DC HSDPA
Background (I)
The release 8 version of the specifications allow 2 adjacent channels to be

combined to generate an effective HSDPA channel bandwidth of 10 MHz
Prior to 3GPP Release 8, HSDPA channel bandwidths are limited to 5 MHz
RU20 implementation of Dual Cell HSDPA is based upon release 8 of
3GPP
Release 8 version of the specifications allow Dual Cell HSDPA to be combined
with 64QAM but not with MIMO (Release 9 allows combination with MIMO)

Background (II)
The release 9 version of the specifications allow 2 non-adjacent channels

(potentially in different operating bands) to be combined to generate an
effective HSDPA channel bandwidth of 10 MHz
Discussions are ongoing within 3GPP for introducing the capability to combine
4 RF channels to provide a 20 MHz aggregate channel bandwidth
The combination of multiple RF carriers provides greater flexibility to the

HSDPA Scheduler
the scheduler can allocated resources in the frequency domain as well as in the
code and time domains

Physical Channels
The primary serving cell provides the full set of physical channels
Inner loop power control is driven by the primary serving cell
HARQ ACK/NACK and CQI are reported to the primary serving cell
Uplink data is sent to the primary serving cell
The secondary serving cell provides only the downlink HS-SCCH and HSPDSCH
The return channel must be HSUPA

HS-DPCCH is responsible for signalling
CQI reports
HARQ ACK/NACK
For DC-HSDPA there is a requirement to signal CQI and ACK/NACK
information for both cells with the cell pair
Physical channel capacity of the HS-DPCCH remains the same so the
level of redundancy is reduced
ACK/NACK coding is modified to incorporate information applicable to
second cell
ACK / NACK
CQI
CQI raw data increases from

Flexible Configuration
The flexible configuration requires the HSUPA and F-DPCH features to be

enabled on both RF carriers belonging to a cell pair
The flexible configuration allows both cells to simultaneously act as:
primary serving HSDPA cell for some DC-HSDPA capable UE
secondary HSDPA serving cell for other DC-HSDPA capable UE
single carrier HSDPA/HSPA serving cell for non DC-HSDPA capable UE
member of the Active Set for other UE

Fixed Configuration
The fixed configuration applies when the HSUPA and F-DPCH features are
enabled on only 1 of the 2 RF carriers belonging to a cell pair
In the case of the fixed configuration, the RF

carrier with HSUPA and F-DPCH enabled
can act as:

HSDPA Scheduler (I)
A single HSDPA shared scheduler for baseband efficiency is required per

DC-HSDPA cell pair
3 HSDPA shared schedulers are required for a 2+2+2 Node B
configuration with DC-HSDPA
Each scheduler is able to serve both HSDPA and DC-HSDPA UE on both
RF carriers
Link Adaptation is completed in parallel for each RF carrier

HSDPA Scheduler (II)
Round Robin, Proportional Fair or PF-RAD-DS schedulers can be used

A scheduler metric is calculated for each RF carrier
The instantaneous Transport Block Size (TBS) is generated separately for each
cell by Link Adaptation
The Average TBS is based upon the previously allocated TBS in both cells
belonging to the DC-HSDPA cell pair, i.e. it represents the total average
throughput allocated to the UE
Thus, a UE which is scheduled high throughput in cell 1 (possibly because

it is the only active UE) will have a reduced scheduling metric for being
allocated resources in cell 2 Traffic balancing

HSDPA Scheduler (III)

Single cell and dual cell
users are scheduled in fair

manner simultaneously in
both cells.
Proportional fair scheduler
decides the scheduled
users on each cell
separately per TTI
Dual Cell HSDPA user is
included in scheduling in
both cells.
Fairness of a dual cell
user takes into account
the scheduling decisions
in both cells.
Based on cell specific
scheduling decisions per
TTI, the DC user can be
scheduled in none of the
cells, in one of the cells or
in both of the cells.

