DC-HSDPA 2 Overview

2-1
2 Overview
Similar to Long Term Evolution (LTE), the HSPA technology is also influenced by the multi-carrieraggregations. The performance and throughputs of HSPA can be improved by using more bandwidth
provided by multi-carrier. The throughputs of end users thus can be double or more as compared tosingle carrier HSPA.
In releases earlier than Release 8, only a single carrier can be used for the HSDPA transmission of a UE.This is called single carrier HSDPA (SC-HSDPA) in this document.
The first phase of Multi-Carrier HSPA (MC-HSPA) based on 3GPP R8 Technical Specifications (TSs)uses two consecutive carriers in the downlink to transmit data for one subscriber and named as DualCarrier HSDPA (DC-HSDPA). The 3GPP R9 and beyond TSs specify the use of more than two carriersfor a single subscriber without the restrictions on the use of same frequency band.
The following figure shows the 3GPP evolution of MC-HSDPA.
Figure 2-1 Overview of MC-HSDPA
The requirements of DC-HSDPA are listed in the following table.
Table 2-1 Requirements of the DC-HSDPA
Item Requirement
CN The CN needs to support the downlink peak rate of 42 Mbit/s provided by downlink
DC-HSDPA with 64QAM.
RNC The RNC needs to support downlink enhanced L2.
The RNC provides the radio bearer scheme for DC-HSDPA.
NodeB DC-HSDPA requires NodeB to support MAC-ehs. A single MAC-ehs entity supportsHS-DSCH transmission in more than one cell served by the same Node-B (FDD only).
UE The UE can monitor a maximum of six HS-SCCHs in the two cells of DC-HSDPA. In eachcell, the UE can monitor a maximum of three HS-SCCHs at the same time.
In 3GPP Release 8, HS-DSCH categories 21, 22, 23, and 24 of the UE are added tosupport DC-HSDPA. In later 3GPP release, more HS-DSCH categories may supportDC-HSDPA.

DC-HSDPA 3 Basic Principle
Issue 01 (2010-03-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential

3-1
3 Basic Principle
3.1 Overview
DC-HSDPA allows a UE to set up HSDPA connections with two inter-frequency synchronous cells thathave the same coverage. In the downlink, the UE can receive different data through HS-DSCHs from thetwo cells simultaneously. In the uplink, however, the UE sends data only through its primary cell.
Figure 3-1 DC-HSDPA principle
The two cells (primary cell and secondary cell) of DC-HSDPA follow the following restrictions:
The two cells belong to the same sector of a NodeB and are inter-frequency same-coverage cells.
The two cells is in the same downlink resource group of a NodeB.
The two cells operate on adjacent carriers with a frequency spacing less than or eaqual to 5 MHz inthe same frequency band.
The two cells have the same timing (Tcell).
The two cells support HSDPA and enhanced L2.
The two cells belong to the same operator.
The dual cell transmission only applies to HSDPA physical channels.
The uplink of DC-HSDPA UE is in only the primary cell but not in the secondary cell.
DC-HSDPA improves the throughput and QoS of end users in the whole cell area even on the cell edges.Theoretically, DC-HSDPA with 64QAM can provide a peak rate of 42 Mbit/s in the downlink. This ratedoubles the peak rate provided by only 64QAM.
3.2 Cell Configuration
DC-HSDPA cell group consists of two cells: primary cell and secondary cell.
From the perspective of a UE, the two cells are as follows:

Primary cell (also called anchor cell) carries all the types of channel for a UE. Each UE has only oneprimary cell.
Secondary cell (also called supplementary cell) carries only three types of downlink (DL) channel for aUE. Each UE has only one secondary cell.
The three types of DL channel are as follows:− High-speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH)
− High-speed physical downlink shared channel (HS-PDSCH)
− Primary common pilot channel (P-CPICH)
Figure 3-2 shows the physical channels involved in DC-HSDPA for a UE.
Figure 3-2 Cell Configuration from the perspective of a UE
From the perspective of the network, both the cells can work as primary cell and secondary cell. The twocells can be deployed equivalently with the same configuration, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-3 Equivalent deployment of primary cell and secondary cell
In equivalent deployment of primary and secondary cells, the RNC selects the primary cell for UEsbased on the load and radio bearer scheme. Both cells can work independently for non-DC-HSDPA UEsor legacy HSDPA UEs.
Alternatively, the primary cell is configured with all channels whereas the secondary cell is configuredwith only HS-DSCH and P-CPICH. The secondary cell cannot work independently. This is callednon-equivalent deployment. Non-equivalent deployment is not supported.

