Introduction
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) concept is a natural extension of the Downlink Shared Channel where it is mainly intended for non-real time traffic but can also be used for traffic with tighter delay requirements. HSDPA implementation includes advanced techniques such as
New High Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) Time and code multiplexing of UE Fast Scheduling (every 2ms in the Node B) Adaptive modulation and coding (QPSK and 16-QAM Modulation) Advanced retransmission mechanism (Hybrid ARQ)

Radio Resource Allocation


Why is a shared channel more efficient to carry packet bursty traffic than a dedicated channel? WCDMA / R99
The WCDMA System normally carries user data over dedicated transport channel, DCH, which brings maximum system performance with continuous user data. The DCH are code multiplexed onto one RF carrier.

HSDPA / R5
The HSDPA uses a shared channel known as HS-DSCH.

For bursty traffic, the demand for high data rate is sporadic. When a DCH is allocated, the resources are then dedicated to the respective UE. On the contrary, when HS-DSCH is used, the resources are only allocated to the respective UE only when the UE requests for it, thus maximising the used of the channel.

Throughput Management
There is no more fast power control for HSDPA. As such, the modulation as well as the number of codes are changed according to the radio conditions, where as for R99, it offers constant data rate using power adaptability.

Adaptive Modulation & Coding

The Adaptive Modulation & Coding (AMC) optimises the spectral efficiency depending on the radio conditions by maximising the user bit rate during its transmission time. For example, when a SNR > y dB, the AMC selects 16 QAM as the modulation type and a coding rate of and when a SNR < y dB, the AMC selects QPSK and a coding rate of .

HARQ - Parameter

This parameter is used to stop the retransmission of MAC-hs PDU.

This parameter defines the maximum number of MAC-hs retransmission.

This parameter defines the time to live for a MAC-hs SDU starting from the instant of its arrival into an HSDPA PQ

Fast Scheduling First Stage


There are 5 types of scheduler (Proportional Fair, Alcatel Lucent Proportional Fair, Max C/I, Round Robin and Fair) that can be employed in HSDPA. However, only two types of scheduler are able to be used in UA5.1 namely Proportional Fair and Nortel Proportional Fair. Depending on the scheduler type, the scheduler will first select the Priority Queue (PQ) based on the followings:
Priority of the PQ (Priority 15 = Highest Priority, Priority 0 = Lowest Priority) The number of Queue IDs (QID) present in the PQ Cost function of the PQ (The evaluation of the cost relies on the credits of the queue and the total number of PDUs already transmitted during past rounds. The PQ with the lowest cost function is selected)

Once the selection of the PQ is done, then the scheduler will assign the corresponding credits to the respective PQ. The highest priority will be given the greatest credit and the lowest priority will be give the smallest credit.

Fast Scheduling Second Stage


In the second stage, the aim is to share the resources among all users of the same priority. In the PQ, there are at least one QID and as such some PQs may have more than one QID. The selection of the QID is based on the followings:
Scheduler Type SPI and UE category

When the QID is selected, it will then determine the amount of data to transfer, the number of codes and the power to use.

Fast Scheduling

1. Alcatel Lucent Proportional Fair


Users are chosen according to the number of transmitted bits and the reported CQI.

2. Proportional Fair
Users are chosen according to the instantaneous CQI versus the average CQI.

3. Round Robin
Users are chosen one after the other.

4. Max C/I
Users with the best CQI are scheduled first.

5. Fair
Users with the lowest throughput are scheduled first.

Scheduling - Parameter

This parameter defines the forgetting factor of the averaging window used by the cost function of the scheduler

This parameter allows the user to chose the scheduler type whether Alcatel Lucent Proportional Fair, Proportional Fair, Round Robin, Max CQI and Fair. In UA5.1, only Alcatel Lucent Proportional Fair and Proportional Fair are used.

This parameter is used to determine the relative throughput per SPI.

Scheduling - Parameter

This parameter defines the UE category management. When ueCategoryEquity is chosen, then all UE categories will reach the same throughput in average at the same CQI. When ueCategoryProportionality is chosen, then the UEs throughput depend on their category.
