Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 Overview of HSPA+

HSPA+ is introduced in the 3GPP Release 7. It is an enhancement to HSDPA introduced in the WCDMA protocol of R6. The use of the HSPA+ technology helps provide higher data rate on downlink radio links and improve the throughput of a single user and cell capacity. Therefore, the HSPA+ further improves the service experience of end users. As the most important feature of RAN11.0, the HSPA+ benefits mobile operators and end users in the following aspects: 64QAM: DL 64QAM allows the use of 64QAM in HSDPA to increase the number of bits per symbol and thus to obtain higher transmission rates. The peak rate at the MAC layer can reach 21 Mbit/s. . 2x2MIMO: MIMO increases transmission rates through space multiplexing and improves channel qualities through space diversity. The network side can dynamically select single- or dual-stream transmission according to channel conditions. The peak rate at the MAC layer can reach 28 Mbit/s. . DL Enhanced Layer 2: This feature allows Uu L2 to use flexible PDU size on RLC layer and segmentation on MAC layer. The feature prevents the L2 from becoming the bottleneck of higher Uu rate increased by MIMO and 64QAM.. CPC: CPC allows the uplink and downlink transmissions to take place at periodic intervals. This feature reduces the transmitted power (and thus increases the UE battery life) because the UE does not have to monitor and transmit overhead channels every TTl. This reduction in the transmitted power also helps to increase the uplink capacity by decreasing the total interference. This improvement is especially significant when there are users who transmit data infrequently as VoIP users. CPC feature consists of DL-DRX, UL DTX and HS-SCCH Less Operation. . Enhanced CELL_FACH: Enhanced CELL_FACH operation allows the use of HSDPA technologies for the UEs in the CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH, and URA_PCH state. The purpose is to increase the peak rates in these states and reduce the signaling transmission delay during service setup or state transition with the result improving the user experience. . The 64QAM and MIMO are the most important and commercialized features of the HSPA+ technology. This document only involves the 64QAM, MIMO, and Enhanced Layer 2 (basis of the two important features). Enhanced CELL_FACH and CPC are not described here. In a cellular network, the uplink traffic and downlink traffic are unbalanced. Generally, the downlink capability is 2–5 times the uplink capability. Therefore, the downlink capability in the WCDMA system is limited. For the downlink coverage, the downlink transmit power of the BTS



is far greater than the uplink transmit power of the UE. Typically, the downlink transmit power of the BTS is 43 dBm, and the uplink transmit power of the UE is 21–24 dBm. Therefore, uplink UEs are easy to obtain higher SNR. In the case of high SNR, the higher-order modulation technology can be used to obtain the higher spectral efficiency. Therefore, the 64 QAM high-order modulation technology is introduced in R7 (the 16 QAM modulation is applied in R6). From the aspects of mobile operators and terminal users, the HSPA+ has the following advantages:

Expand the downlink capacity of the network and obtain higher spectral efficiency in the case of higher SNR.

The HSPA+ 64QAM provides a higher data transmission rate than the HSDPA. Theoretically, if the 64QAM technology is adopted, the peak rate is 21.096 Mbit/s (Formula: TB_Size/TTI = 42192 / 2ms = 21.096 Mbit/s). Using the space diversity method, the MIMO technology adopts the multi-antenna technology on the transmitting side and receiving side to improve the transmission capacity of the radio communication system by several times without increasing transmit power and bandwidth in the high SNR environment (the transmission capacity is in proportion to the number of antennas). Theoretically, if the HSPA+ MIMO technology is adopted, the peak rate is 27.952 Mbit/s (Formula: TB_Size/TTI = 27952 / 2ms x 2 (double data stream) = 27.952 Mbit/s). For operators, the use of the HSPA+ can reduce the unit cost for transmitting every mega bytes of data stream, increase average system capability, enhance downlink data service performance of a UE, and improves the cell throughput.

Improve service performance of end users.

The HSPA+ offers a higher data transmission rate, short service response time, and reliable service performance for a UE. Therefore, it improves the service experience of the UE.

Upgrade on the existing WCDMA network.

