2 Overview
2.1 General Principles of HSDPA
To meet the rapidly growing demands for data services on the mobile network, 3GPP Release 5 introduced HSDPA in 2005. HSDPA improves the downlink capacity, increases the
user data rate greatly, and reduces the transmission delay on the WCDMA network.
The characteristics of HSDPA are as follows:
The MAC-hs, a new MAC sublayer, is introduced into the UE and NodeB to support HSDPA.
2.2 HSDPA Channels
To support the HSDPA technologies, 3GPP defines one transport channel (HS-DSCH) and three physical channels (HS-PDSCH, HS-SCCH, and HS-DPCCH).
Figure 2-1 shows the physical channels of HSDPA in the shaded area.
Figure 2-1 Physical channels of HSDPA

2.2.1 HS-DSCH and HS-PDSCH
HS-DSCH is a high-speed downlink shared channel. Its TTI is fixed to 2 ms. It may be mapped onto one or more HS-PDSCHs.
HS-PDSCH is a high-speed physical downlink shared channel. Its spreading factor is fixed to 16. According to 3GPP TS 25.433, a maximum of 15 HS-PDSCHs can be used for
transmission at the same time. The number of HS-PDSCHs per cell is configurable.
The use of 2 ms TTI reduces the round trip time (RTT) on the Uu interface and, together with AMC, improves the tracking of channel variations. In addition, the use of 2 ms TTI
enables fast scheduling and resource allocation and therefore improves the usage of transmission resources.
In each TTI, HSDPA assigns the HS-PDSCHs onto which the HS-DSCH maps. More HS-PDSCHs can provide higher transmission rates.
Unlike the DCH, the HS-DSCH cannot support soft handover. The reason is that this type of handover requires different cells to use the same radio resource for sending the same
data to the UE, but the scheduling function can be performed only within the cell.
2.2.2 HS-SCCH
HS-SCCH is a high-speed shared control channel. It carries the control information related to the HS-PDSCH. The control information includes the UE identity, HARQ-related
information, and information about transport format and resource combination (TFRC). For each transmission of the HS-DSCH, one HS-SCCH is required to carry the related
control information. One cell can be configured with several HS-SCCHs. The number of HS-SCCHs determines the maximum number of UEs that can be scheduled
simultaneously in each TTI.
2.2.3 HS-DPCCH
HS-DPCCH is a high speed dedicated physical control channel. In the uplink, each HSDPA UE must be configured with an HS-DPCCH. This channel is mainly used by the UE to
report the CQI and whether a transport block is correctly received. The information about the transport block is used for fast retransmission at the physical layer. The CQI is used
for AMC and scheduling to allocate Uu resources.
2.2.4 DPCCH and DPCH/F-DPCH
DPCCH is a dedicated physical control channel in the uplink. DPCH is a dedicated physical channel in the downlink. F-DPCH is a fractional dedicated physical channel in the
downlink.
The HSDPA UE must be configured with dedicated physical control channels in both the uplink and the downlink.
The uplink DPCCH is used for closed-loop power control by working with the DPCH or F-DPCH. In addition, the uplink DPCCH power is used as a reference for the HS-DPCCH
power.
The downlink DPCH is used for inner-loop power control and as a reference for the HS-PDSCH power.
Like the downlink DPCH, the F-DPCH is also used for inner-loop power control. The difference is that each UE must have a downlink DPCH (SF256) whereas 10 UEs can share
an F-DPCH (SF256) to save downlink channel codes.
2.3 Impact of HSDPA on NEs
Editorial change Modified descriptions of the CME-based configuration. For details, see
chapter 8 Engineering Guidelines.
None
Fast scheduling Fast scheduling introduced into the NodeB determines the UEs for data transmission in
each TTI (2 ms) and dynamically allocates resources to these UEs. It improves the
usage of system resources and increases the system capacity.
For details about how Huawei RAN implements fast scheduling, see section 4.3 MAC-
hs Scheduling.
Fast HARQ Fast hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) is used to rapidly request the
retransmission of erroneously received data.
Specifically, when the UE detects an erroneous data transmission, it saves the received
data and requests the NodeB to retransmit the original data at the physical layer.
Before decoding, the UE performs soft combining of the saved data and the
retransmitted data. The combining fully uses the data transmitted each time and
therefore increases the decoding success rate. In addition, the retransmission delay at
the physical layer is reduced greatly, compared with that at the RLC layer.
For details about how Huawei RAN implements fast HARQ, see section 4.4 HARQ.
Fast AMC To compensate for channel variations, the DCH performs power control. To achieve
this goal, HSDPA also performs fast adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), that is,
adjusts the modulation scheme and coding rate in each TTI. AMC is based on the
channel quality indicator (CQI) reported by the UE, and its purpose is to select an
appropriate transmission rate to meet channel conditions. When the channel conditions
are good, 16QAM or 64QAM can be used to provide higher transmission rates. When
the channel conditions are poor, QPSK can be used to ensure the transmission quality.
For details about how Huawei RAN implements fast AMC, see section 4.5 TFRC
Selection.
HSDPA has the following impacts on the RNC, NodeB, and UE.
On the control plane of the network side, the RNC processes the signaling about HSDPA cell configuration, HS-DSCH related channel configuration, and mobility management. On
the user plane of the network side, the RLC layer and MAC-d of the RNC are unchanged. At the NodeB, the MAC-hs is added to implement HSDPA scheduling, Uu resource
allocation, AMC, and Iub flow control. The MAC-hs implements these management functions in a short time. Therefore, it reduces both unnecessary delays and processing
complexity caused by Iub message exchange.
On the UE side, the MAC-hs is added between the MAC-d and the physical layer for data reception. To support HSDPA (without considering HSPA evolution), 3GPP defines 12
UE categories. These UEs support different peak rates at the physical layer, ranging from 912 kbit/s to 14 Mbit/s. The UE of category 10 supports the highest rate. The UE of
category 11 or 12 supports only the QPSK mode. For details, see 3GPP TS 25.306. Huawei RAN supports all the UE categories.
Table 2-1 lists the capabilities of HSDPA UEs of different categories.
Table 2-1 Capabilities of HSDPA UEs of different categories
2.4 HSDPA Functions
HSDPA functions are implemented on the HSDPA control plane and user plane.
2.4.1 HSDPA Control Plane Functions
The control plane is responsible for setting up and maintaining HS-DSCH connections and managing cell resources.
Figure 2-2 shows the HSDPA control plane functions based on the service connection setup and maintenance procedure.
Figure 2-2 HSDPA control plane functions

The HSDPA control plane functions are described as follows:
Bearer mapping
The bearer mapping is used by the network side to configure the RAB during the setup of a service connection in the cell. The network side then configures bearer channels
for the UE based on the requested service type, service rate, UE capability, and cell capability.
For details, see section 3.1 Bearer Mapping.
Access control
Access control, a sub-function of load control, checks whether the current resources of the cell are sufficient for the service connection setup. If the resources are insufficient,
intelligent access control is triggered. If the resources are sufficient, the service connection can be set up.
For details, see section 3.2 Access Control.
Mobility management
For the established HS-DSCH connection, mobility management decides whether to switch it to another cell for providing better services, based on the channel quality of the
UE.
For details, see section 3.3 Mobility Management.
Channel switching
Channel switching is responsible for switching the transport channel among the HS-DSCH, DCH, and FACH based on the requirements of mobility management or load
control.
For details, see section 3.4 Channel Switching.
Load control
When the cell load increases, the load control function adjusts the resources configured for the established radio connections to avoid cell overload.
For details, see section 3.5 Load Control.
Resource management
Resource management coordinates the power resource between the HS-DSCH and the DCH and the code resource between the HS-SCCH and the HS-PDSCH. The
downlink power and codes are the bottleneck resources of the cell. Resource management can increase the HSDPA capacity.

Power resource management reserves power for channels of different types and allocates power for them. For details, see section 3.6 Power Resource Management.
Code resource management allocates and reserves code resources for channels of different types. In addition, it collects and reshuffles idle code resources.
For details, see section 3.7 Code Resource Management.
2.4.2 HSDPA User Plane Functions
After the service is set up, the user plane is responsible for implementing data transmission.Figure 2-3 shows the HSDPA user plane functions based on the data processing
procedure.
Figure 2-3 HSDPA user plane functions

The service data is passed to the RLC layer and MAC-d of the RNC for processing and encapsulation. Then, the MAC-d PDU is formed and passed through the Iub/Iur interface to
the NodeB/RNC. To avoid congestion, the flow control and congestion control functions control the traffic on the Iub/Iur interface through the HS-DSCH frame protocol (3GPP TS
25.435).
After the MAC-d PDU is received by the NodeB, it is passed through the MAC-hs to the physical layer and then sent out through the Uu interface. The MAC-hs provides MAC-hs
scheduling, TFRC selection, and HARQ. MAC-hs scheduling determines the HSDPA users in the cell for data transmission. TFRC selection determines the transmission rates and
Uu resources to be allocated to the HSDPA UEs. HARQ is used to implement the hybrid automatic repeat request function.

