CPICH P-CCPCH
• Hybrid ARQ uses forward error correction as well as error detection resulting
in improved performance over ARQ.
• HARQ round trip time is longer (approx. 12ms) than a TTI period and as such
multiple HARQ processes are used to prevent waiting for ACK/NACK before
sending the next PDU
NB. If more than 4 NACK are received for the same packet, the coding rate
is changed to higher error correction or the buffer in Node B is flushed
and re-filled from the RNC.
• Initially power control of the HS-PDSCH was not used, however vendors have now
implemented various degrees of power control to reduce HSDPA impact to other
services.
• Ericsson
– HS-SCCH has power control
– HS-DSCH has power control
• For Nokia
– HS-SCCH has power control
– HS-DSCH is set at minimum power but can absorb extra power if available to increase
throughput.

• This is due to
– Location of the scheduler (Node B level)
– Resource requirements on Iub / Channel Elements (CE)
• There are 3 methods for continuing data while HSDPA is in SHO area
1. Suspend data till SHO area has expired
2. Radio Bearer reconfiguration to a DCH in SHO area, then re-attempt a HSDPA call
setup when SHO area expires
3. SHO of the A-DCH and effectively do a cell reselection for the HS channel to the new
best server (depends on vendor support)
• The Branch Replacement for HSDPA can then be placed well into the
neighbors cell to ensure a good CQI report when switched.
• In some Vendor RAN it is possible to set the priority for either DCH or
HSDPA traffic
• When the priority is set for either DCH or HSDPA and the RAN reaches an
over load event for the following, then either DCH or HSDPA traffic is
reduced or dropped to free capacity:
1. Iub Overload
2. Downlink Power
3. Downlink Orthogonal Codes
• HSDPA is a shared resource, and user data rates vary greatly according
to the number of users in a cell
• Users are time multiplexed onto the shared channels giving a more efficient
use of code resource.
