How to calculate HSDPA On Air Throughput:

General Formula:
=(( Calculate TTI period chips or Complete Frame Period chips per second)/ 16( A
s HSDPA SF is 16))*Technology Bits ( Like QPSK,16QAM,64QAM) * No. of Codes( 5 co
des, 10 codes, 15 codes as per UE category)
Example below:
1 Frame=15 slots/10ms = 15*2560*(1000/10)=3840000 chips/sec= 3.84mcps ( 1 slot=2
560 chips)
Or if you consider TTI period chips then
TTI =2ms= 3 slot/2ms= 2560*3*(1000/2)=3840000 chips /sec= 3.84mcps
For HSDPA SF is 16
So normal throughput= 3.84mcps/16
Technology
1. QPSK( 1symbol=2bit)
QPSK HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*2
Using 5 Code QPSK HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*2*5=2400000 bits/sec=2.mbps
Using 10 Code QPSK HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*2*10=4800000 bits/sec=4.8mbps
Using 15 Code QPSK HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*2*15=7200000 bits/sec=7.2mbps
2. 16QAM( 1symbol=4bit)
16QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*4
Using 5 Code 16QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*4*5=4800000 bits/sec=4.8mbps
Using 10 Code 16QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*4*10=9600000 bits/sec=9.6mbps
Using 15 Code 16QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*4*15=14400000 bits/sec=14.4mbp
s
3. 64QAM( 1symbol=6bit)
64QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*6
Using 5 Code 64QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*6*5=7200000 bits/sec=7.2mbps
Using 10 Code 64QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*6*10=14400000 bits/sec=14.4mbp
s
Using 15 Code 64QAM HSDPA Throughput=(3840000/16)*6*15=21600000 bits/sec=21.6mbp