3.1 Bearer Mapping
The HS-DSCH can carry services of multiple types and service combinations, as listed in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1 Bearer mapping
During the service setup, the RNC selects appropriate channels based on the UE capability, cell capability, and service parameters to optimize the use of cell resources and
ensure the QoS. Huawei RAN supports the setting of the types of RABs carried on the HS-DSCH according to service requirements. For details, see Radio Bearers Feature
Parameter Description.
3.2 Access Control
Access control determines whether an HS-DSCH connection can be set up under the precondition that the QoS is ensured. The determination is based on the status of cell
resources and the situation of Iub/Iur congestion. When the resources are insufficient, the HS-DSCH is switched to the DCH and only the DCH connection is set up. When the
resources are sufficient, the DCH is switched to the HS-DSCH. The implementation of this function requires the support of channel switching. For details, see Call Admission
Control Feature Parameter Description.
Access control allows the HSDPA UE to access an inter-frequency neighboring cell that has the same-coverage area as the source cell. The purpose is to achieve load balance

between the cells and improve HSDPA user experience. This is HSDPA directed retry decision (DRD), an optional feature. For details, see Directed Retry Decision Feature
The DCH supports soft handover, and therefore downlink data can be concurrently sent out from all the cells in the active set in DCH transmission. In comparison, the HS-DSCH
does not support soft handover, and therefore downlink data can be sent out only from the HS-DSCH serving cell and inter-cell handover has to be performed through the change
of the serving cell. Therefore, HSDPA mobility management (WRFD-01061006 HSDPA Mobility Management) focuses on the change of the HS-DSCH serving cell.
For the UE with the HS-DSCH service, the best cell in the active set acts as the HS-DSCH serving cell. When the best cell changes, the UE disconnects the HS-DSCH from the
source cell and attempts to set up a new HS-DSCH connection with the new best cell. For details, see Handover Feature Parameter Description. By changing the HS-DSCH
switching threshold, you can modify the conditions for triggering the change of the best cell. Lowering this threshold can increase both the handover frequency and the sensitivity of
HS-DSCH switching to signal variations in the serving cell. Raising this threshold can reduce the handover frequency but may increase the probability of the HS-DSCH service
being discontinuous or even dropping on the cell edge. For the HS-DSCH service, Huawei supports inter-cell intra-frequency handover, inter-cell inter-frequency handover, and
inter-RAT handover.
Mobility management may trigger the switching from the HS-DSCH to the DCH. If the UE with the HS-DSCH service cannot set up the HS-DSCH connection with the target cell,
the channel switching function, together with mobility management, switches the HS-DSCH to the DCH. When the HS-DSCH connection is available, the channel switching
function switches the DCH back to the HS-DSCH. When the HSDPA user returns from the DCH cell to the HSDPA cell, the DCH is set up to ensure successful handover. A certain
period (ChannelRetryHoTimerLen(BSC6900,BSC6910)) later after the handover, the channel switching function switches the DCH to the HS-DSCH. For details, see Handover
Feature Parameter Description and section 3.4 Channel Switching.
After the HS-DSCH is introduced, the UE can stay in a new state, CELL_DCH (with HS-DSCH). Therefore, there are additional transitions between CELL_DCH (with HS-DSCH)
and CELL_FACH and transitions between CELL_DCH (with HS-DSCH) and CELL_DCH even when both the cell and the UE support the HS-DSCH, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 UE state transition (WRFD-01061111 HSDPA State Transition)

Table 3-2 lists new state transition and new channel switching.
Table 3-2 New state transition and new channel switching
Here, the switching between HS-DSCH and FACH can be triggered by traffic volume, which is similar to the switching between DCH and FACH. For details, see State Transition
Feature Parameter Description.
In addition, when the cell load is too high, load control may also trigger the switching from the HS-DSCH to the FACH to relieve congestion. For details, see Load Control Feature
As the HS-DSCH is introduced later, it is inevitable that some cells support the HS-DSCH but others do not. This is also the case with UEs. When a service is set up, the channel
switching function selects an appropriate bearer channel based on the cell capability and UE capability to ensure the QoS while efficiently using the cell resources. When the user
is moving, the channel switching function adjusts the channel type based on the UE capability to ensure service continuity while improving user experience.
Figure 3-2 Relationships between channel switching and other functions

Triggers for switching from the HS-DSCH to the DCH are as follows:
The HS-DSCH is selected during the service setup but neither the resources of the serving cell nor the resources of the inter-frequency same-coverage neighboring cell are
sufficient. In this case, the HS-DSCH is switched to the DCH. This function is achieved by means of non-periodic directed retry decision (DRD). For details about non-periodic
DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
The HS-DSCH serving cell changes. The UE attempts to set up a new HS-DSCH connection with the new best cell. In such a case, the possible scenarios are as follows:
If the new best cell does not support the HS-DSCH, the UE cannot set up the HS-DSCH connection. In this case, the HS-DSCH is switched to the DCH.
If the new best cell supports the HS-DSCH but a new HS-DSCH connection cannot be set up because the resources are insufficient, the DCH connection is set up and
the HS-DSCH is switched to this DCH.
For details, see Handover Feature Parameter Description.
The user moves from a cell supporting the DCH but not supporting the HS-DSCH to a cell supporting the HS-DSCH. In this case, the DCH connection is also set up because
the DCH supports soft handover, which can increase the handover success rate.
In one of the cases described previously, the DCH connection is set up in a cell supporting the HS-DSCH or in an inter-frequency same-coverage neighboring cell supporting the
HS-DSCH. Then, the DCH is switched to the HS-DSCH by either of the following mechanisms:
Channel switching based on timer
After the DCH connection is set up, this mechanism periodically attempts to switch the DCH to the HS-DSCH. This function is achieved by means of periodic DRD. For details
about periodic DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
Channel switching based on traffic volume
New State Transition New Channel Switching
CELL_DCH (with HS-DSCH) <-> CELL_FACH HS-DSCH <-> FACH
CELL_DCH (with HS-DSCH) <-> CELL_DCH HS-DSCH <-> DCH
When the traffic volume of the UE increases and the RNC receives a 4A event report, this mechanism attempts to switch the DCH to the HS-DSCH. For details on the 4A
event report, see State Transition Feature Parameter Description.
3.5 Load Control
When the cell is congested, load control selects some users (including HSDPA users) for congestion relief. The selection is based on the integrated priority, which considers the
allocation retention priority (ARP), traffic class (TC), traffic handling priority (THP), and bearer type. When the cell load is high, the basic congestion control selects some HSDPA
users for handover to an inter-frequency same-coverage neighboring cell or an inter-RAT neighboring cell with lower load. When the cell load is too high, the overload congestion
control selects some HSDPA BE services for the switching to a common channel or releases some HSDPA services. For details, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
3.6 Power Resource Management
Power resource management (WRFD-01061019 HSDPA Dynamic Power Allocation) determines the transmit power of the HS-PDSCH, HS-SCCH, and HS-DPCCH.
The downlink power resources of HSDPA can be dynamically allocated as follows:
1. The downlink power resources are first reserved for common physical channels and allocated to the DPCH. The remaining power resources are available for HSPA, including
HSUPA and HSDPA.
2. The HSPA power resources are first allocated to the HSUPA downlink control channels, including the E-AGCH, E-RGCH, and E-HICH. The remaining power resources are
available for HSDPA.
3. The HSDPA power resources are first allocated to the downlink control channel HS-SCCH. For details, see Power Control Feature Parameter Description. The remaining
power resources are allocated to the traffic channel HS-PDSCH.
For details on power resource allocation, see section 4.5 TFRC Selection.
Figure 3-3 shows the dynamic HSDPA power resource allocation.
Figure 3-3 Dynamic HSDPA power resource allocation

Every TTI, the NodeB detects the power usage of R99 channels to determine the power available for HSPA. To reserve the power for R99 power control itself, the power margin
PwrMgn needs to be set on the NodeB side. In addition, the power allocated to HSPA must not exceed the maximum permissible power HspaPower(BSC6900,BSC6910), which
can be set on the RNC side.
For details on uplink HS-DPCCH power control, see Power Control Feature Parameter Description.
3.7 Code Resource Management
Code resource management allocates code resources to the HS-SCCH and HS-PDSCH.
The NodeB supports HS-DSCH transmissions to multiple users in parallel in a TTI. If more than one HS-PDSCH code can be allocated by the NodeB, then code multiplexing can
be used to allocate the codes to multiple users to improve resource usage and system throughput.
3.7.1 HS-SCCH Code Resource Management
Each HS-SCCH uses an SF128 code. The number of HS-SCCHs determines the maximum number of HSDPA users that can be scheduled simultaneously in a TTI. Generally, the
number of HS-SCCHs depends on the traffic characteristics of the cell. The default number is 4, which is specified by the parameter HsScchCodeNum(BSC6900,BSC6910) on
the RNC side. If the default number is used, the HS-PDSCH can use only 14 SF16 codes. To enable the HS-PDSCH to use 15 SF16 codes, you are advised to configure 2 HS-
SCCHs.
3.7.2 HS-PDSCH Code Resource Management
This section describes the feature WRFD-01061005 HSDPA Static Code Allocation and RNC-Controlled Dynamic Code Allocation and the feature WRFD-010631 Dynamic Code
Allocation Based on NodeB.
The transport channel HS-DSCH is mapped on one or several High-Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channels (HS-PDSCHs) which are simultaneously received by the UE. As
indicated in 3GPP specifications, there are up to 15 HS-PDSCHs per cell with the spreading factor fixed to 16.
The number of the HS-PDSCHs per NodeB is configurable and dependent on the license. The license specifies the maximum number of SF16 codes purchased by the operator.
The license works at the NodeB level, which means all cells under a NodeB share the license. The NodeB can dynamically allocate license codes to the HS-PDSCHs between
cells based on the actual requirements. The number of available HS-PDSCH codes for a cell is the number of license codes allocated by the NodeB or the number of HS-PDSCH
codes allocated by the function of HS-PDSCH code resource management, whichever is smaller.
The function of HS-PDSCH code resource management is used to share the cell code resources between DPCH and HS-PPDCH in a cell. As the DPCH and the HS-PDSCH
coexist in a cell, sharing the cell code resources between them is of critical importance in HSDPA code resource management.
The function of HS-PDSCH code resource management supports both RNC-level and NodeB-level code resource management. RNC-controlled static or dynamic code allocation
is enabled through the parameter AllocCodeMode(BSC6900,BSC6910). NodeB-controlled dynamic code allocation is enabled through the parameter DynCodeSw.
If the RNC-controlled static code allocation is used:
The number of reserved HS-PDSCH codes is specified by the cell-level parameter HsPdschCodeNum(BSC6900,BSC6910). Based on the reserved number, the RNC
reserves codes for the HS-PDSCH. The DPCH, HS-SCCH, and common channels use the other codes. The cell-level parameter HsPdschCodeNum(BSC6900,BSC6910)
can be set based on the traffic characteristics of the cell.
Figure 3-4 shows the RNC-controlled static code allocation.
Figure 3-4 RNC-controlled static code allocation

