or equal
to the value of CellLdrSfResThd in UCELLLDR.
Bits 12 to 14 of RsvU32Para4 were configured to 5 considering cell high loaded only
when in overload state, making easier the usage of SRB over HSPA.
CellLdrSfResThd was kept on default configuration.

SRB H2D switching - Coverage evaluation
In “Access Mode”, the RNC obtains the RSCP and Ec/No from the following events:
− RRC connection setup where the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message is reported;
− P2D or U2D state transition where the CELL UPDATE message is reported;
− F2D state transition where event 4A based on the uplink traffic volume is reported.
For a UE in “Connected Mode”, the RNC initiates periodic intra-frequency
measurement and requires the UE to periodically report the RSCP and Ec/N0 of
intra-frequency cells.
If the RSCP and/or Ec/No become invalid during the RRC connection setup or TRB
setup, the RNC determines whether a UE is located in weak coverage as follows:
− If the RSCP or Ec/No becomes invalid, the other is used;
− If both, RSCP and Ec/No become invalid, the Ec/No value of FakeEcNo on UFRC is used.

22

CPC DTX/DRX
Overview
The Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC) work item began in 3GPP in September
2005 and was completed in March 2007. The main justification for the CPC work
item (RP-050870) is described as:

“ Packet-oriented features like HSDPA and E-DCH in WCDMA/UMTS systems will promote the
subscribers’ desire for continuous connectivity, where the user stays connected over a long time
span with only occasional active periods of data transmission, and avoiding frequent connection
termination and re-establishment with its inherent overhead and delay. This is the perceived
mode a subscriber is used to in fixed broadband networks (e.g., DSL) and a precondition to attract
users from fixed broadband networks.
It can be assumed that many users are not transmitting any user data for some time (e.g., for
reading during web browsing or in between packets for periodic packet transmission such as
VoIP). The corresponding overhead in the noise rise caused by maintained control channels will
significantly limit the number of users that can be efficiently supported.
As completely releasing dedicated channels during periods of temporary traffic inactivity would
cause considerable delays for re-establishing data transmission and a corresponding bad user
perception, the CPC WI is intended to reduce the impact of control channels on Uplink noise rise
while maintaining the DCH state connections and allowing a much faster reactivation for
temporarily inactive users. 29
CPC DTX/DRX
Overview
CPC is divided in 3 main features:
− UL DTX: UL discontinuous transmission that includes these features/mechanisms:
− UL DPCCH DTX, which enables use of the new UL DPCCH Slot Format 4, FDPCH gating (also
called Node B DTX or DL DTX) and UL CQI DTX.
− E-DCH DTX (also called NodeB DRX or UL DRX).
− DL DRX: DL discontinuous reception that can be used ONLY in conjunction with UL DTX.
− HS-SCCH Less: Part of 3GPP work but not considered here.

CPC DTX/DRX
Overview – Applicability, requirements and gains
CPC works only in UTRA FDD mode and for HSPA calls in Cell_DCH state.
DTX/DRX requires the following:
− HSDPA operation;
− HSUPA operation;
− SRBs are mapped to HS;
− F-DPCH/eF-DPCH is used in DL for power control.
SRB over HSPA and F-DPCH/eF-DPCH results were presented in section 2 “SRB
over HSPA” of this document.
Main gains of CPC are:
− Reduced interference (UL and DL) improves overall PS data capacity, enabling carriers to
provide service to more users.
− More efficient battery consumption allows PS data users to remain continuously
connected.

31
CPC DTX/DRX
Overview - UL DTX basic concepts
The most important concepts of UL DTX are:
− Creation of transmission gaps on UL DPCCH (new slot format);
− Synchronize transmissions on E-DCH, HS-DPCCH and DPCCH.
Both characteristics can reduce UL Tx power and save UE’s battery.

32
CPC DTX/DRX
Overview - UL DTX basic concepts
In more detail we have:
− UL DPCCH DTX: The UL DPCCH is transmitted whenever E-DCH or HS-DPCCH is
transmitted. When the UE is not transmitting data on E-DCH or HS-DPCCH, the UE shall
not transmit DPCCH except for a short burst, periodically (based on configurable
parameters).
− New UL DPCCH Slot Format (UL): If configured by the RNC, the UE can use a new format
for the UL DPCCH burst, when not overlapping with other UL data. The new format
includes more TPC bits compared to Rel. 6.
− F-DPCH DTX/DRX (DL): The UE shall receive TPC commands on F-DPCH corresponding
to actually transmitted UL DPCCH slots; thus Node B can DTX F-DPCH.
− CQI reporting DTX (UL): If configured by the RNC, the CQI on HS-DPCCH can be
transmitted in the HS-DPCCH subframes when the CQI reporting period defined
transmission overlaps with the DPCCH DTX transmission.
− E-DCH Transmission restriction (UL): The RNC can configure the UE to restrict the start
of E-DCH transmissions to coincide with UL DTX intervals, if there has been no E-DCH
transmission for a configurable number of TTIs.
33
CPC DTX/DRX
Overview - DL DRX basic concepts
If UL DTX is configured, the RNC can also configure DL DRX.
When DRX is configured the NodeB will send DL data (scheduled on HS-SCCH, sent
on HS-PDSCH) only at pre-defined periodic intervals and the UE can schedule
reception of HS-SCCH, HS-PDSCH, and E-AGCH/RGCH based on configurable
timers and patterns.
If no data is expected in DL, a Rel. 7 UE could switch of its receiver, saving battery.
The usage of DRX is not mandatory, depends on UE implementation.

Rel. 7 UE can switch off

its receiver

limited to 2ms for DTX/DRX users.
Claro uses 8ms as CQI feedback Cycle to reduce HS-DPCCH power, the change
from 8 to 2ms increases HS-DPCCH power and reduces the benefits of DTX. A
special comparison between 2 and 8ms is presented in section 3.3 “Overall
