MIMO and DL 64QAM l
MIMO p
MIMO increases transmission rates through space multiplexing and improves channel qualities through space diversity. The network side can dynamically select single- or dual-stream transmission according to channel conditions. The peak rate at the MAC layer can reach 28 Mbit/s.
l
DL 64QAM p
DL 64QAM allows the use of 64QAM in HSDPA to increase the number of bits per symbol and thus to obtain higher transmission rates. The peak rate at the MAC layer can reach 21 Mbit/s.

Enhanced CELL_FACH Operation l
Enhanced CELL_FACH operation p
Enhanced CELL_FACH operation allows the use of HSDPA technologies for the UEs in the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and URA_PCH state. The purpose is to increase the peak rates in these states and reduce the signaling transmission delay during service setup or state transition with the result improving the user experience.

DL Enhanced L2 l
This feature allows Uu L2 to use flexible PDU size on RLC layer and segmentation on MAC layer. The feature prevents the L2 from becoming the bottleneck of higher Uu rate increased by MIMO and 64QAM.

CPC (Continuous Packet Connectivity) l
CPC allows the uplink and downlink transmissions to take place at periodic intervals. This feature reduces the transmitted power (and thus increases the UE battery life) because the UE does not have to monitor and transmit overhead channels every TTl. This reduction in the transmitted power also helps to increase the uplink capacity by decreasing the total interference. This improvement is especially significant when there are users who transmit data infrequently as VoIP users.
l
CPC feature consists of DL DRX, UL DTX and HS-SCCH less operation.
Copyright © 2008 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
l
DL DRX is discontinuous downlink reception.
l
UL DTX is discontinuous uplink transmission.

Limitation of Original L2 Function l
MIMO and 64QAM increase the DL rates on the Uu interface. The original DL L2 function cannot adapt to such high rates. To prevent L2 from becoming the bottleneck of network performance, 3GPP Release 7 introduces enhancements to L2.

Page16
The original L2 function uses fixed RLC PDU sizes. The typical fixed size is 336 or 656. This cannot meet the requirement of high-speed transmission for larger RLC PDU sizes. The peak date rate can be achieved by MIMO is 28Mbps and it is 21Mbps by 64QAM. However, small fixed RLC PDU will limit the maximum data rate with original L2 function. The following is a typical example:

Flexible RLC PDU size l
With introduction of flexible RLC PDU sizes, the RLC layer will not segment higher-layer packets with sizes less than maximum RLC PDU size (the maximum RLC PDU size is configurable and maximum value is 1500 bytes). Thus, the RLC layer can flexibly adapt to variations in traffic volume and reduce the overhead of the RLC PDU header.

MAC-ehs entity is introduced in Release 7 to replace MAC-hs entity to support HSPA+. Higher layer can configure which one is used. MAC-ehs and MAC-hs can not be used simultaneously. MAC-ehs can support segmentation and concatenation. MAC-ehs can choose to segment or concatenate data based on Uu interface channel condition. For example, when the channel conditions of the UE are poor (for example, on the cell edge), the MAC-ehs can segment the RLC PDU into smaller PDUs for transmission at lower rates to ensure the service continuity.

HSPA+ can support three modulation modes: QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM. Which mode is used is stilled based on the channel condition of UE. The AMC feature introduced with HSDPA enables adaptation of modulation and coding to varying radio conditions. To improve the advantages of AMC even further, a new modulation scheme, 64 QAM, is introduced with HSPA+. Theoretically 64QAM can provide a peak rate of 21 Mbit/s to a single UE. It enables the user with good channel conditions to download data at higher rates, improves user experience.

Mapping of Modulation Scheme is now: ‘0’ stands for QPSK and ‘1’ stands for QAM. When 64QAM is configured, the last bit in Channelization Code Set is used to distinguish between 16QAM and 64QAM modulation format.
The remaining 6 bits of the CCS are used for the channelization code set information, 3 bits for the code group ID (as previous release), and 3 bits for the code offset ID (instead of the previous 4 bits, it means range is reduced when 64QAM is configured.).

Effect of Channel Condition to MIMO l
MIMO operation is affected by channel condition of UE.
l
Only when the channel conditions are good, two parallel data streams can be carried in different transmitters. This is dualstream case. Otherwise only one data stream is carried even though two transmitters are used. This is single-stream case.

Page29
In the dual-stream case, two MAC-ehs PDUs can be transmitted simultaneously in a TTI. After coding, the two streams are mapped onto the corresponding HS-PDSCHs with the same orthogonal code. In the single-stream case, only one MAC-ehs PDU is transmitted in a TTI, and using transmit diversity through two antennas can provide higher transmission qualities.