3.3 Channel Mapping
Overview
Figure 3-4 Channel mapping of DC-HSDPA
DC-HSDPA UE receives two HS-DSCH transport channels from two cells of the same NodeB. EachHS-DSCH is mapped to one HS-SCCH and several HS-PDSCH physical channels.
The uplink DCH/E-DCH channels of DC-HSDPA are carried only on the primary cell.
All dedicated physical control channels DPCCH and DPCH/F-DPCH in uplink and downlink are carriedon the primary cell.
HS-SCCHIn releases earlier than 3GPP Release 8, a UE can monitor a maximum of four HS-SCCHs at the sametime, according to 3GPP TS 25.331. In DC-HSDPA cell group, the HS-SCCHs on the primary cell areindependent of those on the secondary cell. A UE can monitor a maximum of six HS-SCCHs at the sametime. In each cell, the UE can monitor a maximum of three HS-SCCHs at the same time.
There are three types of HS-SCCH, type 1 for common use, type 2 for HS-SCCH Less Operation, andtype 3 for MIMO. DC-HSDPA uses only HS-SCCH type 1. DC-HSDPA with HS-SCCH Less Operationuses HS-SCCH type 2.
HS-SCCH Less Operation applies only to the primary cell.
HS-DPCCH
The UE gives feedback on the CQIs and HARQ ACK/NACK about two cells on the HS-DPCCH channelto the primary cell. HS-DPCCH uses a new frame format that enables it to carry CQI and HARQ ACK/NACK information of the two cells in a TTI.
3.4 UE Categories
In 3GPP Release 8, HS-DSCH categories 21, 22, 23, and 24 of the UE are added to support DC-HSDPA,as listed in Table 3-1. This table is extracted from 3GPP TS 25.306.. In later 3GPP release, moreHS-DSCH categories may support DC-HSDPA.

The requirements for the UEs of different HS-DSCH categories when DC-HSDPA is not configured areas follows:
The UE of HS-DSCH category 21 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 9, 10, 13, 14,15, 16, 17, and 18.
The UE of HS-DSCH category 22 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 10, 14, 16,and 18.
The UE of HS-DSCH category 23 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 13, 14, 17, 18,19, and 20.
The UE of HS-DSCH category 24 needs to support at least one of HS-DSCH categories 14, 18, and20.
The peak rate can reach 42.192 Mbit/s (= 2 x TB_Size/TTI = 2 x 42192/2) at the MAC layer, with thesupport of the CN.
The DC-HSDPA UEs and MIMO UEs can co-exist in the same cell, but one UE cannot use MIMO andDC-HSDPA together.
3.5 NodeB MAC-ehsDC-HSDPA requires NodeB to support MAC-ehs. A single MAC-ehs entity supports HS-DSCHtransmission in more than one cell served by the same NodeB (FDD only). Queues of a DC-HSDPA UEare common for the two cells. Scheduler in NodeB arranges the data transmission of queues on the twocells. DC-HSDPA transmissions can be regarded as independent transmissions over two HS-DSCHchannels. There will be separate HARQ entity per HS-DSCH channel, that is, one HARQ process perTTI for single carrier transmission and two HARQ processes per TTI for dual carrier transmission.
MAC-ehs selects TFRC for the MAC-ehs PDUs of each cell independently based on the availableresources of the cells and CQI reported by UE.

3.6 Impact on Interfaces
To support DC-HSDPA, new Information Elements (IEs) are added to signaling messages.
UEs and cells can report its capacity of DC-HSDPA to the RNC through the Iub and Uu interfaces. TheRNC instructs cells to set up or reconfigure radio links with DC-HSDPA through the Iub interface. TheRNC instructs UEs to set up or reconfigure radio bearers with DC-HSDPA through the Uu.