If the RNC-controlled dynamic code allocation is used:
The minimum number of HS-PDSCH codes is specified by the cell-level parameter HsPdschMinCodeNum(BSC6900,BSC6910). The purpose of this setting is to prevent
too many DCH users from being admitted and to ensure the basic data transmission of the HS-PDSCH.
The maximum number of HS-PDSCH codes is specified by the cell-level parameter HsPdschMaxCodeNum(BSC6900,BSC6910). The purpose of this setting is to
prevent too many codes from being allocated for the HS-PDSCH and to prevent DCH users from preempting codes during admission.
The number of codes that can be shared between HS-PDSCH and DPCH is equal to the value of HsPdschMaxCodeNum(BSC6900,BSC6910) minus the value of
HsPdschMinCodeNum(BSC6900,BSC6910), as shown in Figure 3-5. When a code that can be shared is idle, it can be allocated to the HS-PDSCH if the idle code is
adjacent to the allocated HS-PDSCH codes.
Figure 3-5 RNC-controlled dynamic code allocation

If the NodeB-Controlled Dynamic Code Allocation is used:
Generally, the NodeB can use the HS-PDSCH codes only allocated by the RNC. The NodeB-controlled dynamic code allocation, however, allows the NodeB to temporarily
allocate idle codes to the HS-PDSCH.
Every TTI, the NodeB detects the SF16 codes that are not allocated to the HS-PDSCH. If such an SF16 code or any of its subcodes is allocated by the RNC to the DCH or a
common channel, this SF16 code is regarded as occupied. Otherwise, it is regarded as unoccupied. Therefore, the available HS-PDSCH codes include the codes reserved by
the RNC and the idle codes adjacent to the allocated HS-PDSCH codes.
If the setup of an RL requires a DPCH code that is already allocated by the NodeB to the HS-PDSCH, the NodeB releases this code and allocates it to an R99 user. Then, the
NodeB sends an NBAP message to the RNC, indicating that the RL is set up successfully.
Figure 3-6 NodeB-controlled dynamic code allocation

The dynamic code allocation controlled by the NodeB is more flexible than the dynamic code allocation controlled by the RNC. The dynamic code allocation controlled by the
NodeB shortens the code allocation duration and reduces the number of Iub signaling messages transmitted for code reallocation.
If NodeB-controlled dynamic code allocation is enabled, the RNC-controlled dynamic code allocation is disabled dynamically.
Huawei recommends the following code allocation modes, where the first mode is preferred:
Configure the RNC to use static code allocation and the NodeB to use dynamic code allocation.
If the NodeB does not support dynamic code allocation, configure the RNC to use dynamic code allocation.
If not all the NodeBs controlled by an RNC support dynamic code allocation, the RNC-controlled dynamic code allocation is recommended. In this case, the NodeB-controlled
dynamic code allocation can also be enabled for those supporting NodeBs.
3.7.3 Dynamic Code Tree Reshuffling
The HS-PDSCH can use only continuous SF16 codes, regardless of whether the RNC or NodeB controls the dynamic code allocation. By reallocating DPCH or F-DPCH codes,
the dynamic code tree reshuffling function can maximize the number of continuous SF16 codes available for the HS-PDSCH.
Dynamic code tree reshuffling takes effect only when the following conditions are met:
The cell is not in the basic congestion state that is triggered by code resource. For details about basic congestion state, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
The switch parameter CodeAdjForHsdpaSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) is set to ON. In this case, the RNC moves the codes occupied by R99 users leftward along the code
tree and thereby releases shared codes that are close to HS-PDSCH codes. Figure 3-7 shows how this works.
When the RNC-controlled dynamic code allocation or the NodeB-Controlled Dynamic Code Allocation is enabled, codes released by means of dynamic code tree reshuffling can
be used by the HS-PDSCH to improve throughput for HSDPA users.
Whether the F-DPCH codes can be reallocated through dynamic code tree reshuffling is determined by the parameter DlSfAdmAlgoSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910):
FDPCH_SF_ALLOC_OPT_SWITCH in the MML command ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH
When dynamic code tree reshuffling takes effect, the RNC reshuffles the codes used by the DPCH/F-DPCH to provide more continuous SF16 codes for HSDPA through this
function. This function is described as follows:
Every time the codes used by the DPCH are changed, the RNC will choose an SF16 subtree that is not used by HS-PDSCH from right to left. The selected subtree must meet the
following conditions:
The selected subtree belongs to the code trees that can be shared between HS-PDSCH and DPCH.
The number of DPCHs and F-DPCHs on the selected subtree is smaller than or equal to the threshold specified by the parameter CodeAdjForHsdpaUserNumThd
(BSC6900,BSC6910).
The parameter CodeAdjForHsdpaUserNumThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) limits the number of users that can be reshuffled each time, to prevent too many users from being
reshuffled in a short time and therefore to avoid affecting user experience.
When the above conditions are met, the RNC will select this subtree for reshuffling and relocate the users to the positions where the codes are idle.

4.2 Impact of HSDPA on the RLC and MAC-d Entities
4.4 HARQ
4.5 TFRC Selection
HSDPA flow control (WRFD-01061010 HSDPA Flow Control) and congestion control are used to control the HSDPA data flow on the Iub and Iur interfaces. HSDPA data packets
are sent through the Iub interface to the NodeB and then through the Uu interface to the UE. Therefore, congestion may occur on the Uu, Iub, or Iur interface. Flow control is used
to relieve Uu congestion, and congestion control is used to relieve Iub/Iur congestion. The two types of control are implemented by the NodeB. HSDPA flow control and congestion
control are part of the HSDPA Iub frame protocol (3GPP TS 25.435). They are implemented for each MAC-hs queue through the Capacity Request message sent by the RNC and
the Capacity Allocation message sent by the NodeB.
Figure 4-1 shows the basic principles of flow control and congestion control.
Figure 4-1 Basic principles of Iub flow control and congestion control