Page31
Actually MIMO is a closed-loop pre-coding mode. Based on UE feedback NodeB decides to transmit dual stream data (two transport blocks in one TTI) or single stream data (one transport block in one TTI). If dual stream data is transmitted, two streams are spread and scrambled independently. The spreading code for two streams are identical.
l
After spreading and scrambling the data streams are pre-coded. For dual streams precoding is used to make the two stream orthogonal. For single stream the pre-coding is just like transmit diversity.
l
On each antenna, a common pilot channel is transmitted. It is used for channel estimation. UE can monitor the two pilot channels to estimate the channel between NodeB and UE and then give feedback to NodeB.

Pre-coding l
In single-stream case pre-coding is used to achieve transmit diversity. It is similar to closed-loop transmit diversity.
l
In dual-stream case pre-coding is used to reduce the interference between two streams and try to make them orthogonal.
l
Four predefined antenna weighting vectors are used, identified by PCI (Pre-coding Indicator). NodeB decides which weighting vector is used and inform UE.

Pilots for Channel Estimation l
On each antenna, a common pilot channel is transmitted. It is used to estimate the channels between NodeB and UE.
l
In 2×2 MIMO mode the channel between transmitter and receiver can be expressed as the following format, where hi,j is the estimate of the channel between the physical antenna i at the base station and the antenna j at the UE.

Supposing pilots are P. UE can receive P’. So the relationship between P and P’ is P ’ = PH.

P is predefined and P’ is received by UE. So UE can estimate the result of H.

Purpose of Enhanced CELL_FACH Operation l
The RRC states of a UE in connected mode include CELL_DCH, CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and URA_PCH. HSPA significantly increases the maximum achievable uplink and downlink data rates, but only for UEs in CELL_DCH states.
l
The purpose of the Enhanced CELL_FACH feature is to extend the use of HSDPA function to the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and URA_PCH state as well, allowing a more flexible allocation of resources, increased data rates, and reduced transmission delays. So far RAN11 only supports HSDPA in CELL_FACH.

In Releases prior to Release 7, the data and signaling of the UE in the CELL_FACH state are carried on the FACH. The resources of the channel cannot be allocated flexibly and the transmission rates are limited. In Release 7, the data and signaling ( BCCH, CCCH, DTCH, and DCCH ) of the UE in the Enhanced CELL_FACH state can be carried on the HS-DSCH. The HSDPA reception in CELL_FACH state requires the UE to support MAC-ehs.

Selects an H-RNTI from common H-RNTI listed, HS-SCCH channelization code from SIB5. 4. Monitor HS-SCCH using selected common H-RNTI. n
Decode HS-PDSCH to receive RRC Connection Setup.
5. Transitions to CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH based on the reconfiguration message. n
Uses new assigned H-RNTI for further HS-PDSCH reception.
6. May receive subsequent data in CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH

Page45
When the UE enters Connected Mode from Idle Mode by sending an RRC Connection Request message, it starts listening to the HS-SCCH indicated in SIB5. Detection of HSSCCH is based on the common H-RNTI listed in SIB 5. The UE selects the common H-RNTI to be used for reception of the RRC Connection Setup message in the HS-PDSCH.
l
After detecting the HS-SCCH with common H-RNTI, the UE begins reception of the corresponding HS-PDSCH TTI. The UE may enter CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH. When entering CELL_FACH from Idle Mode, the RRC Connection Setup Message should include a new HRNTI and C-RNTI for the UE to use for further HS-DSCH reception. When entering CELL_DCH from Idle Mode, the RRC Connection Setup Message should include a new HRNTI for the UE to use for further HS-DSCH reception.

Page52
After UL DTX parameters are sent received in some RRC messages (RRC Connection Setup/Radio Bearer Setup etc.), UL DPCCH DTX is enabled, but it will be activated only after Enabling_Delay radio frames. When UL DTX is active, two transmission periods can be defined for UL DPCCH DTX. They are UE_DTX_cycle_1 (shorter) and UE_DTX_cycle_2 (longer) depending on E-DCH inactivity. This enables the UL DPCCH transmission rate to autonomously adapt to data transmission activity: for higher data activity, UL DPCCH can be configured for more frequent transmission; and for lower data activity, DPCCH can be configured for less frequent transmission. This increase DTX gain.
l
NodeB can also deactive/active UL DTX by sending order on HS-SCCH.