Mobile operators concern about the expenses for building an HSPA+ network. This depends on the equipment price and the service strategies of a single operator. As a high-rate data service enhancement technology in the WCDMA R5, the HSPA+ is compatible with the HSPA of earlier versions and R99. The operator can upgrade NodeBs in the existing WCDMA R99 network to introduce the HSPA+ with little impact on the existing architecture. This helps shorten the network construction period and protect the investments of the operator. Constraint: This document describes the 64QAM, 2x2MIMO, and Enhanced Layer 2 of the R7 HSPA+, excluding the E_FACH and CPC technologies. HSDPA: The HSDPA involved in this document refers to the R5/R6 HSDPA technology, excluding the 64QAM and MIMO technologies in R7.

1.3 Principles

1.3.1 HSPA+ Code Allocation Policy

HS-PDSCH: The HSPA throughput of a cell depends on the number of HS-PDSCH codes in the cell. The maximum number of codes supported by a UE depends on the HSDPA category of the UE. Generally, the HSPA+ code allocation policy is the same as that of RAN10. The HSPA+ introduction requires more code resources. Therefore, more HS-PDSCH codes must be configured to meet high speed requirements. HS-PDSCH codes can be allocated in following modes:

Static code allocation

Dynamic code allocation controlled by the RNC

Dynamic code allocation controlled by the Node B

An HS-SCCH carries the information about the downlink HS-PDSCH allocated for each UE. The information carried in the HS-SCCH includes the information required by the UE to demodulate the HS-PDSCH, including UE ID, HS-PDSCH code allocation information, modulation mode, and transport block size. Each HS-SCCH contains 128 spreading factors (SFs). Within 2ms TTI, the information carried on each HS-SCCH is intended for one UE. To schedule multiple UEs within 2 ms, multiple HS-SCCHs are required.

1.3.2 Flow Control

The HSPA+ introduces the Enhanced Layer 2, E-FACH, CS AMR over HSDPA. Therefore, the flow control policies of the HSPA+ differ from those of RAN10. However, the general goal is to transmit traffic through the MAC-d flow of the Iub interface to make full use the bandwidth of the Iub interface, cooperate with the HSPA+ scheduling to make efficient use of resources of the Iub interface, and ensure that services with higher priorities are transmitted preferentially. The main difference is that no flow control policies are adopted for the SRB, IMS, VOIP, CS over HSDPA and flow control policies of the E-FACH are added. This document only involves the 64QAM and



MIMO and ignores new flow control policies. Purposes of flow control are as follows:

Control the transmission of the HSPA data stream of the MAC-d or MAC-c/sh from the RNC on the Iub interface.

Implement the traffic shaping function on the Iub interface.

Ensure that the queue buffer saves enough data to be transmitted.

The flow control requires to consider the following factors:

Transmission capability of the Uu interface

Transport bandwidth on the Iub interface

Buffer usage of the Node B

Amount of data to be transmitted on the RNC

Packet loss ratio on the Iub interface

Transmission delay on the Iub interface

1.3.3 Scheduling

The object of the scheduling algorithm is all the UEs that need to share the HSPA+ and HSPA channels. The scheduling algorithm is used to balance the resources and UEs. Compared with RAN10.0, the HSPA+ increases the Layer 2 Enhancement and CS AMR over HSDPA, affects the scheduling algorithm, supports Layer 2 Enhancement and enhancement technology in the physical layer, and optimizes the QoS guarantee policies of the non-real-time service (background or interactive service) and real-time services such as Streaming, VoIP, CS AMR carried on the HS-DSCH.

Factors to be considered are as follows:

Consider the fairness. Make sure that every UE has the chance to transmit data.

Consider the channel conditions. A channel with a high carrier-to-interference rate (C/I) and a great CQI is more likely to be chosen.

Consider the priority. The UE with higher priority tends to be chosen.

Common scheduling algorithms are as follows:

RR Scheduling: This algorithm schedules all the UEs in turn. It aims at ensuring fairness, that is, each UE can be served in a certain period of time.

Max C/I: It aims at obtaining the maximum system capacity and highest resource utilization without considering the fairness.

PF: Proportion equity scheduling algorithm. Regard the RR and Max C/I as special PFs.