Impact on Iub
When a cell receives the Audit Request message or when a new cell is setup or a cell capability ischanged, NodeB reports the cell capability to RNC in Audit Response message or Resource StateIndication message
When a cell supports DC-HSDPA, NodeB sets the Multi Cell Capability Info IE to Multi Cell Capable forthe cell in Audit Response and send the message to RNC.
If the cell is primary serving cell, all the possible secondary serving cell in the same sector must belisted in the Possible Secondary Cell List IE.
When RNC instruct a cell to set up a radio link with DC-HSDPA, the information of the secondary servingcell is added to the Radio Link Setup procedure or Radio Link Addition procedure.
The Additional HS Cell Information RL Setup IE is added to Radio Link Setup Request/Response/Failuremessages and Radio Link Addition Request/Response/Failure messages to indicate the usage ofDC-HSDPA and associated parameters.
Impact on UuIn the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST, the Multi cell support IE is added to indicate the UE capability ofsupporting multiple cell.
In the RRC Connection Setup Complete and UE Capability Information message, the Physical ChannelCapability IE is extended to indicate the UE capability of DC-HSDPA.

4 Technical Descript ion
4.1 Overview
This document describes only the functions that are different from those of SC-HSDPA.
The functions described in this document are as follows:
Radio Bearers
State transition
Mobility management
Load control
Scheduling
For details about other associated functions, see the HSDPA Feature Parameter Description.
4.2 Radio BearersWhen downlink transport channel HS-DSCH is selected for streaming or BE services or combinedservice with streaming or BE, the DC-HSDPA may apply to them. When there is only a CS service, PSconversational service, IMS signaling, or SRB signaling, the DC-HSDPA technology is not used becauseof small traffic volume and low transmission delay. For details of radio bearers, see the HSDPA FeatureParameter Description.
Before using DC-HSDPA for a service, you need to configure on RNC and NodeB respectively to enablethe feature.
In NodeB:
− You need to setup two cells to support DC-HSDPA. The two cells operate on adjacent carriers with a
frequency spacing of 5 MHz or less than 5 MHz in the same frequency band. The two carriers arespecified by frequency channel numbers (DLFREQ/ ULFREQ).
− The two cells are configured as a DC-HSDPA group ( ADD DUALCELLGRP). The two cells arespecified by the parameters (FRSTLOCELL, SECONDLOCELL).
In RNC:
− You need to turn on the switch CfgSwitch: CFG_HSDPA_DC_SWITCH and HspaPlusSwitch:DC_HSDPA.
− The preferred feature should be set to DC_HSDPA through the parameterMIMO64QAMorDcHSDPASwitch .
− The timing (Tcell) of the two cells needs to be set to the same value.
64QAM can be enabled in one or both cells in the DC-HSDPA cell group. DC-HSDPA and 64QAM canrun at the same time.
Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC) function can be enabled in the DC-HSDPA cells but with thefollowing limitations:
CPC DTX is applicable to primary cell only because there will be no uplink control channel for theDC-HSDPA UE on secondary cell
CPC HS-SCCH Less Operation is applicable to primary cell only and is not applicable to secondarycell.
CPC DRX for DC-HSDPA UE on two carriers is similar to that of the single cell operation.
In 3GPP R8-based HSPA+, it is an optional choice for the operators to select DC-HSDPA or MIMO.However, in later 3GPP standards the DC and MIMO could be deployed together.

