TTI : Transmission Time Interval 2ms TTI
The TTI for an HSUPA service can be 2 ms or 10 ms.
When the TTI is 2 ms, higher throughput can be achieved.

When the TTI is 10 ms, wider coverage can be achieved.
Background and Benefits

3GPP introduces HSUPA 2ms TTI to reach a UL peak rate of 5.76Mbit/s theoretically.
The UL system capacity of the HSUPA network is increased, a higher peak rate can be reached
The HSUPA TTI Selection feature enables the switchover between 2 ms TTI and 10 ms TTI, which reduces the call
drop rate and ensures the quality of service (QoS).
Impact The HBBI, HBOI, HDLP, and HULP boards on the NodeB do not support the 2 ms TTI

TTI Switch for BE Services based on Coverage
2 ms 10 ms
Licence in RNC per Mbps

- - When the TTI is 2 ms, higher throughput can be achieved
- - When the TTI is 10 ms, wider coverage can be achieved
- HSUPA TTI selection feature can change the TTI from 2 ms to 10 ms

=> call drops are reduced and the quality of service (QoS) is ensured.
Benefit
Get balance between uplink high speed and continuous coverage through 2ms/10ms TTI handover

TTI => Dynamic TTI Adjustment
Technical Characteristics
Dynamic TTI Adjustment.
After an HSUPA service is set up or reconfigured, the RNC dynamically changes the TTI from 2 ms to 10 ms or from 10 ms
to 2 ms to improve network performance.

For a Single Voice Service over HSUPA
RAN12.0 does not support dynamic TTI adjustment from 10 ms to 2 ms for the voice service.
The purpose of the adjustment from 2 ms to 10 ms is to cover UEs on the edge of the cell and to reduce call drops.
The 2 ms TTI is switched to 10 ms TTI when the following conditions are met:
The UE transmit power is higher than the absolute threshold for triggering event 6A1, indicating the UE transmit power is
limited.
When the VoicePmrMcSwitch parameter is set to ON

TTI => Dynamic TTI
Adjustment
Coverage based Dynamic TTI adjustment for a Single BE Service over HSUPA
The TTI needs to be switched

- from 2 ms to 10 ms in the case of poor coverage
- from 10 ms to 2 ms in the case of good coverage.
The TTI is adjusted from 10 ms to 2 ms in the case of good coverage and huge traffic volume.
The RNC monitors the uplink transmit power and the traffic volume of UE:
- For the UE with 2ms TTI, If the uplink transmit power is insufficient and the traffic volume is relatively low for a period, the RNC
adjusts the TTI of UE to 10ms.
- For the UE with 10ms TTI, if the uplink transmit power is sufficient and the traffic volume is relatively high for a period, the RNC
adjusts the TTI of UE to 2ms.

TTI => Dynamic TTI
Adjustment
Admission-CE-based Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Single BE Service over HSUPA
A 2 ms TTI HSUPA UE generally requires more CE resources than a 10 ms TTI HSUPA UE to access the network.
Therefore, the maximum number of admitted 2 ms TTI HSUPA UEs in a network is smaller than that of admitted 10 ms TTI HSUPA
UEs.
When the NodeB credit resources are insufficient, the 2 ms TTI is switched to the 10 ms TTI to allow more UEs to access the
network.
When the throughput of the 10 ms TTI HSUPA UE reaches a certain threshold, the 10 ms TTI needs to be switched to 2 ms TTI
to achieve higher peak rates.
Differentiation-based Dynamic TTI adjustment for a Single BE Service over HSUPA
Ensures the differentiated services.
The PriorityOpt parameter specifies the type of UE for which differentiation-based dynamic TTI adjustment is applied:
If this parameter is set to Gold, TTI adjustment is applied to all users.

If this parameter is set to Silver, TTI adjustment is applied to silver and copper users.
If this parameter is set to Copper, TTI adjustment is applied only to copper users.

Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Service Combination over HSUPA
Combination Type Dynamic TTI Adjustment Strategy

BE service included and The decision on dynamic TTI adjustment is made for each individual BE service. The conditions
voice service excluded on which the decision is based are the same as those for a single BE service.
The dynamic TTI adjustment strategy is as follows:
l Refere to conditions for single BE services
Voice service included The dynamic TTI adjustment strategy is as follows:

l Dynamic TTI adjustment can be performed on the basis of the voice service if the dynamic TTI
adjustment switch for the voice service over HSUPA is set to ON.
However, when the service combination includes the BE service and the HSUPA DCCC function
is enabled, dynamic TTI adjustment is not performed even if the switch mentioned previously is
set to ON.
l Dynamic TTI adjustment is not performed if the dynamic TTI adjustment switch for the
voice service over HSUPA is set to OFF.
Others Dynamic TTI adjustment is not performed.

UL L2 Enhancement
Uplink enhanced L2 allows flexible PDU sizes at the RLC layer and segmentation at the MAC layer on the Uu
interface. The feature improves the uplink transmission efficiency (optional feature, which is subject to the license

Node-B: A new sublayer, MAC-i, is introduced to replace the MAC-e.

Small fixed-size PDUs can improve network coverage, but doest support High Rate
Large fixed-size PDUs can support higher rates, but the power on the cell edge may be restricted
In addition, fixed-size PDUs may introduce some extra headers and fill bits, excessive encapsulation overheads may be generated, which affects the transmission

UL 16QAM
Scheduling Method: The scheduler determines to use 16QAM or QPSK according to uplink interference
and service rate requirement (~4Mbps)
Benefit
Raise the user peak rate and cell throughput up to 35%
Obtain higher performance in Micro cell and indoor area than in Macro cell
3GPP introduces HSUPA UE category 7 in R7 to support the 16QAM modulation and reach a UL peak rate
of 11.5 Mbit/s theoretically.
The UL system capacity of the HSUPA network is increased.
A higher peak rate can be reached for HSUPA users (UE category 7).
In the case of 16QAM, a gain is achieved only when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is high. Therefore,
a good channel environment is required, for example, a cell with good indoor coverage or micro coverage.
In comparison with QPSK, a gain is achieved only when 16QAM is used after the UL rate reaches 4 Mbit/s.
A higher gain can be achieved when UL 16QAM is used with other technologies such as FDE.

DC-HSUPA RAN14
*Background and Benefits
The new DC-HSUPA technology introduced in R9 aims to improve the user throughput through
larger spectrum bandwidth.
Dual-cell HSUPA (DC-HSUPA) enables users to use the multi-carrier technology in the uplink,
allowing a UE to establish uplink connections with two cells simultaneously on two intra-band
adjacent carriers that provide the same coverage.