4.1.1 Flow Control
For each MAC-hs queue, flow control calculates the pre-allocated Iub bandwidth based on the Uu transmission rate and the amount of data buffered in the NodeB. The Uu
transmission rate of the MAC-hs queue is determined by the scheduling algorithm. For each MAC-hs queue, if the Iub transmission rate is higher than the Uu transmission rate, the
data packets are buffered. Too much data buffered in the NodeB leads to transmission delay and even packet loss. Therefore, each MAC-hs queue should not have too much data
buffered in the NodeB. On the other hand, it should keep a certain amount of data to avoid wasting the Uu resources due to no data to transmit.
The flow control procedure is as follows:
1. The NodeB measures the buffered data amount of each MAC-hs queue and the average Uu transmission rate.
2. The NodeB estimates the buffering time based on the measurements.
3. The NodeB adjusts the Iub bandwidth pre-allocated to the MAC-hs queue.
The pre-allocated Iub bandwidth is adjusted as follows:
If the buffering time is too short, you can infer that the RNC slows down the data transmission, that is, the Iub transmission rate is lower than the Uu transmission rate. In this
case, the pre-allocated Iub bandwidth is adjusted to a value greater than the average Uu transmission rate.
If the buffering time is appropriate, the pre-allocated Iub bandwidth is adjusted to the average Uu transmission rate.
If the buffering time is too long, the pre-allocated Iub bandwidth is adjusted to a value smaller than the average Uu transmission rate.
For details on flow control, see Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
4.1.2 Congestion Control
The Iub bandwidth may be lower than the Uu bandwidth. If the RNC uses the Iub bandwidth pre-allocated to each MAC-hs queue, the Iub bandwidth for HSDPA is insufficient. This
may lead to congestion and even packet loss.
The amount of data to be transmitted is sent by the RNC to each MAC-hs queue through the Capacity Request message. Based on this amount and the total Iub bandwidth
available for HSDPA, the congestion control function adjusts the bandwidth pre-allocated to each MAC-hs queue. Therefore, congestion control ensures that the total bandwidth
actually allocated to all the MAC-hs queues is not higher than the total available Iub bandwidth.
The total Iub bandwidth available for HSDPA depends on the variations in HSDPA packet delay and the situation of packet loss. HSDPA shares the bandwidth with the DCH and
control signaling, and the DCH and control signaling has higher priorities than HSDPA. Therefore, when the HSDPA packet delay or packet loss increases, you can infer that the
number of DCHs or the amount of control signaling increases. In such a case, the bandwidth available for HSDPA decreases and the bandwidth actually allocated for HSDPA
decreases.
For details on congestion control, see Transmission Resource Management Feature Parameter Description.
NOTE:
For the Iur interface, flow control and congestion control are also applied. The control principles and processing procedures are the same as those for the Iub interface.
4.2 Impact of HSDPA on the RLC and MAC-d Entities
4.2.1 Impact on the RLC Entity
One of the main purposes of HSDPA is to reduce latency by handling retransmissions at NodeB level. Retransmissions, however, may still be triggered at the RLC layer of the
RNC under the following circumstances:
The NodeB misinterprets an NACK sent by the UE.
The number of HARQ retransmissions exceeds the maximum permissible number.
The data buffered in the NodeB is lost when the HS-DSCH serving cell changes.
Therefore, HARQ retransmission cannot totally replace RLC retransmission, which is described in 3GPP TS 25.322. For services with high requirements for data transmission
reliability, Huawei recommends that the RLC acknowledged mode (AM) also be used to ensure correct transmission on the Uu interface even when the services such as the BE
service are carried on HSDPA channels.
Before the introduction of HSDPA, the size of an RLC PDU is usually 336 bits, where 320 bits are for the payload and 16 bits for the RLC header. Without additional overhead, the
MAC PDU is of the same size as the RLC PDU. According to the 3GPP specifications, a maximum of 2,047 RLC PDUs can be transmitted within an RLC window, and the RTT at
the RLC layer is about 100 ms (50 TTIs).
In this condition, the maximum peak rate can only be 336 bits x (2047/50)/2 ms = 6.88 Mbit/s. To reach higher rates, an RLC PDU of 656 bits is introduced, where 640 bits are for
the payload and 16 bits for the RLC header. The RLC PDU size can be set for each typical service. For high-speed services, the size is set to 656 bits by default.
In addition, the RLC PDU size is fixed to 656 bits, and a transport block of 27,952 bits can contain a maximum of 42 PDUs. Therefore, the maximum RLC payload rate is (656 bits -
16 bits) x 42/2 ms = 13.44 Mbit/s.
For example, 3GPP specifies that the UE of category 10 can use a maximum of 15 codes and receive a transport block with a maximum of 27,952 bits. For details, see 3GPP TS
25.306. Therefore, the theoretical peak rate is 27952 bits/2 ms = 13.976 Mbit/s. In practice, the radio channel quality, retransmission probability, and available power also need to
be considered. Therefore, the UE of category 10 cannot reach 13.44 Mbit/s at the RLC layer in most tests.
A fixed RLC PDU size results in lower transmission efficiency due to unnecessary filler data and redundant RLC PDU headers. Another reason why a fixed RLC PDU size is not
desirable is that high-speed transmission requires a large RLC PDU size required whereas edge coverage requires a small RLC PDU size. Downlink layer 2 enhancement can be
used to address these problems.
With downlink layer 2 enhancement, the RLC AM entity supports a variable PDU size, and the RLC layer does not segment upper-layer packets whose sizes are smaller than the
maximum RLC PDU size. The RLC layer can flexibly adapt to traffic variations and reduce the overheads caused by RLC PDU headers. For details about downlink layer 2
enhancement, see HSPA Evolution Feature Parameter Description.
4.2.2 Impact on the MAC-d Entity
The MAC-d functionality is unchanged after the introduction of HSDPA. The HS-DSCH bearers are mapped onto MAC-d flows on the Iub/Iur interface. Each MAC-d flow has its
own priority queue.
This section describes the feature WRFD-01061009 HSDPA H-ARQ & Scheduling (MAX C/I, RR, and PF).
With the limited Uu resources for HSDPA in a cell, the user expects to maximize the service rate while the telecom operator expects to maximize the system capacity. MAC-hs
scheduling is used to coordinate the Uu resources, user experience, and system capacity. It is implemented at the NodeB MAC-hs.
The scheduling algorithm consists of two steps. At first, the algorithm determines which initial transmission queues or retransmission processes can be put into the candidate set
for scheduling. Then, the algorithm calculates their priorities based on factors such as the CQI, user fairness, and differentiated services. If the algorithm is weighted more towards
the channel quality of the UE, the HSDPA cell can have a higher capacity but user fairness and differentiated services may be affected. If the algorithm is weighted more towards
user fairness and differentiated services, the system capacity may be affected.
Huawei provides five scheduling algorithms: maximum C/I (MAXCI), round-robin (RR), proportional fair (PF), Enhanced Proportional Fair (EPF), and EPF based on UE location
(EPF_LOC). The EPF and EPF_LOC are optional.
4.3.1 Determining the Candidate Set
The candidate for scheduling contains new data packets (initial transmission queues) or data packets to be retransmitted (retransmission processes), with the following exceptions:
If the UE starts the compressed mode, its data cannot be put into the candidate set during the GAP.
If the UE category requires the UE to wait for several TTIs before it can be scheduled again, its data cannot be put into the candidate set in this period. The UE of category 1
or 2 needs to wait for 3 TTIs, and the UE of category 3, 4, and 11 must wait for 2 TTIs.
If the number of retransmissions of a data packet reaches or exceeds the maximum number, the data of this UE cannot be put into the candidate set. The data should be
discarded.
Huawei supports that the maximum number of retransmissions is set on a service basis:
MaxNonConverHarqRt: the maximum number of non-conversational service retransmissions in the CELL_DCH state
MaxEfachHarqRt: The UE in the enhanced CELL_FACH state does not report ACK, NACK, or CQI in the uplink. The HARQ processes of the UE use the blind
retransmission mechanism. The maximum number of retransmissions for the UE in Enhanced CELL_FACH Operation is specified by this parameter.
The CQI reported by the UE is 0.
There is no data in the Mac-ehs or Mac-hs queue for the UE.
The uplink channel quality of UEs is poor and the uplink channels of these UEs are carrying PS conversational services or SRBs.
NOTE:
The MAC-hs can schedule data packets and select Transport Format and Resource Combine (TFRC) entities for UEs whose uplink channel quality is poor and CQI is not 0 when
the following conditions are met:
The MAC-hs queue contains the data packets of these UEs and the data size is not 0.
The scheduling time does not fall into the GAP.
For new data packets, the MAC-hs calculates the scheduling priority for the follow-up data packet scheduling and TFRC entity selection based on the principle that applies to a CQI
of 12 (CQI adjustments are not performed). For data packets to be retransmitted, the MAC-hs schedules these data packets and selects TFRC entities in the same way as it
operates on UEs with good uplink channel quality.
4.3.2 Calculating Scheduling Priorities
Five algorithms are available for calculating the priorities of data packets in the candidate set. The scheduling policies vary according to the algorithms for calculating the priorities
of data packets. The algorithm to be used is specified by the parameter SM on the NodeB LMT.
Comparison of Five Algorithms
Table 4-1 lists the factors considered in the five scheduling algorithms.
Table 4-1 Factors considered in the five scheduling algorithms
Factor MAXCI RR PF EPF EPF_LOC
Table 4-2 lists the effects of the five scheduling algorithms.
Table 4-2 Effects of the five scheduling algorithms
MAXCI Algorithm
The retransmission processes unconditionally have higher priorities than the initial transmission queues. The retransmission processes are sorted in first-in first-out (FIFO) mode.
The initial transmission queues are sorted in the CQI order. A higher CQI means a higher data priority.
The MAXCI algorithm aims to maximize the system capacity but cannot ensure user fairness and differentiated services.
The UE estimates the CQI based on the assumption that the transmit power of the HS-PDSCH on the network side is as follows:

where
P
CPICH
is the transmit power of the CPICH.
is the measurement power offset (MPO). It is specified by the parameter HsPdschMPOConstEnum(BSC6900,BSC6910) on the RNC side and sent to the NodeB and
UE.
is the reference power adjustment. It is set to 0 in most cases. For details, see 3GPP TS 25.214.
RR Algorithm
The retransmission processes unconditionally have higher priorities than the initial transmission queues. The retransmission processes are sorted in FIFO mode. The initial
transmission queues are sorted in the order of the waiting time in the MAC-hs queue. A longer waiting time means a higher data priority.
The RR algorithm aims to ensure user fairness but cannot provide differentiated services. Not considering the CQI reported by the UE leads to lower system capacity.
PF Algorithm
The retransmission processes unconditionally have higher priorities than the initial transmission queues. The retransmission processes are sorted in FIFO mode. The initial
transmission queues are sorted in the order of R/r. Here, R represents the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE, and r represents the throughput achieved by
the UE. A greater R/r value means a higher data priority.
The PF algorithm aims to make a tradeoff between system capacity and user fairness. It provides the user with an average throughput that is proportional to the actual channel
quality. The system capacity provided by PF is between the system capacity provided by RR and that provided by MAXCI.
EPF Algorithm
The EPF algorithm (WRFD-01061103 Scheduling based on EPF and GBR) is an enhanced algorithm developed based on the PF algorithm. The EPF algorithm defines more
priorities than the PF algorithm to better meet the QoS requirements of different services. The EPF algorithm can meet the requirements of telecom operators related to user
fairness and differentiated services and also provide a high system capacity.
The EPF algorithm follows certain criteria to prioritize queues:
Service types are the first to be considered. They are prioritized in a sequence: SRB and IMS > voice services > streaming services > BE services.
Different services of the same type are prioritized as follows:
Retransmission queues are prioritized over initial transmission queues.
Guaranteed bit rate (GBR) queues that have not arrived are prioritized over GBR queues that have already arrived.
Queues with high SPI weights are prioritized over those with low SPI weights.
High bit rate (HBR) queues that have not arrived are prioritized over HBR queues that have already arrived.
User fairness is implemented in EPF as follows:
EFP algorithm guarantees the user fairness in the same way as that PF algorithm. HBR and Resource Limit is used in EPF to limit the use of single users and improve
fairness.
HBR is used to determine the throughput expected by the user based on a study on user experience.
When the rate for a user reaches the HBR, the scheduling probability for the user is decreased. The HBR is specified by the parameter HappyBR(BSC6900,BSC6910)
on the RNC side.
Resource Limit is used to prevent the users in areas with poor coverage from consuming too many cell resources so that there is no decrease in system capacity.
When the resource limitation switch (RscLmSw) is on, the algorithm allocates the lowest priority to a queue whose power consumption exceeds the threshold. If the
power available to the queue is limited, the queue's priority is always considered as meeting the GBR. The ratio of the maximum available power of a queue to the total
power of the cell is specified by the NodeB MML command SET ULOCELLRSCLMTPARA.
Differentiated service is implemented in EPF as follows:
Differentiated services are provided based on SPI and SPI weights.
SPI(BSC6900,BSC6910) is a parameter specified based on service types and users priorities.

Real-time services Not guaranteed Not guaranteed Not guaranteed Guaranteed Guaranteed
SPIweight(BSC6900,BSC6910) can be specified according to the SPI to provide differentiated services.
The SPI weight affects the calculation of queue priorities. It is used to quantify the differentiated services. If resource is insufficient, the proportion of SPI weights determines
the approximate proportion of rates among users. For example, for three throughput-sensitive service users with the same channel quality, the same GBR and the proportion
of SPI weights is 100:50:30, the proportion of actual rates is close to 100:50:30.
For details on the parameters related to QoS management, such as the GBR, SPI, SPI weight, and HBR, see QoS Management Feature Parameter Description.
EPF_LOC Algorithm
UEs' location in a cell can be defined as a near, middle, or far distance from the NodeB. HSDPA UEs closer to the NodeB have better channel environments and report higher
CQIs, as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 UE locations and CQIs