In RAN12.0, a cell can enable and run DC-HSDPA and MIMO functions at the same time but a singleUE can use only one instead of both at the same time.
In RAN12.0, the two cells in a DC-HSDPA cell group cannot support MIMO at the same time. Only oneof them can support MIMO.
In RAN13.0, a cell can run DC-HSDPA and MIMO functions at the same time and both of the two cellsin a DC-HSDPA cell group can support MIMO at the same time.
DC-HSDPA with 64QAM can reach a peak rate of 42 Mbit/s. You need licenses to enable the function of42 Mbit/s in the downlink.
TCP protocol is widely used in data transmission. As a file is being downloaded, the TCPacknowledgement is sent in uplink. The higher the rate of download is, the larger the bandwidth isrequired in uplink. If the download rate reaches up to 42Mbps, the rate of TCP acknowledgement inuplink is much higher than 384kbps which is the highest rate supported by DCH. HSUPA bearer isrequired to provide high bandwidth in uplink to transmit TCP acknowledgement in time. DL 42Mbps peruser can be supported only in case of HSUPA being used.
4.3 State Transit ionDC-HSDPA state transition is based on the strategy of SC-HSDPA state transition. In addition, itconsiders the primary cell during state transition.
Assume that a DC-HSDPA UE preferentially selects F2 as the primary cell. Then, the strategy ofDC-HSDPA state transition is as follows:
To move from the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, or URA_PCH state to the CELL_DCH state:
1. If the UE is allowed to access the F2 cell, the UE moves to the CELL_DCH state in this cell.
2. If the UE is not allowed to access the F2 cell, other DC-HSDPA cells in a DRD candidate cell set areattempted:
3. If the UE is allowed to access one of the candidate cells, the UE moves to the CELL_DCH state inthis cell.
4. If the UE is not allowed to access any of the candidate cells, the UE performs the followingoperations:
− If the UL service was carried on the HSUPA channel, the UL falls back to DCH:
If the UE is allowed to access the cell, the UE moves to the CELL_DCH state.
If the UE is not allowed to access the cell, the state transition fails and the UE stays in the originalstate.
− If the UL service was carried on the DCH, the state transition fails and the UE stays in the originalstate.
To move from the CELL_DCH state to the CELL_FACH state, the DC-HSDPA UE performs the statetransition in the primary-carrier cell, like an SC-HSDPA UE.
To move from the CELL_FACH state to the CELL_PCH state, the DC-HSDPA UE performs the samestate transition as a SC-HSDPA UE because the DC-HSDPA UE in CELL_FACH state can use only onefrequency.
4.4 Mobili ty Management
The introduction of DC-HSDPA has no impact on handover measurement triggering and handoverdecision. During handover execution, however, the RNC needs to decide whether to continue to use theDC-HSDPA technology after the handover if the target cell supports DC-HSDPA or whether to use anon-DC-HSDPA technology after the handover if the target cell does not support DC-HSDPA.

This section describes only the mobility management of DC-HSDPA. For other information abouthandover, see the Handover Feature Parameter Description.
Measurement Control
The active set is maintained for primary-carrier only. In other words, for DC-HSDPA intra-frequencyhandover, only the signal quality of the primary-carrier cell and its neighboring cells needs to bemeasured.
For DC-HSDPA inter-frequency handover, except for the signal quality of the primary-carrier cell and itsneighboring cells, the signal quality of the secondary-carrier cell also needs to be measured asinter-frequency neighboring cell.
If the UE has a dual-frequency receiver, it can perform inter-frequency measurement without starting thecompressed mode if all of the following conditions are met:
The CmpSwitch: CMP_UU_ADJACENT_FREQ_CM_SWITCH is on.
The value of the IE "Adjacent frequency measurements without compressed mode" reported by the
UE is TRUE. For the UE that supports dual-carrier HSDPA(DC-HSDPA):
− If the UE has a DC-HSDPA service, all the cells involved in inter-frequency measurement are at thesame frequency as the supplementary carrier.
− If the UE does not have a DC-HSDPA service, all the cells involved in inter-frequency measurementare at the same frequency, with a 5 MHz spacing from the current cell, but within the same band asthe current cell.
Handover Between DC-HSDPA Cells
When receiving a measurement report indicating that the signal quality of a DC-HSDPA cell is better thanthat of the serving cell (a DC-HSDPA cell), the RNC decides whether to perform a DC-HSDPA handover
to the target cell:
If the admission to the target cell is allowed and the corresponding configuration is successful, theRNC performs the handover.
If the admission to the target cell is allowed but the corresponding configuration is unsuccessful, theRNC reconfigures the service on SC-HSDPA and then performs an SC-HSDPA handover.
If the admission to the target cell is not allowed, the RNC reconfigures the service on DCH andperforms a DCH handover:
− If the DCH handover is allowed, the RNC performs the handover.
− Otherwise, the RNC does not perform the handover.
Handover from a DC-HSDPA Cell to a Non-DC-HSDPA CellWhen receiving a measurement report indicating that the signal quality of a non-DC-HSDPA cell is betterthan that of the serving cell (a DC-HSDPA cell), the RNC reconfigures the service to DCH or HSDPA andcontinue handover procedure.
Handover from a Non-DC-HSDPA Cell to a DC-HSDPA Cell
When receiving a measurement report indicating that the signal quality of a DC-HSDPA cell is better thanthat of the serving cell (a non-HSDPA cell), the RNC performs a handover after which the HSPA+technologies supported by both the source cell and the target cell are used in the target cell. If suchHSPA+ technologies are ranked lower than some HSPA+ technologies supported by both the target celland the UE, the ChannelRetryHoTimerLen timer is started after the handover. When the timer expires,
the RNC tries to reconfigure the traffic radio bearer (TRB) and signaling radio bearer (SRB) to enablethem to support the higher-ranked HSPA+ technologies.