EPF: Enhanced proportion equity scheduling algorithm.

PF-QoS: General name of algorithms (based on the PF algorithm) aiming at ensuring the quality of services (new algorithm in RAN11.0).

1.3.4 Power Control on HSPA+ Channels

Similar to physical channels of RAN10.0, HSPA+ channels include UL HS-DPCCH, DL HS-PDSCH, and DL HS-SCCH. Power control on HSPA+ channels refers to that on these three types of channels. Dynamic power control is recommended.

1.3.5 HSPA+ RRM Policy

Similar to the RAN10.0, the HSPA+ admission control includes power admission control on streaming and BE services and admission control of bandwidth of the Iub interface. To support the enhancement function of the inter-frequency networking, the HSPA supports the DRD function. The DRD function can be triggered by the following factors:

The HSPA service is initiated in cell R99.

Traffic

Retry timer

Access failure of the HSPA service

The load control policy of the HSPA+ is similar to that of the HSDPA. LDR algorithm: If the usage of cell resources exceeds the basic congestion threshold, the cell enters into the basic congestion state. In this case, the cell triggers the LDR to relieve the cell resource congestion. OLC algorithm: When the uplink or downlink power in an R99 cell exceeds the uplink or downlink triggering threshold for OLC, the R99 cell enters into the overload congestion state. To ensure the system stability, fast OLC actions are required to quickly eliminate the overload congestion of the cell. If the uplink or downlink power of R99 cell is lower than the uplink or downlink congestion releasing threshold for OLC, the R99 cell enters into the basic congestion state.



Chapter 2 Introduction to Basic Principles

2.1 Overview of Basic HSPA+ Principles

In R6, the HSDPA increases a transmission channel (HS-DSCH) and three physical channels, that is, HS-SCCH, HS-PDSCH, and HS-DPCCH. The HSPA+ still uses the preceding channels of the HSDPA. However, the channel structure changes. This is described in following parts. At Node B, the HSDPA increases the multi-user scheduling function and rapid retransmission function in the physical layer, Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC), Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), and fast scheduling. These technologies aim at improving the downlink user throughput and resource utilization. However, the HSPA cannot support the rapid power control function and there is no combining gain of downlink HSPA channels during soft handover. To support the high-speed data transmission capability of the HSPA+, the Layer 2 Enhancement technology is introduced in R7 to flexibly adapt to changes of the Uu interface. In addition, the 64 QAM and MIMO must be based on the Layer Enhancement technology, that is, the two technologies can be implemented only when the Layer Enhancement technology is supported. The R7 protocol specifies that a UE cannot adopt both the 64 QAM and the MIMO at the same time.

2.2 Key Technologies of HSPA+

2.2.1 Adaptive Modulation and Coding

The basic method of implementing the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) technology is to measure the quality of downlink channels and adjust the coding and modulation solution in an adaptive manner based on the measurement result (expressed by CQI) to select the appropriate modulation and coding rate to maximize the data transmission rate. The 1/3 Turbo code is the basic code. The modulation modes include QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM. The 64QAM high-order modulation which is a new function of the HSPA+ is used to improve the downlink peak rate.

2.2.2 HARQ

The Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) is an error correction technology. The HARQ combines the forward error code (FEC) and automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) technologies. R99 and R44 adopt the traditional ARQ method that is implemented on the RLC layer. Similar to the HSDPA, the HSPA+ adopts the SAW HARQ protocol. If the SAW HARQ protocol is adopted, for each channel, the next data packet is transmitted only when the correct acknowledgement information of the previous data packet is received. The protocol is simple, but the channel utilization is low. The SAW HARQ protocol can solve the problem of low channel utilization.



2.2.3 Schedule

Similar to the HSDPA, the HSPA+ provides downlink HS-DSCHs for all the users to transmit data. Resources are shared through code multiplexing and time multiplexing.

Figure 1 Code multiplexing combination

Rapidly schedule different UEs to allocate resources to users with high-quality channels to greatly improve system capacity.