With the EPF/PF algorithm, UEs that have the same SPI weight value but are at different distances from the NodeB have roughly equal scheduling opportunities.
The EPF_LOC algorithm (WRFD-140221 HSDPA Scheduling based on UE Location) builds on the EPF algorithm and considers UE locations as HSDPA scheduling weights.
While ensuring GBRs for all UEs, the EPF_LOC algorithm gives more scheduling opportunities to UEs that are close to the NodeB in order to improve throughput for these UEs.
Since these UEs can obtain larger transmission blocks than UEs farther from the NodeB, the overall throughput of the cell is improved.
CQIs indirectly reflect UE locations. A CQI reported by a UE implies the UE's location, a near, middle, or far distance either between the UE and the NodeB, or between the UEs
within a cell. Assuming that there are two UEs far from the NodeB and the CQIs reported by them are 15 and 13, respectively, the UE that reports the CQI 15 has more scheduling
opportunities and higher downlink throughput.
NOTE:
The PF and EPF algorithms consider the value R/r, where R is the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE. The EPF_LOC algorithm is based on the EPF
algorithm. In addition to R/r, the EPF_LOC algorithm also considers UE locations indicated by CQIs.
If a larger value is set for the LOCWEIGHT parameter, UE locations weigh more in the EPF_LOC algorithm. Theoretically, this results in a higher downlink throughput of the cell
and greater differentiation between UEs at different distances from the NodeB. UEs closer to the NodeB have more scheduling opportunities and higher throughput, which is the
other way around for UEs farther from the NodeB.
UEs closer to the NodeB have more scheduling opportunities and therefore higher throughput. This improves the cell throughput.
UEs farther from the NodeB have fewer scheduling opportunities and therefore lower throughput.
To ensure user experience at cell edges, it is recommended that GBRs be configured for all BE services. To configure GBRs, run the SET UUSERGBR command on the RNC.
NOTE:
The LOCWeight and SPIWeight(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameters simultaneously affect HSDPA scheduling weights. UEs far from the NodeB will experience decreased downlink
rates after this feature is activated. If high rates need to be ensured for gold users, it is recommended that higher GBRs or SPI weight values be set for gold users.
The EPF_LOC algorithm gives more scheduling opportunities to UEs closer to the NodeB and increases the downlink overall throughput of the cell. Cell throughput gains relate to
UEs' CQIs. With EPF_LOC algorithm, HSDPA UEs at cell edges have fewer scheduling opportunities and lower throughput. If GBRs are not configured for BE services, HSDPA
UEs at cell edges may have to wait a long time before they have scheduling opportunities. As a result, traffic radio bearers (TRBs) are more likely to reset and the call drop rate
increases. The magnitude of this impact depends on factors such as UE location distribution and service distribution in the cell. It is recommended that GBRs be configured for BE
services to ensure network performance.
4.3.3 Time and HS-PDSCH Codes Multiplex
This section describes the feature WRFD-01061018 Time and HS-PDSCH Codes Multiplex.
After scheduling, HSDPA users will be allocated to different time and code. Figure 4-3 shows the time division and code division over the air interface for HSDPA users in one cell.
Figure 4-3 HSDPA scheduling based on time division and code division

The feature of time and HS-PDSCH codes multiplex enables the allocation of different codes in the same TTI to different users or the time division multiplexing of the same code in
different TTIs for different users to provide the utilization of code resources and the system throughput.
The parallel data transmission of multiple users over HS-DSCH requires more HS-SCCH codes and HS-PDSCH codes within a single TTI. Code multiplexing is adopted and is
found useful when the NodeB has more HS-PDSCH codes for allocation than those supported by the UE. For instance, the UE supports 5 codes and the NodeB has 10 codes
available in a single TTI. The code multiplexing can increase the resource utilization and system throughput.
4.4 HARQ
The main purpose of introducing HARQ is to reduce the retransmission delay and improve the retransmission efficiency. HARQ enables fast retransmission at the physical layer.
Before decoding, the UE combines the retransmitted data and the previously received data, making full use of the data transmitted each time. In addition, HARQ can fine-tune the
effective rate to compensate for the errors made by TFRC section.
4.4.1 HARQ Retransmission Principles
The HARQ process of HSDPA involves only the NodeB and the UE, without involving the RNC. After receiving a MAC-hs PDU sent by the NodeB, the UE performs a CRC check
and reports an ACK or NACK on the HS-DPCCH to the NodeB:
If the UE reports an ACK, the NodeB transmits the next new data.
If the UE reports an NACK, the NodeB retransmits the original data. After receiving the data, the UE performs soft combining of this data and the data received before,
decodes the combined data, and then reports an ACK or NACK to the NodeB.
RLC retransmission on the DCH involves the RNC, and therefore the RTT is relatively long. In comparison, HARQ involves only the physical layer and MAC-hs of the NodeB and
those of the UE, and therefore the RTT is reduced to only 6 TTIs (12 ms).
After a transmission, the HARQ process must wait at least 10 ms before it can transmit the next new data or retransmit the original data. Therefore, to improve transmission
efficiency, other HARQ processes can transmit data during the waiting time. A maximum of six HARQ processes can be configured in each of the NodeB HARQ entity and the UE
HARQ entity. Note that not all UE categories support six HARQ processes. For example, the UEs of some categories can receive data every one or two TTIs. Therefore, only two
or three HARQ processes can be configured. The RAN can automatically choose the most appropriate configuration based on UE capability.
Figure 4-4 HARQ retransmission principles

4.4.2 Soft Combining During HARQ
Before decoding a MAC-hs PDU, the UE performs soft combining of all the data received before to improve the utilization of Uu resources and therefore increase the cell capacity.
The size of the UE buffer determines the number of coded bits or the size of transport blocks.
For HARQ retransmission between the NodeB and the UE, two combining strategies are available. They are Chase Combining (CC) and Incremental Redundancy (IR). In the case
of CC, all retransmitted data is the same as previously transmitted data. In the case of IR, the retransmitted data may be different from the previously transmitted data. In
comparison, IR has a higher gain than CC but requires more buffer space. CC can be regarded as a special case of IR. The IR strategy is hard-coded in Huawei RAN.
4.4.3 Preamble and Postamble
If the HS-SCCH is received, the UE checks whether the HS-PDSCH is also correctly received and then reports an ACK or NACK in the first slot of the HS-DPCCH subframe. If the
HS-SCCH is erroneously received, the UE does not report any information in the first slot of the HS-DPCCH subframe. This type of transmission is called DTX. In the case of high
interference, the NodeB may demodulate DTX as ACK by mistake when demodulating the HS-DPCCH. Therefore, the lost data blocks cannot be retransmitted through HARQ
retransmission, and the reception can be ensured only through RLC retransmission. To meet the requirement of the 3GPP specifications for a low DTX misjudgment probability,
more power has to be allocated for HS-DPCCH ACK/NACK.
To solve this problem, 3GPP TS 25.214 introduces preamble and postamble (WRFD-01061113 HS-DPCCH Preamble Support). When the NodeB demodulates an HS-DPCCH
ACK/NACK, it considers the subframe prior to and the subframe next to the HS-DPCCH subframe in addition to the HS-DPCCH subframe itself. Therefore, for a certain DTX
misjudgment probability, the introduction of preamble and postamble reduces the power required by ACK/NACK, lower the downlink load level, and increase the uplink capacity.

4.5 TFRC Selection
The TFRC selection algorithm handles the MAC-hs queues in descending order of their priorities determined by the scheduler. In each TTI, the TFRC entity of a cell selects one or
multiple queues and does the following:
Determining the amount of data that can be transmitted by the queue or queues
Determining the modulation scheme of the queue or queues
Allocating appropriate power and channelization codes to the queue or queues
The basic procedure for the TFRC selection algorithm is as follows:
1. Based on the CQI reported by the UE, available power, and available channelization codes, the algorithm searches a CQI mapping table for the TBSmax, that is, the
maximum MAC-hs transport block size (TBS). Note that the available power for every HSDPA user is restricted by MXPWRPHUSR.
2. Based on the TBSmax and the amount of data buffered in the queue, the algorithm determines the most appropriate MAC-hs TBS (TBSused).
If the data buffered in the MAC-hs queue is enough to fill the space for carrying data in a transport block with the TBSmax, then the TBSmax is taken as the TBS to be used
(TBSused). The TBS
max
, however, may be much larger than the data buffered in the MAC-hs queue. If this TBS is used, too many padding bits reduce the spectrum
efficiency. To solve this problem, the algorithm searches the CQI mapping table backward for the CQI or the number of codes to obtain the most appropriate TBS and the
corresponding modulation scheme. This TBS should be the smallest one in the TBS set that can carry the buffered data. The power and code resources determined through
backward searching are taken as the ones for allocation.
3. Based on the TBSused, the algorithm determines the most appropriate power, codes, and modulation scheme.
Huawei supports three backward-searching methods, which are specified by the parameter RscAllocM on the NodeB side:
If the parameter is set to Code_Pri, the TFRC algorithm prefers the use of codes. Under the precondition that the transport block with the TBS is large enough to carry the
buffered data, the algorithm first reduces the power. If the corresponding CQI decreases to the smallest one but the precondition is still met, the algorithm attempts to reduce
the number of codes. This setting is applicable the outdoor macro base station with limited power.
If the parameter is set to Power_Pri, the TFRC algorithm prefers the use of power. Under the precondition that the transport block with the TBS is large enough to carry the
buffered data, the algorithm first reduces the number of codes. If the number of codes decreases to 1 but the precondition is still met, the algorithm attempts to reduce the
power. This setting is applicable to indoor application with limited codes.
If the parameter is set to PowerCode_Bal, the TFRC algorithm balances the use of power and the use of codes. Under the precondition that the transport block with the TBS
is large enough to carry the buffered data, the algorithm reduces the power and codes in a balanced mode. This setting protects the codes or power from being used up,
improving the resource usage and increasing the cell capacity.
Figure 4-6 shows the backward-searching methods used when the parameter is set to Code_Pri or Power_Pri.
Figure 4-6 Backward-searching methods used when the parameter is set to Code_Pri or Power_Pri

Figure 4-7 shows the backward-searching methods used when the parameter is set to PowerCode_Bal.
Figure 4-7 Backward-searching methods used when the parameter is set to PowerCode_Bal

