If a little part of the 10 ms frame (15 timeslots) cannot be decoded properly, the whole frame is retransmitted 10 ms later.
If a 2 ms subframe (3 timeslots) cannot be decoded properly, only this 2 ms subframe is retransmitted. The HARQ process of other 2 ms subframes (a maximum of 6) can continue transmitting data. This greatly improves the resource usage on the air interface.

Fast Scheduling
Fast scheduling enables effective allocation of available cell and code resources and improves the cell throughput.
Scheduling principle: Based on channel conditions in short terms; Based on the throughput and fairness for users in long terms.

Scheduling Algorithm
Input of the scheduling algorithm: 1. Available resources, including power and channel code resources 2. Required resources, including users, data, retransmission, capability evaluation of the air interface, channel power, uplink and downlink compression gap of the channel, and discard timer. 3. Middle statistics of the scheduling algorithm, such as the waiting time and average C/I. Output of the scheduling algorithm:
User to transmit data, power, channel code, data attributes (including queue ID, Xrv, invalid data packet discarded)

Features: 1. The max C/I scheduling algorithm allocates resources to the user with the max C/I in one TTI. 2. This scheme provides the maximum cell throughput, because the users provided with services are in best channel conditions. 3. The scheme, however, fails to guarantee fairness for users. In fact, users on the cell edge receive large penalty and great impact because of too much service delay and signal quality deterioration. HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HUAWEI Confidential

RR Scheduling Algorithm
Features: 1) The RR scheduling algorithm adopts the "First in First Allocated" principle for users. 2) The users have high fairness at the cost of high system overhead and high expense of system throughput (spectral efficiency ).

PF Scheduling Algorithm
Old algorithm (V1.5) The PF is expressed as follows: Pi = a*f1 + b*f2 + c*f3 + d*f4 f1: level of data stream f2: CQI f3: Waiting time f4:Queue length a/b/c/d: weight factor, which be flexibly configured. The default values are a=0.3; b=0.4; c=0.2; d=0.1 Exceptional cases: b=1, a=c=d=0, MaxC/I C=1, a=b=d=0RR
New algorithm (V1.6) Priority is based on the R/r R: UE request rate (TB Size / 2ms, calculated based on the CQI) r: amount of effective data (retransmitted data excluded) transmitted by the transport layer before this UE (in 1.6s)
Features: 1) This scheme provides a balanced algorithm, of which the fairness and resource allocation efficiency are between the RR and Max C/I algorithms. 2) The probability of serving all users is equal, although users may experience different average channel qualities. 3) The balance between the system throughput and the fairness is guaranteed.

Good channel condition: higher data rate Poor channel condition: lower data rate Adjust code rate to compensate the channel condition. Poor channel condition: 1/3 coding Good channel condition: 3/4 coding Adjust modulation scheme to compensate the channel condition. Good channel condition: 16QAM Poor channel condition: QPSK
Channel Quality Feedback (CQI) The UE measures the channel quality (SNR) and reports the results to the NodeB every 2 ms or longer. The NodeB chooses the modulation scheme, transport block size, and data rate based on the CQI.

AMC Process
The UE measures the RX channel. The UE provides the CQI. The NodeB filters and corrects the reported CQI to obtain the actual CQI (Channel Quality Indicator). Configure the number of channels, TX power, modulation mode based on the CQI, amount of data to be transmitted, and available power and code resources.

HARQ Concept
HSDPA is a technique where the transmitter sends the new set of parity bits if the previous transmission fails (NACK) and receiver buffers the failed decodes for soft combing with future retransmissions. The RV parameter indicates different code bits transmit in IR buffer. Different RV parameter configurations support: Chase Combining (CC) (retransmission of the same coded data)
Use different r parameters and set of puncture bits for different retransmission. This ensures average coded bits transmission.

The IR scheme, which preferentially transmits parity bits, has average effective codes bits after retransmission. The HARQ gain is prominent especially in high coded rate.

Besides the 3 physical channels, there is anther dedicated channel DPCH, which is called associated channel in the HSDPA. The DPCH is used for signaling transmission and power control. The DPCH normally does not carry services, but it can carry real-time services such as the AMR (multiple RABs: CS+PS)

HS-SCCH is like a soldier holding the flag at the first row of the queue. The UE continuously monitors the HS-PDSCH subframes addressed to it on the sets of the HS-PDSCHs. Upon receiving an HS-PDSCH frame for the UE, the UE physical layer demodulates the subframe. Otherwise, no response is performed.

The HS-PDSCH transmit power can be adjusted by the NodeB according to the following factors:
CQI Amount of transmitted data Available power allocated to the HS-PDSCH Available codes allocated to the HS-PDSCH The transmit power of the HS-SCCH can use: Fixed power transmission (outdoor: 5%; indoor: 3%) A fixed power offset between the HS-SCCH and the DL associated channel. The transmit power of the HS-PDSCH is usually greater than that of the associated channel to ensure that the associated channel keeps a proper transmit power. The HS-DPCCH transmit power has a power offset based on the UL DPCH.
The slot bearing the HARQ-ACK/NACK and that bearing the CQI can have different power offsets.

When RAB is mapped to the HS-DSCH, the DCH is required to be configured to transport UL RLC ACK information and possible UL data, regardless of whether there is UL data to be transported. The figure in the next page describes the scenario of DL TRB carried on the HS-DSCH and SRB and UL services on the DCH. In soft handovers, there may be one or more DCHs, but there is only one HS-DSCH.

What is flow control? What are functions? HSDPA users in different radio conditions may receive different air bandwidth. The function of flow control is to adjust relevant DL flow according to users air capacity.
For users, flow control ensures sufficient data in the NodeB buffer for transmission and prevents too much data in the NodeB buffer from discarding or retransmission.