2.2.4 Layer 2 Enhancement

Before the Layer 2 Enhancement technology is introduced in the R7 protocol, RLC PDU Size is set to a fixed value. Due to the great change of the transmission of the Uu interface, RLC PDU Size is usually set to 320 bits or 640 bits. By default, RLC Window Size is set to 2048. According to the preceding typical configuration, the RTT delay between the data sending to the receiving of the acknowledge message is 100 ms, and the supported highest transmission rate is 13.1Mbps (Formula: 640bits x 2048/0.1s = 13.1Mbps). This cannot meet the high-speed requirement of the HSPA+. Therefore, the Layer 2 Enhancement technology is introduced. The basic principle of the Layer 2 Enhancement technology is to introduce a variable length PDU in the RLC layer. According to the protocol, the RLC layer supports up to 1500-byte PDU. In addition, to support the Layer 2 Enhancement technology, MAC-ehs is introduced in the MAC, and the related HS-DSCH FP changes.

2.2.5 64QAM High-Order Modulation

The 64QAM technology adopts higher order modulation to provide data traffic higher than the HSDPA by quickly adjusting downlink modulation and coding mode in better radio environment. Theoretically, if the 64QAM technology is adopted, the peak rate is 21.096 Mbit/s (Formula: TB_Size/TTI = 42192 / 2ms = 21.096 Mbit/s)



2.2.6 2x2MIMO

Using the space diversity method, the MIMO technology adopts the multi-antenna technology on the transmitting end and receiving end to improve the transmission capacity of the radio communication system by several times without increasing transmit power and bandwidth in the high SNR environment (the transmission capacity is in proportion to the number of antennas). Currently, the typical scenario is 2x2MIMO, that is, dual-fed and dual-receiving mode. Theoretically, if the MIMO technology is adopted, the peak rate is 27.952 Mbit/s (Formula: TB_Size/TTI = 27952 / 2ms x 2 (double data stream) = 27.952 Mbit/s) Note that the 64QAM and MIMO cannot be configured in the R7 protocol at the same time.

2.3 Structure of HSPA+ Channels

The HSPA+ uses the same channels with the HSDPA, such as HS-DSCHs used for carrying downlink user data, HS-SCCHs used for carrying downlink control information, and HS-DPCCHs used for carrying uplink control information. For the HSPA+, the structure of HS-DSCHs is reserved. However, structures of HS-SCCHs and HS-DPCCHs change. This is described in subsequent parts.

2.3.1 HS-DSCH

As downlink shared channels, HS-DSCHs are used to carry downlink user data. The spreading factor of each HS-DSCH is fixed to 16. In each cell, a maximum of 15 SFs (equal to 16) are configured for HS-DSCHs. All UEs share these HS-DSCHs through the time multiplexing and code multiplexing. The number of configured HS-DSCH codes determines the HSPA capability of the cell. The number of HS-DSCH codes used by the UE depends on the capacity. To adapt to high-speed data transmission and rapid response to channel changes, the TTI of HS-DSCHs is 3slot, that is, 2ms. The BTS schedules UEs in a TTI of 2ms. Compared with HSDPA channels, HS-DSCHs of the HSPA+ support 64QAM high-order modulation. Therefore, the spectral efficiency is improved further. HS-DSCHs support the retransmission gain combing through the HARQ mechanism. HS-DSCHs do not support rapid power control and select the appropriate channel code combination, chip rate, and modulation mode.

2.3.2 HS-SCCH

HS-SCCHs are downlink shared channels. Each HS-SCCH carries the information required for the UE to demodulate the HS-PDSCH, including UE ID, HS-DSCH code allocation information, modulation mode, and transport block size. Through the information, the UE determines whether the data on HS-DSCHs are sent to the UE and how to receive the data. The information carried by HS-SCCHs is important for the UE to demodulate the HS-DSCHs. HS-SCCHs transmit information two slots in advance than the corresponding HS-DSCHs. Therefore, the UE decides whether to demodulate HS-DSCHs after demodulating HS-SCCHs. The spreading factor of each HS-SCCH is 128. In a 2-ms TTI, the information carried on each HS-SCCH can only be used for one UE. Therefore, multiple HS-SCCHs must be configured if you schedule multiple UEs within 2 ms. A UE monitors a maximum of four HS-SCCHs at the same time.