When only a small amount of data is buffered in the MAC-hs queue, the TFRC selection algorithm searches the CQI mapping table backward for the CQI or the number of codes to
obtain the most appropriate TBS. This TBS should be the smallest one in the TBS set that can carry the buffered data. Under this circumstance, the cell has a certain number of
remaining power resources. Full utilization of these power resources helps further reduce the downlink BLER and improve user experience.
The HSDPA remaining power appending algorithm helps fully utilize the remaining power resources. This algorithm appends certain power to the HS-PDSCH power calculated by
the TFRC selection algorithm if the last queue in a TTI carries streaming, interactive, or background data of a UE in CELL_DCH state (including initial transmission and
retransmission). After the introduction of the HSDPA remaining power appending algorithm, the NodeB parameter EXTRAPOWER is added to the SET ULOCELLMACHSPARA
command for specifying the maximum amount of power that can be allocated to HS-PDSCH power from the remaining power resources in the cell in question. This parameter is in
units of 0.25 dB. The value of this parameter must be equal to or less than the cell remaining power in a TTI.
With the increase in downlink power, the downlink load is also increased. When the downlink load becomes heavy, network KPIs are deteriorated. Therefore, the EXTRAPOWER
parameter cannot be set to a too large value.
Before enabling the HSDPA remaining power appending algorithm, ensure that HSDPA has been enabled on the network and that UEs support HSDPA.
NOTE:
When the EXTRAPOWER parameter is set to 0, the HSDPA remaining power appending algorithm does not take effect.
When the CQI adjustment based on a fixed BLER target algorithm is enabled on the NodeB, the HSDPA remaining power appending algorithm does not take effect. IBLER stands
for initial block error rate.
This section describes the feature WRFD-030010 CQI Adjustment Based on Dynamic BLER Target.
Overview
The CQI measures the channel conditions of a UE and is reported from the UE to the NodeB. Without this feature, the NodeB determines an appropriate TBS based on the
reported CQI, system resources, and the TFRC policy. If the reported CQI and related conditions remain the same, the NodeB does not change the TBS because it does not
consider the ever-changing radio environments.
The constant changes in radio environments, caused by multipath effects and UE mobility, lead to fluctuating channel quality. Under these circumstances, choosing a TBS based
on the reported CQI makes it difficult to always achieve the optimum downlink throughput.
With the feature CQI adjustment based on dynamic BLER target, the NodeB monitors the channel quality fluctuations for HSDPA users in a cell in real time and dynamically
selects a proper BLER target based on the monitoring result. The NodeB then uses the BLER target to adjust the CQI reported by the UE. Based on the adjusted CQI, the NodeB
determines an appropriate TBS to achieve higher downlink throughput for HSDPA users and higher cell throughput.
NOTE:
The BLER described in this section refers to the SBLER at the MAC-(e)hs layer and reflects the average block error rate at the MAC layer. Accordingly, the BLER target described
in this section refers to the SBLER target at the MAC-(e)hs layer.
The required BLER target may be high in some environments; therefore this feature is not suitable for networks that limit the BLER target.
This feature requires that both the network and UE support HSDPA. This feature is applicable to all HSDPA terminals except for the terminals that are configured with MIMO.
Different terminals may have different performance for the same TB size. Some terminals may have greater BLERs. This feature adjusts the TB size for terminals based on data
transmission performance to achieve optimized performance.
This feature can be enabled by selecting the CQI_ADJ_BY_DYN_BLER check box under the CQIADJALGOFNONCON parameter.
CQI Adjustment Process
CQI adjustment based on dynamic BLER target is performed in each TTI. The following describes the adjustment process:
1. Based on the CQI reported by the UE, the NodeB checks the actual radio environment, which is affected by multipath effects and UE mobility.
2. Based on the actual radio environment and channel quality of the UE, the NodeB obtains an optimum BLER target, which helps to achieve the highest possible throughput for
the UE.
3. Based on the ACK, NACK, or DTX indication from the UE in the current TTI and on the optimum BLER target, the NodeB calculates the CQI offset, which can be a positive or
negative number. The NodeB then uses the CQI offset to adjust the CQI.
4. Based on the adjusted CQI, the NodeB selects an appropriate TBS by using the TFRC algorithm.
After a UE reports a CQI to the NodeB, the channel quality for the UE may change before the NodeB schedules this UE's data packets and selects TFRC entities for this UE. Such
changes are likely to occur in the following scenarios:
Scenario 1: The UE is engaged in initial HSDPA data transmission.
Scenario 2: The UE is processing burst services, for example, the UE is browsing web sites, sending heartbeat packets, microblogging, or using the QQ application.
If the NodeB uses the CQI that is reported by the UE when the UE does not process any data, the NodeB regards that the interference between channels is not strong. When the
UE starts processing data, the BLER may be high, prolonging the delay and affecting the burst service throughput.
The BLER Optimization for HSDPA Burst Services function calculates the interference of a UE when the UE reports a CQI to the NodeB and calculates the interference when the
UE starts data transmission. Then, this function works out the interference difference in the two scenarios. Based on the difference, this function adjusts the CQI. By doing this, the
NodeB can use an appropriate CQI when the UE is engaged in initial HSDPA data transmission or is processing burst services. This helps reduce the BLER and increase burst
service throughput.
The BLER Optimization for HSDPA Burst Services function is controlled by the BURSTBLEROPTSW parameter in the SET ULOCELLMACHSPARA command.
To use this function, the target network must support HSDPA and some UEs are HSDPA-capable. This function takes effect on all HSDPA-capable UEs.
QPSK and 16QAM
The HS-PDSCH is used to carry the HS-DSCH data. HS-PDSCH can use QPSK (WRFD-01061017 QPSK Modulation) or 16QAM (WRFD-010629 DL 16QAM Modulation)
modulation symbols.
When the UE is in the unfavorable radio environment, the transmission can adopt the low-order QPSK modulation mode and small transport blocks to ensure communication
quality.
When the UE is in the favorable radio environment, the transmission can adopt the high-order 16QAM modulation scheme and large transport blocks to reach a high peak
rate.
QPSK modulation is a basic downlink data modulation function that is used after HSDPA is introduced.
Compared with the QPSK modulation scheme, the 16QAM modulation scheme is a higher-order downlink data modulation scheme. This feature enables the peak rate on the Uu
interface to reach 14.4 Mbit/s.
64QAM
3GPP R5 introduces 16QAM to increase the peak rate per user and expands the system capacity, whereas 64QAM introduced in 3GPP R7 protocols is a further enhancement of
16QAM.
With downlink 64QAM, a higher-order modulation scheme than 16QAM can be used when the channel is of higher quality. Theoretically, 64QAM supports a peak data rate of 21
Mbit/s and at the same time increases the average throughput of the system. Simulation shows that compared with 16QAM, 64QAM can increase the average throughput by 7%
and 16% respectively in macro cell and in micro cell, if the UEs in the cells use the type 3 receivers.
The 3GPP R7 protocols define the categories of the UEs that support 64QAM, and add the information elements (IEs) that support 64QAM in the reporting of local cell capability.
The RNC determines whether the RL between the NodeB and the UE supports 64QAM according to the local cell capability reported by the NodeB and the UE capability. If the RL
supports 64QAM, the MAC-hs scheduler of the NodeB determines every 2 ms whether to use 64QAM according to the following aspects:
Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) reported by the UE
HS-PDSCH code resources and power resources of the NodeB
Compared with the 16QAM modulation scheme, the 64QAM modulation scheme is a higher-order downlink data modulation scheme. This feature enables the peak rate on the Uu
interface to reach 21 Mbit/s.
5 QoS Management and Management over Differentiated Services
5.1 QoS Management
5.1 QoS Management
The goal of service-oriented QoS management is to improve user experience by reducing the service delay and BLER and by increasing the service rate and continuity. The
requirements for QoS vary according to the type of service:
The conversational service (including the CS voice and VoIP) has a relatively high requirement for service delay and a certain requirement for BLER.
The streaming service has a requirement for guaranteed bit rate (GBR).
The FTP service has a high requirement for BLER and error-free transmission. In addition, this service requires higher service rates to provide better user experience.
The HTTP service has a high requirement for error-free transmission and a certain requirement for response delay. In addition, this service requires shorter delay to provide
better user experience.
HSDPA QoS management is implemented by related HSDPA functions. The following table lists the relationships between HSDPA functions and QoS indicators.
Table 5-1 Relationships between HSDPA functions and QoS indicators
These relationships between HSDPA functions and QoS indicators are described as follows:
Mobility management
Service continuity is implemented by mobility management.
For details, see section 3.3 Mobility Management and Handover Feature Parameter Description.
Bearer mapping
HSDPA bearers increase the service rate greatly and reduce the service delay.
For details, see section 3.1 Bearer Mapping.
Load control
The network resources are limited. Therefore, when a large number of users attempt to access the network, the access control function is required to control the access to
ensure the QoS of the admitted users.
The network resources consumed by the admitted users vary with the changed channel qualities, which may lead to network congestion. To relieve congestion, the overload
control function is required to ensure the QoS of most users.
For details on load control, see Load Control Feature Parameter Description.
RLC retransmission and HARQ
To achieve error-free transmission and improve transmission efficiency, HSDPA introduces HARQ at the physical layer. HARQ, however, cannot completely ensure error-free
transmission. Therefore, it should work with RLC retransmission and TCP retransmission.
For details, see sections 4.2 Impact of HSDPA on the RLC and MAC-d Entities and 4.4 HARQ.
Flow control and congestion control
By allocating appropriate Iub bandwidth to users, the flow control function reduces the transmission time. Therefore, it prevents too much data from waiting in the buffer at the
MAC-hs and avoids unnecessary RLC retransmissions. In addition, it protects service data from overflowing from the buffer at the MAC-hs.
Through congestion detection and congestion control, the congestion control function reduces the packet loss probability.
For details, see section 4.1 Flow Control and Congestion Control.
MAC-hs scheduling
Based on the waiting time, achieved service rate, and GBR, the MAC-hs scheduling function sorts the users to meet the requirements for transmission delay and transmission
rate on the Uu interface. For details, see section 4.3 MAC-hs Scheduling.
TFRC selection
Based on the available power, available codes, actual channel quality, and actual data amount, the TFRC selection function selects appropriate transport blocks and modulation
schemes to increase data rates. For details, see section 4.5 TFRC Selection.
Different services have different service types, and different users have different priorities. During resource allocation, differentiated services are provided. Differentiated services
for HSDPA users are as follows:
Differentiated services based on service types
Differentiated services based on user priorities
To further quantify the effect of Diff-Serv management, differentiated services based on SPI weights (WRFD-020806 Differentiated Service Based on SPI Weight) are
introduced.
For details, see Differentiated HSPA Service Feature Parameter Description.

