 HSUPA Overview
 The HSUPA is an important feature of 3G standard. Compared
with R99 features, the uplink is added with new technologies:

 HARQ technology
 Fast NodeB Scheduling
 Short frame mechanism (10 ms and 2 ms)
 Code SF=2 is added, which increases the volume of physical
channels available to users.
 Throughput capacity improvement

 WRFD-01061403 HSUPA 2ms TTI
TTI : Transmission Time Interval

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 performance 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
› The requirements of HSUPA 2ms TTI

UAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 18

 TTI Switch for BE Services based on Coverage

2 ms 10 ms

- - TTI is 2 ms (higher GBR required): , higher throughput can be achieved but (Faster data
scheduling)
- * Slightly decreased access success rate and increased call drop rate
- * Increased received total wideband power (RTWP) due to a high instantaneous rate
- * A higher probability of congestion caused by insufficient credit resources during cell access

- - TTI is 10 ms, wider coverage performance can be achieved (lower GBR)

- 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

UAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 19

 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.

UAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 20

 TTI => Dynamic TTI Adjustment
» 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

UAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 21

 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.

UAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 22

 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.

UAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. Huawei Confidential Page 23

 TTI => Dynamic TTI Adjustment

 Dynamic TTI Adjustment for a Service Combination over HSUPA

Combination Type Dynamic TTI Adjustment Strategy

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

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.
Voice service included 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.

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

 Background and Benefits

› 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).

 Technical Characteristics

› 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.

› Compared with the traditional HSPA technology, DC-HSUPA brings the following gains

• Improving the peak throughput of users. When the DC-HSUPA and 16QAM
features are used together, the peak throughput can reach 23 Mbit/s.

• Reduced delay of best effort (BE) services. DC-HSUPA UE will be more

easier to get higher throughput than normal HSUPA UE.

• Inter frequency Load sharing, DC-HSUPA user will sharing the uplink load of
dual carriers:
• The load sharing of DC-HSUPA is very fast and more flexible than LDR
• Uplink resource of dual carriers being fully used for getting better
performance,