2.3.3 HS-DPCCH

HS-DPCCHs are uplink dedicated hannels. The spreading factor is 256. An uplink HS-DPCCH must be established for an HSPA-enabled UE. The uplink HS-DPCCH and other uplink channels of the UE adopt the code multiplexing mode. For non-MIMO users, information carried on HS-DPCCHs includes the ACK/NACK message used for the rapid retransmission in the physical layer and the CQI (channel quality result) measured by the UE. The BTS determines whether to transmit downlink data through the information.

2.4 Data Transmission on Physical Layer of HSPA+

This section describes data transmission on the physical layer of the HSPA+. Then, you can understand the role of each channel during the data transmission. If the setup of an HSPA+-enabled cell is supported, the BTS establishes downlink channels in terms of the number of HS-DSCH codes and the number of HS-SCCH codes. After an HSPA service is established, the UE continually measures the signal quality in the radio environment, calculates the CQI according to the pilot of the cell and the Measure Power Offset (MPO) configured for the UE by the BTS, and reports the CQI to the BTS through uplink HS-DPCCHs. The UE continually monitors the downlink HS-SCCHs to check whether the data is sent to the UE. After receiving the CQI, the BTS determines whether to send the data to the UE according to the CQI, PCI (only for MIMO users), BTS resource utilization, and UE capability. If yes, the BTS transmits the data block information, including the data block size, codes to be used, modulation



mode, and UE ID through HS-SCCHs. After two timeslots, the BTS transmits the data blocks of the UE on HS-DSCHs. If the UE finds that the data block information on HS-SCCHs is transmitted to the UE, the UE demodulates the HS-DSCHs by using the obtained information after two timeslots to obtain the data block information. In step 2, the CQI reporting period is set by the BTS to 2 ms, 4 ms, 8 ms, or 16 ms. Steps 3–5 are performed every 2 ms.

2.5 MAC-ehs Entity

Figure 6 MAC-ehs entity

After the Layer 2 Enhancement is introduced, MAC-ehs entities are added in the MAC layer of the Node B. Each cell has only one MAC-ehs entity.

If the UE supports the Layer 2 Enhancement technology during the HSDPA downlink data transmission, you can configure MAC-ehs or MAC-hs entities to process data transmitted on HS-DSCHs. The Layer 2 Enhancement technology is the basis of the 64QAM, MIMO, and Cell FACH. The RNC determines whether to configure the UE to use MAC-ehs entities according to the capability of the cell and UE. The great difference between the MAC-ehs and the MAC-hs is that the MAC-hs supports data segmentation and concatenation, supports multiple prior queues (a maximum of three), reorders and multiplexes SDUs (a maximum of 26) to MAC-ehs PDUs (2x2MIMO, that is, two MAC-ehs PDUs are transmitted during a TTI).



2.6 HSPA+ Signaling Plane and User Plane

2.6.1 HSPA+ Signaling Plane

With the introduction of the 64QAM and MIMO, certain information elements are added and related signaling procedures are affected. The following signaling procedures are for reference only. If the Node B supports the 64QAM or MIMO, the support capability must be notified to the 64QAM-enabled UEs...

If a local cell supports the 64QAM or MIMO, the AUDIT RESPONSE from the Node B to the RNC must include the indication that the 64QAM or MIMO is supported.

2. Resource status indication

The Layer 2 Enhancement technology is introduced in the HSPA+. Therefore, the type-2 data frame is added as shown in the preceding figure. The type-2 data frame supports the variable PDU size, and the frame header indicates the length of different data blocks.

After the Layer 2 Enhancement technology is introduced, the capacity allocation frames can be classified into type 1 data frames and type 2 data frames. For HSDPA users supporting the Layer 2 Enhancement technology, type 1 data frames are adopted. Otherwise, type 2 data frames are adopted.

2.7 Mobility Management

2.7.1 HSPA+ Intra-Frequency Handover Policy

From the perspective of mobility, the HSPA+ is the same as R5 HSDPA, that is, the mobility control is based on changes of the serving cell, and the serving cell changes through the 1x events. To achieve high-quality data transmission on HS-DSCHs, the RNC is required to map the RAB to the HS-DSCHs of the best serving cell. Generally, the 1D measurement event (change of the best serving cell) is used to trigger the changes of the HS-DSCH serving cell to.