7 Network Impact
7.1.1 System Capacity
After activating HSDPA Introduction Package, the downlink cell throughput, downlink cell capacity, and downlink data rate (which can reach up to 13.9 Mbit/s at the MAC layer for
each HSDPA UE) increase.
The HSDPA Introduction Package feature provides:
Maximized power resource utilization
HSDPA Introduction Package adjusts the downlink power and data rate based on channel quality, maximizing the power resource utilization.
Shorter delay
With TTIs of 2 ms and 10 ms, which provide shorter scheduling intervals, the fast scheduling algorithm enables the NodeB to quickly schedule and retransmit data.
Higher uplink cell throughput
HARQ helps increase the downlink cell throughput.
This feature increases the downlink load but helps to admit more HSDPA users.In ideal conditions, a single cell can support a maximum of 96 HSDPA UEs simultaneously.
None
This feature increases the downlink load but helps to admit more HSDPA users.In ideal conditions, a single cell can support a maximum of 128 HSDPA UEs simultaneously.
None
This feature increases the downlink throughput for HSDPA users and cells by up to 10%.
Calculation for adjusting the CQI increases the downlink load of the NodeB DSP slightly.
This feature gives more scheduling opportunities to UEs closer to the NodeB and increases the downlink overall throughput of the cell. Cell throughput gains relate to UEs' CQIs.
With this feature, HSDPA UEs at cell edges have fewer scheduling opportunities and lower throughput. If GBRs are not configured for BE services, HSDPA UEs at cell edges may
have to wait a long time before they have scheduling opportunities. As a result, traffic radio bearers (TRBs) are more likely to reset and the call drop rate increases. The magnitude
of this impact depends on factors such as UE location distribution and service distribution in the cell. It is recommended that GBRs be configured for BE services to ensure network
performance.
8.1.1 When to Use HSDPA Introduction Package
This feature is recommended for all scenarios. HSDPA can significantly increase the downlink peak rate per user, shorten the round trip delay, and expand the system capacity.
This feature package provides the basic functions of HSDPA to meet the requirements for test or trial operation of HSDPA services.
None
This section describes how to activate, verify, and deactivate the optional feature WRFD-010610 HSDPA Introduction Package. (This feature cannot be configured using the CME.)
Requirements

Dependencies on Other Features
HSDPA provides a number of methods to increase system throughput. It has to coordinate with other features, such as admission control, load control, and mobility
management.
License

Dependencies on the Transport Network
After HSDPA is introduced, the downlink peak data rate per user can reach 14.4 Mbit/s. In this case, the bandwidth of an Iub over ATM transport network must reach 20 Mbit/s
or higher and the bandwidth of an Iub over IP transport network must reach 18 Mbit/s or higher. However, the Iub bandwidth in commercial networks must be higher because
R99 services exist in these networks. For the specific Iub bandwidth in a commercial network, you must refer to the results of network planning and network optimization.

In an IP network:
1. Run the RNC MML command LST ADJMAP to query whether resource management mapping is configured for the adjacent node.
If configured, check the TRMMAP index of the adjacent node.
If not configured, run the RNC MML command LST TRMMAP to query the default TRMMAP ID used by the adjacent node based on the settings of Interface Type and
Transport Type. For example, if Interface Type is set to Iub Interface, then the value for TRMMAP ID will be 1.
2. Run the RNC MML command LST TRMMAP to check whether the IP path mapping to the HSDPA service is configured according to the TRMMAP ID used by the adjacent

If configured, no further action is required.
If not configured, run the RNC MML command ADD IPPATH to configure the IP path mapping to the HSDPA service.
NOTE:
To ensure that HSDPA services can be successfully set up, HSDPA services must be mapped to the corresponding AAL2 paths or IP paths. To prevent ongoing services from
being affected, you can add new AAL2 or IP paths.
The following ATM configurations are recommended:
To enable the peak data rate per user to reach 14.4 Mbit/s, the Synchronous Transport Module level-1 (STM-1) standard must be complied with. Note that the ATM over multi-
E1 transmission scheme cannot support a peak data rate per user of 14.4 Mbit/s.
The bandwidth of AAL2 paths is 20 Mbit/s and the bandwidth of intermediate transmission devices is not lower than 20 Mbit/s.
The following IP configurations are recommended:
To enable the peak data rate per user to reach 14.4 Mbit/s, the bandwidth of IP paths is 18 Mbit/s and the bandwidth of intermediate transmission devices is not lower than 18
Mbit/s.
For IP RANs, the recommended IP bandwidth is 18 Mbit/s because the physical bandwidth of IP paths must be higher than the Uu-interface data rate. For port configurations
on the two ends in IP RANs, the port data rate must be 100 Mbit/s and the full duplex mode must be used.

DLFLOWCTRLPARA Flow Control Switch SWITCH You are advised to set this Default/Recommended Value
Run the NodeB MML command SET DLFLOWCTRLPARA with Flow Control Switch set to an appropriate value to enable the NodeB HSDPA flow control function. The adaptive
flow control algorithm is recommended.
There are four types of HSDPA flow control algorithm as follows:
When Flow Control Switch is set to STATIC_BW_SHAPING, the NodeB does not adjust the available bandwidth for HSDPA users based on delay and packet loss on the
Iub interface. Then, subtracting Iub bandwidth used by R99 from Iub bandwidth configured, the NodeB performs Iub shaping and distributes flow to HSDPA users.
When Flow Control Switch is set to DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING, the NodeB adjusts the available bandwidth for HSDPA users based on delay and packet loss on the Iub
interface. Then, considering the data rate on the air interface, the NodeB performs Iub shaping and distributes flow to HSDPA users.
When Flow Control Switch is set to NO_BW_SHAPING, the NodeB does not adjust the bandwidth based on delay and packet loss on the Iub interface. The NodeB reports
the conditions about the air interface to the RNC, and then the RNC allocates the bandwidth.
When Flow Control Switch is set to BW_SHAPING_ONOFF_TOGGLE, the flow control policy for the ports of the NodeB is either DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING or
NO_BW_SHAPING in accordance with the congestion detection mechanism of the NodeB. This flow control algorithm is recommended.
//Activating HSDPA Flow Control and configuring the adaptive flow control algorithm
SET DLFLOWCTRLPARA: SRN=0, SN=6, BEAR=ATM, SBT=BASE_BOARD, PT=I MA, PN=0, SWI TCH= BW_SHAPI NG_ONOFF_TOGGLE, TD=2, DR=1, I TM=TERRESTRI AL;
NOTE:
When configuring the HSDPA Flow Control feature on the CME, perform a single configuration first, and then perform a batch modification if required.
----End
1. Choose Monitor > UMTS Monitoring > Connection Performance Monitoring on the RNC LMT. Create UL Throughput Bandwidth and DL Throughput Bandwidth
tasks.
2. Assume that the current Iub bandwidth is 4 MHz and the bandwidth usage is 100%. Enable an HSDPA-capable UE1 to access the network and originate a PS service.
Record the throughput of UE1.
Expected result:
The throughput of UE1 is 4 Mbps.
3. Enable an HSDPA-capable UE2 to access the network (with the same configuration as UE1) and originate a download service. Record the throughput of the two UEs.
Expected result:
The throughput of UE1 decreases after UE2 accesses the network. When the throughput of the two UEs is stable, the total bandwidth of the two UEs is 4 MHz. If user priority,
service type and Security Parameter Index (SPI) of the two UEs are the same, the final ratio of the two UEs' throughput is 1:1.

As defined in 3GPP 25.306, the UE in category 8 can support both the QPSK and 16QAM modulation schemes. However, only the 16QAM modulation scheme enables the
throughput of category 8 UE to reach 5 Mbit/s. The throughput of category 8 UE can reach 5 Mbit/s only the radio environment is favorable.
Perform the following steps to check whether the download rate can reach 5 Mbit/s.
1. Use the UE to start a PS interactive service of DL 7200 kbit/s. The PS service is carried on the HS-DSCH. The UE keeps in Cell-DCH state.
2. Start FTP (10 threads) to download given files, which are larger than 1 GB. By monitoring the DL throughput and bandwidth, you find that the PS downloading service is
normal and the bit rate is higher than 5 Mbit/s.

To monitor the effects of this feature, perform the following steps:
1. Before activating this feature for a cell, record the cell throughput of HSDPA according to the following formula:
VS.DataOutput.Mean/(VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean - VS.HSDPA.InactiveDataTtiRation.Mean)
The descriptions of related counters in NodeB are as follows:
VS.DataOutput.Mean: the average cell throughput at the MAC-hs/MAC-ehs layer within a measurement period
VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean: ratio of the time when at least one HSDPA user has data to transmit in the queue buffer within a measurement period
VS.HSDPA.InactiveDataTtiRatio.Mean: average ratio of the time when at least one HSDPA user has data to transmit in the buffer but no HSDPA user transmits data at
the physical layer within a measurement period
2. Verify whether the value of the cell throughput of HSDPA is greater after this feature is activated.
How much the value of cell throughput of HSDPA increase depends on factors such as UE distribution and the service model.
----End
After the EPF_LOC scheduling algorithm is enabled, the value of the LOCWEIGHT parameter affects the cell throughput and the degree to which UEs are differentiated from each
other. A larger value for this parameter means that UE locations weigh more in scheduling. This gives more scheduling opportunities to UEs closer to the NodeB, increases the cell
throughput, and decreases the throughput at cell edges. In this case, to ensure equity among UEs, set the LOCWEIGHT parameter to a small value; to maximize the cell
throughput while ensuring a GBR for UEs at cell edges, set the LOCWEIGHT parameter to a large value.