DC-HSDPA Throughputs (I)

Physical Layer (based upon Physical Channel capability)
Chip Rate = 3.84 Mcps

Spreading Factor = 16
=> Symbol Rate = 240 ksps
Number of HS-PDSCH codes = 15

=> Aggregate Symbol Rate per RF Carrier = 3.6 Mbps
Number of bits per Symbol = 6

=> Aggregate Bit Rate per RF Carrier = 21.6 Mbps
Number of RF Carriers = 2
=> Bit Rate = 43.2 Mbps (peak)
Physical Layer (based upon UE maximum transport block size)
Category 24 maximum transport block size = 42 192 bits

Transmission Time Interval = 2 ms
=> Bit Rate per transport block = 21.096 Mbps
Number of Transport Blocks = 2

=> Bit Rate = 42.192

DC-HSDPA Throughputs (II)

RLC Layer (based upon maximum transport block size payload)
Maximum transport block size payload = 2 42120 bits

RLC header size per transport block = 4 16 = 64 bits
=> RLC payload = 2 42056 bits
Transmission Time Interval = 2 ms

=> Peak instantaneous bit rate = 42.056 Mbps
MAC-ehs re-transmission rate = 10 %

RLC re-transmissions rate = 1 %
=> Net Bit Rate = 37.43 Mbps
Application Layer (based upon TCP/IP protocol stack)
IP header size = 20 bytes

TCP header size = 36 bytes
MTU Size = 1500 bytes
=> TCP/IP overhead = 3.7 %

Performance
DC-HSDPA improves user bit rates and cell capacity by

allowing dynamic usage of two HSDPA carriers for a HSDPA
user
Improvement is due to multiple mechanisms

Higher peak bit rate via combination of bit rate of two carriers
Cell capacity gain via statistical multiplexing of larger number of users
Performance improvement in fading conditions by frequency selective
scheduling and carrier specific link adaptation
separate CQI for both carriers

belonging to the cell pair
Range
Name
0 (Disabled),
1 (Enabled)
DCellHSDPAEnabled
(WCEL)
Default
0 (Disabled)
Description
The parameter indicates whether or not the DC
HSDPA feature is enabled in the cell. Before the
feature is enabled in the cell, the system checks
that the maximum amount of DC HSDPAcapable cells is not exceeded. If it is not possible
to enable DC HSDPA for a new cell then the cell
setup does not succeed and error is printed out.
Two cells form a potential DC HSDPA cell pair when they have adjacent RF
carriers, belong to the same sector and have the same Tcell value
WCEL - UARFCN parameter defines the downlink channel number and the downlink
carrier frequency of the cell
WCEL - SectorID parameter gives a unique identifier to a sector of the base station where
the cell belongs to
WCEL - Tcell parameter defines the start of SCH, CPICH, Primary CCPCH and DL
Scrambling Code(s) in a cell relative to BFN

Enabling the Feature (II)
The MaxBitRateNRTMACDFlow parameter should be configured to 42112 kbps

Name
Range
MaxBitRateNRTMACDFlow 128..42112,
step 128,
(RNC)
65535 (no
restriction)
Default
Description
65535
The parameter can be used to limit the maximum bit

rate of NRT MAC-d flow. The bit rate used in the
reservation of resources for the MAC-d flow is the
minimum of max. bit rate based on UE capability, max.
bit rate of RAB, activated HSDPA bit rate features and
the value of this parameter. This parameter does not
limit the max. instantaneous air interface bit rate. Value
of the parameter is compared to the user bitrate
excluding MAC-hs header, RLC header and padding
(includes just RLC PDU payload).
Maximum value depends on the features licensed:
- no license for HSDPA 15 Codes, max. is 3456 kbps
- license for HSDPA 15 Codes, max. is 6784 kbps
- license for HSDPA 15 Codes and 10Mbps per User,
max. is 9600 kbps
- license for HSDPA 15 Codes and 14Mbps per User,
max. is 13440 kbps
- license for HSDPA 15 Codes and 64QAM, max. is
21120 kbps
- license for DC HSDPA, max. is 42112 kbps
If the value 65535 is used, then this parameter does
not restict the maximum bit rate.

maximum number but admission of SC HSDPA

scheduler. HS-DSCH MAC-d flow of the certain
SC HSDPA and DC HSDPA user is counted
once per scheduler. Each HS-DSCH MAC-d
flow of each SC and DC HSDPA user is
counted when the total number of HS-DSCH
MAC-d flows in the scheduler is calculated.
RNC does not exceed the maximum number
but admission of SC HSDPA and DC HSDPA
user is inhibited in the scheduler if the
maximum number is to be exceeded. This
parameter is defined per cell and because
scheduler consists of several cells, lowest
parameter values of cells forming scheduler
shall be used.

Power Saving Mode
DC-HSDPA has an impact upon the Power Saving Mode for BTS (RAN955)
The number of DC HSDPA users in a cell must be lower than or equal to the

Each DC HSDPA user is counted separately in the primary and secondary cells
This new criteria is an addition to the existing crieteria, and all criteria must be
fulfilled to shutdown a cell