4.5 Load Control
4.5.1 RAB DRD
During RB setup or state transition from CELL_FACH to CELL_DCH, the RNC makes DRDs to select aDC-HSDPA cell group and then select a primary-carrier cell for the UE.
For details of DRD, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
DRD Procedure
The procedure is as follows:
1. The RNC selects a set of candidate cells that meet the DRD quality conditions.
For details, see the Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
2. The RNC selects DC-HSDPA cell group according to the HSPA+ technological satisfaction.
The RNC selects a cell with the highest priority as the target cell according to the HSPA+ technological
satisfaction. Based on this cell, the RNC searches for the corresponding DC-HSPA cell group andtakes this group as the DC-HSPA cell group, and perform step 4. If there are multiple DC-HSPA cellgroups with the same HSPA+ technological satisfaction, the RNC performs step 3.
3. The RNC select a DC-HSDPA cell group as follows:
If the parameter ServiceDiffDrdSwitch is on, the RNC selects a group with the highest servicepriority.
For details, see section "Cell Group Selection Based on Service Priorities."
If there are multiple DC-HSDPA cell groups with the same highest service priority, the RNC selects agroup based on DL load balancing between these groups.
4. the RNC selects an primary-carrier cell from the DC-HSDPA cell group as follows:
The RNC selects an primary-carrier according to HSPA+ technological satisfaction, cell service priority.If all the HSPA+ technological satisfaction, cell service priority of the two cell are the same. The RNCperforms the following step:
a) If the ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA switch is turned on, the RNC selects a primary-carrier cellbased on UL load balancing between the two cells. For details, see section "Cell Selection Based onUL Loads."
b) If the ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA switch is turned off, the RNC selects the cell randomly.
5. If the directed retry fails, the RNC repeats the RAB DRD procedure until all the candidate cell groupsare tried.
Cell Group Selection Based on Service Priori ties
If different DC-HSDPA cell groups support the same HSPA+ technologies, these groups are ranked onthe basis of their service priorities.
The service priority of a DC-HSDPA cell group is determined by the highest service priority of the twocells in the group.
Table 4-1 lists the reference service priorities for different service bearers.