8.18.1 When to Use HSDPA Remaining Power Appending
The HSDPA remaining power appending algorithm applies to scenarios where network KPIs are better than the Acceptance Criterion (APC) and there are a certain number of
remaining power resources. Network KPIs refer to the CS call drop rate, PS call drop rate, CS RAB setup success rate, and PS RAB setup success rate.
When the downlink load is light, the HSDPA remaining power appending algorithm helps decrease the downlink BLER and improve user experience. However, this algorithm
increases the downlink load. When the downlink load becomes heavy, network KPIs are deteriorated. Therefore, the EXTRAPOWER parameter cannot be set to a too large value.
The recommended value for this parameter is 4, which is equal to 1 dB.
When the value of the VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean counter for a cell is greater than 50%, for example, in densely populated urban areas, the HSDPA remaining power appending
algorithm may decrease the CQI and cell throughput. Under this condition, the EXTRAPOWER parameter should be set to a value equal to or less than 4.
When the value of the VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean counter for a cell is less than 10%, for example, in suburban areas, the EXTRAPOWER parameter can be set to a comparatively
large value, for example, 12 (equal to 3 dB), to improve user experience.
Before feature deployment, collect the values of the following KPIs or counters:
Network KPIs
CS call drop rate
PS call drop rate
CS RAB setup success rate
PS RAB setup success rate
RNC counter
VS.MeanTCP
NodeB counters

Check the value of the RNC counter VS.MeanTCP for the following results:
The value of this counter is less than 80% before this algorithm is enabled.
The value of this counter is increased by a value less than the value specified by the Extra Power parameter after this algorithm is enabled.
Then, the HSDPA Remaining Power Appending algorithm is effective.
Alternatively, check the downlink BLER. If the downlink BLER is significantly decreased after this algorithm is enabled, this algorithm is effective. The downlink BLER can be
calculated using the following formula:
BLER = (VS.NackTotal + VS.DtxTotal)/(VS.AckTotal + VS.NackTotal + VS.DtxTotal)
where
The VS.AckTotal, VS.NackTotal, and VS.DtxTotal counters are NodeB counters.
Run the NodeB MML command SET ULOCELLMACHSPARA and set Extra Power to 0.
//Deactivating HSDPA Remaining Power Appending

NOTE:
When configuring the HSDPA Remaining Power Appending function on the CME, perform a single configuration first, and then perform a batch modification if required.
----End
Decrease the value of the Extra Power parameter by one if some network KPIs, such as the CS call drop rate, PS call drop rate, CS RAB setup success rate, and PS RAB setup
success rate, deteriorate or cannot meet the Acceptance Criterion (APC). Then, check the values of network KIPs.
Increase the value of the Extra Power parameter by one if the values of network KPIs are better than the APC, a certain number of remaining power resources are left, and the
BLER is large. Then, check the values of network KIPs.
Decrease the value of the Extra Power parameter by one if cell throughput decreases due to the decrease in the mean CQI and increase in the value of the VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean
counter.
8.19.1 When to Use BLER Optimization for HSDPA Burst Services
Use the BLER Optimization for HSDPA Burst Services function if users want to decrease the BLER of HSDPA services and increase the UE and cell throughput. This function
provides noticeable throughput gains when the data transmission duration of HSDPA UEs is 20% shorter than the value of the VS.DataTtiRatio.Mean counter and the BLER of
HSDPA services is high.
Collect the values of the following NodeB counters before enabling this function:
VS.AckTotal
VS.NackTotal
VS.DtxTotal

DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING, flow allocation for HSDPA
users is performed according to the delay and packet
loss of the transmission interface board in
STATIC_BW_SHAPING mode. This function requires
the network controller using the switch of the 3GPP R6
protocol. Therefore, you are advised to use this
function with the RNC that complies with the 3GPP R6
protocol. If this parameter is set to NO_BW_SHAPING,
the BS does not allocate bandwidth according to the
configuration and delay of the transmission interface
board. The BS reports the air interface conditions to
the controller, and then the controller allocates
bandwidth. When this parameter is set to
NO_BW_SHAPING, the backpressure function must
be enabled on the controller side. If this parameter is
set to BW_SHAPING_ONOFF_TOGGLE, the BS
automatically selects either DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING
or NO_BW_SHAPING during a flow congestion
detection on a port. That is, DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING
is selected if congestion is detected;
NO_BW_SHAPING is selected if congestion is not
detected for a certain period of time.

Meaning:Whether to enable the algorithms related to
cell service admission. Selecting a switch enables the
corresponding algorithm and clearing a switch disables
the corresponding algorithm. 1. CRD_ADCTRL:
Whether to enable the credit admission control
algorithm. The credit admission control algorithm is
valid only when this switch is turned on and the
NODEB_CREDIT_CAC_SWITCH check box under the
"CAC algorithm switch" parameter in the "SET
UCACALGOSWITCH" command is selected. 2.
HSDPA_UU_ADCTRL: Whether to enable air-interface
load admission control algorithm for HSDPA UEs who
process uplink services over the DCHs and downlink
services over the HSDPA channels. This switch does
not take effect for UEs who process uplink services
over the HSUPA channels and downlink services over
the HSDPA channels. 3. HSUPA_UU_ADCTRL:
Whether to enable air-interface load admission control
algorithm for HSUPA UEs who process uplink services
the DCHs. This switch does not take effect for UEs
who process uplink services over the HSUPA
channels and downlink services over the HSDPA

SIGNALING_SHO_UL_AC_SWITCH: Whether to
enable uplink power-based soft handover control for
UEs who have established RRC connections but
process no services. If this switch is turned on, such
UEs cannot access target cells by using soft
handovers if the target cells are in the OLC state in the
uplink. 13. FACH_UU_ADCTRL: Whether to enable
admission control for UEs that establish services on
FACHs. If this switch is turned on and a UE initiates an
RAB or RRC connection setup request (with a cause
value other than Detach, Registration, or Emergency
Call) in an overloaded cell, the setup request is
rejected. If the cell is not overloaded, the FACH user
admission procedure is initiated and the UE can
access the cell after the procedure succeeds. If this
switch is turned off, the FACH user admission
procedure is initiated regardless of whether the cell is
overloaded and the UE can access the cell after the
procedure succeeds. 14.
MIMOCELL_LEGACYHSDPA_ADCTRL: Whether to
enable admission control for common HSDPA UEs in
MIMO cells. 15. FAST_DORMANCY_ADCTRL:

DRA_HSDPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the status of the UE RRC that carrying
HSDPA services can be changed to CELL_FACH at
the RNC. If a PS BE service is carried over the HS-
DSCH, the switch PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH
should be on simultaneously. If a PS real-time service
is carried over the HS-DSCH, the switch
PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH should be on
simultaneously. 11. DRA_HSUPA_DCCC_SWITCH:
When the switch is on, the DCCC algorithm is used for
HSUPA. The DCCC switch must be also on before this
switch takes effect. 12.
DRA_HSUPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When the
HSUPA services can be changed to CELL_FACH at

DRA_IP_SERVICE_QOS_SWITCH: Switch of the
algorithm for increasing the quality of subscribed
services. When this parameter is set to ON, the
service priority weight of the subscriber whose key
parameters (IP Address, IP Port, and IP Protocol
Type) match the specified ones can be adjusted. In
this way, the QoS is improved. 14.
DRA_PS_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When this
switch is turned on, UEs can be transited among the
CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and
URA_PCH states when they are processing PS BE
services. 15.
DRA_PS_NON_BE_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH: When
this switch is turned on, UEs can be transited between
the CELL_DCH and CELL_FACH states when they
are processing real-time PS services. 16.
DRA_R99_DL_FLOW_CONTROL_SWITCH: Under a
poor radio environment, the QoS of high speed
services drops considerably and the TX power is
overly high. In this case, the RNC can set restrictions
on low data rate transmission formats based on the
transmission quality, thus lowering traffic speed and
TX power. When the switch is on, the R99 downlink
flow control function is enabled. 17.
DRA_THROUGHPUT_DCCC_SWITCH: When the
switch is on, the DCCC based on traffic statistics is
supported over the DCH. 18.

DRA_VOICE_TTI_RECFG_SWITCH: when the switch
is on, the TTI adjustment based on the voice service
type (including VoIP and CS over HSPA) is supported.
20. DRA_CSPS_NO_PERIOD_RETRY_SWITCH:
Whether to prohibit channel retries for CS and PS
combined services. When this switch is turned on,
channel retries are prohibited for CS and PS combined
services. When this switch is turned off, channel
retries are allowed for CS and PS combined services.
21. DRA_SMART_FAST_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the fast state transition algorithm.
When this switch is turned on, the RNC identifies UEs
supporting fast state transition and then quickly
transits the UEs from CELL_DCH to CELL_FACH. 22.
DRA_PCH_UE_SMART_P2D_SWITCH: Whether to
activate the algorithm for smart PCH-to-DCH state
transition specific to UEs in the CELL_PCH or
URA_PCH state. When this switch is turned on, the
RNC identifies UEs supporting smart PCH-to-DCH
state transition and then transits the UEs from
CELL_PCH or URA_PCH to CELL_DCH. 23.
DRA_BASE_RES_BE_TTI_INIT_SEL_SWITCH:
Whether initial TTI selection is allowed for
differentiated BE services based on fairness 0: This
switch is turned off. The TTI is selected according to
the original algorithm. 1: This switch is turned on. In
the dynamic TTI adjustment algorithm for differentiated
BE services based on fairness, HSUPA UEs use 10-
ms TTI if the RTWP, occupied Iub bandwidth, or
consumed CE resources are congested. 24.
DRA_BASE_COVER_BE_TTI_INIT_SEL_SWITCH:
Whether to activate the coverage-based initial TTI
selection algorithm specific to BE services. When this
switch is turned on and conditions on 2 ms TTI specific
to BE services has been met, the RNC determines
uplink coverage wideness of specific cells based on
the Ec/N0 values reported by UEs during RRC
connection. If the uplink coverage of the cells is weak,
the RNC allocates a 10 ms TTI to BE services as their
initial TTI. 25. DRA_F2U_SWITCH: Whether to enable
state transition from CELL_FACH to URA_PCH.When
this switch is turned on, a UE can directly move from
the CELL_FACH to URA_PCH state. When this switch
is turned off, a UE must move from the CELL_FACH to
CELL_PCH and then to URA_PCH state.

Meaning:Uplink credit resources (measured by the
spreading factor) reserved for handovers. When this
parameter is set to SFOFF, no credit resources are
reserved for handovers. After receiving a service
access request, the RNC evaluates the remaining
uplink credit resources after admitting the service. If
the remaining uplink credit resources are greater than
or equal to reserved resources specified by this
parameter, the RNC admits the service. Otherwise, the
RNC rejects the service. The larger the digit following
SF, the less the corresponding resources. For
example, the credit resources corresponding to SF32
are less than those corresponding to SF8.
