2 Overview
2 Overview
The hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) entity for High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) is
located on the NodeB side and used to receive MAC-e protocol data units (PDUs). When a cell cannot
correctly receive MAC-e PDUs from a UE, the HARQ entity requires the UE to retransmit MAC-e PDUs.
The average number of retransmissions on the NodeB side needs to converge to a target number of
retransmissions on the RNC side. This target number on the RNC side is dynamically adjusted by the
feature HSUPA Adaptive Retransmission.
With the HSUPA adaptive retransmission feature, a small target number of retransmissions is used
under normal circumstances. When the uplink load or the UE transmit power is limited, one UE is
selected to use a large target number of retransmissions during each period. Without this feature, a
small target number of retransmissions is always used. For details about the HSUPA adaptive
retransmission feature, see HSUPA Feature Parameter Description.
In versions earlier than RAN14.0, the small target number of retransmissions is specified by the
EdchTargetLittleRetransNum parameter and cannot be adaptively adjusted. When the uplink load is
limited, a small target number of retransmissions will require a high signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) on
the Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH), and the DPCCH must have a higher power. This
leads to decreased available power on the Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH) and
Enhanced Dedicated Physical Data Channel (E-DPDCH), a lower UE throughput, and a lower cell
throughput. To address these problems, RAN14.0 introduced the feature Adaptive Adjustment of HSUPA
Small Target Retransmissions. This feature supports an alternative small target number of
retransmissions for each typical type of service. The actual small target number of retransmissions can
dynamically shift between the original fixed number and the alternative number based on the cell uplink
load and UE rates, which are configured by the EdchTargetLittleRetransNum and
EdchAltTarLittleRetransNum parameters, respectively. This improves the system capacity when the
uplink load is limited.
Figure 2-1 shows the relationship between the features HSUPA Adaptive Retransmission and Adaptive
Adjustment of HSUPA Small Target Retransmissions.

one UE is selected to use the large target number of retransmissions during each period. With the
Adaptive Adjustment of HSUPA Small Target Retransmissions feature, when the uplink load is limited,
multiple UEs are selected for adjustment to the small target number of retransmissions. This further
improves the cell throughput.

3 Technical Description
Without the feature Adaptive Adjustment of HSUPA Small Target Retransmissions, the RNC sets
different target numbers for different typical types of services through the EdchTargetLittleRetransNum
parameter. This feature is intended to further improve the cell throughput. An alternative small target
number of retransmissions is available for each typical type of service. This alternative small number is
configured by the EdchAltTarLittleRetransNum parameter. The original small number is configured by
the EdchTargetLittleRetransNum parameter. The small target number of retransmissions dynamically
shifts between EdchTargetLittleRetransNum and EdchAltTarLittleRetransNum.
Figure 3-1 shows the procedure for dynamically adjusting the small target number of retransmissions.
Figure 3-1 Procedure for dynamically adjusting the small target number of retransmissions
As shown in Figure 3-1, the feature Adaptive Adjustment of HSUPA Small Target Retransmissions
dynamically adjusts the small target number of retransmissions for each single BE service over HSUPA.
When the UE attempts to access the network, the larger value between EdchTargetLittleRetransNum
and EdchAltTarLittleRetransNum is used as the small target number of retransmissions if
PC_HSUPA_LITRETNUM_INIT_SEL_SWITCH under the PcSwitch parameter is selected, or

3 Technical Description
If the UE rate is above the upper threshold and the uplink load of the cell has not reached
MaxTargetUlLoadFactor multiplied by RelRatioforUlRTWP, the RNC adjusts the small target
number of retransmissions to the smaller one between EdchTargetLittleRetransNum and
EdchAltTarLittleRetransNum in order to raise the UE throughput. The upper threshold equals the
minimum bit rate (MBR) of uplink services multiplied by an unconfigurable factor.
If the UE rate is below the lower threshold and the uplink load of the cell has reached
MaxTargetUlLoadFactor multiplied by TrigRatioforUlRTWP, the RNC adjusts the small target
number of retransmissions to the larger one between EdchTargetLittleRetransNum and
EdchAltTarLittleRetransNum in order to raise the cell throughput on the uplink. The lower threshold
equals the MBR of uplink services multiplied by an unconfigurable factor.

If the features HSUPA Adaptive Retransmission and Adaptive Adjustment of HSUPA Small Target
Retransmissions are both enabled and the air interface resources or UE transmit power on the uplink is
limited, the Adaptive Adjustment of HSUPA Small Target Retransmissions feature selects one UE to use
the large target number of retransmissions during each period. If the selected UE later meets the
conditions for using the small target number of retransmissions, the larger one between
EdchTargetLittleRetransNum and EdchAltTarLittleRetransNum is used. For details about these
conditions, see the HSUPA Feature Parameter Description.