Cell Selection Based on UL Loads
If the ULLdbDRDSwitchDcHSDPA switch is turned on, the RNC determines the primary-carrier cellbased on UL load balancing between the two cells.
If the current serving cell is not in the target DC-HSDPA cell group, the RNC select a primary cell withlower uplink load. Otherwise the RNC checks whether the remaining UL load resource of the serving cellis lower than or equal to the value of ULLdbDRDLoadRemainThdDCHSDPA:
If the remaining UL load is larger than the threshold, the RNC selects the serving cell as theprimary-carrier cell because its UL load is lower.
If the remaining UL load is less than the threshold, the RNC calculates the difference between the ULload margin of the serving cell and that of the target cell. Then,
− If the difference is greater than the value of ULLdbDRDOffsetDcHSDPA, the RNC selects the targetcell as the primary-carrier cell because its UL load is lower.
− Otherwise, the RNC selects the serving cell as the primary-carrier cell.
4.5.2 Call Admission Control
Overview
In terms of the Call Admission Control (CAC) based on the code resource, CE resource, or Iub resource,DC-HSDPA CAC is not changed, compared with SC-HSDPA CAC.
In terms of the CAC based on the DL power or equivalent number of users (ENU), DC-HSDPA CAC ischanged, that is, the resources of the DC-HSDPA cell group need to be considered.
CAC Based on the DL Power
Figure 4-1 takes the DL power as an example to show the distribution of the resources of the two cells,
which form a DC-HSDPA cell group.

Figure 4-1 DL power of a DC-HSDPA cell group
The variables in Figure 4-1 are described as follows:
Pmax: maximum DL power of a cell
Pnon-HSPA: DL power used for non-HSPA UEs in a cell
GBPSC-H: DL power required by the HS-PDSCHs to provide GBRs for SC-HSDPA UEs in a cell.
GBPDC-H: DL power required by the HS-PDSCHs to provide GBRs for the DC-HSDPA UEs in theDC-HSDPA cell group.
For a DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC based on the total DL power margin of the DC-HSDPAcell group because the UE can use the DL power margin of any of the two cells after the admission.
For a non-DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC based on the total DL power of the serving cellminus the DL power used for the existing non-DC-HSDPA UEs in this cell. If the admission is successful,the RNC continues to perform the CAC based on the total DL power margin of the DC-HSDPA cellgroup.
CAC Based on the ENU
The CAC based on the ENU is similar to the CAC based on the DL power.
For a DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC based on the total ENU of the DC-HSDPA cell group.
For a non-DC-HSDPA UE, the RNC performs the CAC first based on the ENU of the serving cell. If theadmission is successful, the RNC continues to perform the CAC based on the ENU of the DC-HSDPAcell group.
CAC Based on the Number of HSDPA Users
The HSDPA services have to undergo admission decision based on the number of HSDPA users. TheDC-HSDPA costs one HSDPA license user in only primary cell.
4.5.3 Queuing and Premption
The UE requesting DC-HSDPA services will be queued in the selected primary cell. The queuing
principle is the same as that described in Load Control Feature Parameter Description.

For DC-HSDPA services, the RNC selects the primary cell in the DC-HSDPA cell group to performpreemption.
4.5.4 Load Reshuff ling and Overload Control
The power of the cell group may trigger basic congestion and overload. If the load of non-HSPA powerand GBP in the two cells is higher than or equal to the sum of the DL LDR/overload trigger threshold ofthe two cells, the cell group is in basic congestion state.
If the cell group is in the basic congestion or overload state, both cells are in the basic congestion oroverload state. The actions to relieve congestion or overload are performed in each cell separately. Theactions to relieve basic congestion are inter-frequency and inter-RAT handover. The actions to relieveoverload are the same as that of RAN11.0.
4.6 Scheduling
The NodeB determine the queuing of this UE and other UEs in one cell. The method of DC-HSDPAscheduling is similar to that of SC-HSDPA scheduling. For details, see the HSDPA Feature ParameterDescription. This section describes only the difference between the two scheduling methods.
The calculation of the scheduling priority of a DC-HSDPA queue needs to consider the different CQIsand Uu rates of the two carriers. In the proportional fair (PF) algorithm and enhanced proportional fair(EPF) algorithm, R/r used for DC-HSDPA is different from that used for SC-HSDPA:
For SC-HSDPA, R represents the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE for thiscarrier, and r represents the throughput currently achieved by the UE. A greater R/r value indicates ahigher scheduling priority.
For DC-HSDPA, R represents the throughput corresponding to the CQI reported by the UE for thiscarrier, and r represents the total throughput currently achieved by the UE on the two carriers.