The introduction of the HSPA+ brings the following impacts on mobility:

Add intra-frequency handover between 64QAM cells or MIMO cells.

Add the handover between 64QAM cells and HSDPA/R99 cells or between MIMO cells and HSDPA/R99 cells due to changes of the cell capability.



UEs in the CELL_DCH state can use technologies such as 64QAM, MIMO, Layer 2 Enhancement. The prerequisite is that the corresponding cell implements the HSPA+ feature.

2.7.2 HSPA+ Inter-Frequency Handover Policy

The inter-frequency handover policies of the HSPA+ are the same as those of the HSDPA. The hard handover can be performed when the serving cell is being upgraded. Intra-Node B hard handover adopts the same signaling procedure with the inter-Node B hard handover. In this procedure, radio links and HS-DSCHs are set up in the new cell, physical channels are reconfigured, and old links are removed.

2.7.3 HSPA+ Inter-System Handover Policy

3G->2G handover The 3G-to-2G handover process of an HSPA+-enabled UE is the same as that of an HSDPA-enabled UE. If the HSPA+-enabled UE is set to disable the compression mode through the SET CMCF command, services are carried on DCHs (the compression mode is enabled). Then, the UE switches to the 2G network. When services of the HSPA+-UE are carried on DCHs, the H2D process is started. The Uu interface and the Iub interface complete the RB reconfiguration and the RL reconfiguration respectively to run the service on DCHs instead of HS-DSCHs. 2G->3G handover The 2G-to-3G handover process of the HSPA+ is the same as that of the HSDPA. If HS-DSCHs can carry the RAB with requested rate, the RB is set up on HS-DSCHs.

Chapter 4 Data Configuration Policy

4.1 HSPA+ Network Establishment

4.1.1 GGSN Configuration (Huawei)

The HSPA+ provides a higher throughput than the HSDPA. That is, the UMTS supports a higher rate. In addition, capacity-related attributes must be set on the GGSN. Run the following command to set the maximum rate to 256000 kbit/s.

SET QOS: MBRDNLK=256000, GBRDNLK=256000; (1) On the GGSN, run the commands LST QoS and SET QoS to check whether the uplink and downlink data rate reaches the required value. If not, modify the uplink and downlink data rate. (2) On the GGSN, run the LST APNQoS command to check whether the uplink data rate of a certain APN is set. If not, do not set or ignore the rate. If yes, check whether the rate reaches the required value. If not, set the rate value.

4.1.2 SGSN Configuration (Huawei)

The method of configuring the SGSN is similar to that configuring the GGSN. Set the Extended MBR to 250 (MBRDNLKEX 250 represents 256 Mbit/s).

SET 3GSM: PARATYPE=QOS, MBRUPLK=254, GBRUPLK=254, MBRDNLK=254, GBRDNLK=254, MBRDNLKEX=250, GBRDNLKEX=250, MBRUPLKEX=250, GBRUPLKEX=250;

SET PROCR: RNCQOSVERSION=R7, GGSNQOSVERSION=R7, SGSNQOSVERSION=R7; Set the RNC version to R7. Note that the following command corresponds to the index of the RNC actually used.

MOD RNC: IMS=YES, RNCVER=R7, R7QOS=YES; Set the QoS attribute of a certain GGSN to R7Qos.

MOD GGSNCHARACT: IPT=IPV4, QOSVER=R7Qos; On the SGSN, run the commands LST COMPATIBILITY and SET COMPATIBILITY to set RABQOS to YES.

SET COMPATIBILITY: RABQOS=YES;

4.1.3 Registration Rate Configuration

According to the rate requirement of the operator, set the downlink data rate. If the HSPA+ feature is supported, the rate is expanded to 21 Mbit/s (if the 64QAM is supported) or 28 Mbit/s (if the MIMO is supported).



