Introduction to HSDPA (1/5)

HSDPA is introduced in 3GPP Rel5 specifications.
HSDPA offers a lower cost per bit, provides theoretical peak data rates up to 14.4 Mbps. Link adaptation feature, modulation and coding scheme is selected by the BTS-based on feedback information. Reduced (re)transmission delays. Improved QoS control (BTS-based packet scheduling). HSDPA is mainly intended for non-real time traffic, but can also be used for traffic with tighter delay requirements.

Introduction to HSDPA (3/5)

Additional unit with MAC functionality (HSDPA MAC or MAC-hs) is installed at the BTS. Retransmission controlled by the BTS reduces retransmission delay. The Iub interface (BTS-RNC) requires a flow control mechanism to ensure that BTS buffers are used properly and there is no buffer overflow. The RNC still retains the RLC functionalities as it provides retransmission in cases when HS-DSCH BTS retransmission fails.