4.2 Check on Transmission Configuration on Iub or Iu

Interface

4.2.1 Check on Transmission Configuration on Iub Interface

Add the types of paths that transmit the HSPA service on the RNC and NodeB sides. The HSPA+ improves the transmission requirement of the Iub interface. Therefore, it is recommended to adopt IP networking on the Iub interface. For the bandwidth configuration of the IP RAN, refer to the HSPA+ bandwidth configuration of the IP RAN deployment guide. You can check the bandwidth in the ATM network by using the following method:

ADD AAL2PATH: AAL2PATHT=HSPA;

On the RNC, run the DSP AAL2 PATH command to check the available bandwidth of the AAL2 path carrying the HSPA. If the HSPA+ is supported, set the bandwidth to the maximum value. On the Node B, the size of HSPA+ bandwidth depends on the Receive Cell Rate (RCR). Check the RCR of the AAL2 path. It is recommended that the RCR is set to a maximum of 20 Mbit/s to impose strict requirement on the HSPA+ bandwidth. However, for a single user, this rate cannot meet the peak value requirement (this cannot meet the peak rate requirement of a single UE).

4.2.2 Check on Bandwidth of Iu-PS Interface

(1) Run the LST IPOA command to check the traffic index of the user plane. (2) Run the LST TRAFFIC command to check the bandwidth corresponding to the traffic index. You also can obtain the supported rate, PCR peak cell rate (cells/s), and cell rate (cells/s) corresponding to the traffic index. If the supported rated is too low, you can modify it manually. 1000 bit/s is recommended.

4.2.3 Node B Configuration

The 64QAM-enabled or MIMO-enabled cell must be set up on the enhanced board. Otherwise, the HSPA+ feature is not supported. After the cell is set up, check whether the downlink resource group is established on the enhanced board, that is, run the DSP LOCELLRES command to check whether the downlink resource group established on the enhanced board or not. For the BTS3812E, the number of the slot that controls the downlink resource group is the number of that houses the EBBI, EULP, or EDLP. For the DBS3800, the number of the slot that controls the downlink resource group is the number of that houses the EBBC. For the DBS3900, the number of the slot that controls the downlink resource group is the number of that houses the WBBPb.

For the BTS3801C/3803C, it supports the HSPA+ with EBBM board added.

The configuration of a local 64QAM cell is the same as that of an HSDPA-enabled cell. For an MIMO-enabled cell, however, you must configure the NodeB and the cell must supports the



transmit diversity mode. In addition, the local cell can be configured in serial connection mode or parallel connection mode. The former is recommended. 4.2.3.1 Node B Configuration of MIMO-Enabled Cell in Parallel Connection Mode

4.2.3.2 Node B Configuration of MIMO-Enabled Cell in Serial Connection Mode The configuration of the RRU cell in serial connection mode is the same as that in parallel connection mode. The only difference is that only one RRUCHINA is required in serial connection mode.

1. Run the following command to add an RRUCHAIN:


2. Run the following command to add two RRUs on an identical RRUCHAIN:


(Position 0)

4.2.4 RNC Configuration

1. Hardware check: For the BSC6800, the RNC requires to use the FMRc board to support the HSPA+ feature; for the BSC6810 platform, there is no hardware limits.

2. Run the following command to enable the HSDPA feature to configure attributes of the 64QAM and the MIMO.

4.3 Service and Bearer Configuration

4.3.1 HSPA+ Configuration During Registration

All registration-related information is configured on the HLR. HSPA+-related parameters are described previously and determined by operators according to requirements.

4.3.2 Code Allocation of HSPA+-Enabled Cell

The code allocation is based on the cell. Fixed code allocation and RNC-based dynamic code allocation are configured on the RNC. Node B-based dynamic code allocation is configured on the Node B. The code allocation configured on the RNC and that on the Node B do not affect each. That is, you can enable the Node B-based dynamic code allocation when configuring the fixed code allocation on the RNC, or disable the Node B-based dynamic code allocation when configuring the dynamic code allocation on the RNC. It is recommended to enable the Node B-based dynamic code allocation. Thus RNC using fixed code allocation. Run the ADD CELLHSDPA command to configure code allocation in the RNC, for example, configure the static code allocation policy and allocate two HS-SCCH codes.

ADD CELLHSDPA: AllocCodeMode=Manual, HsPdschCodeNum=1, HsScchCodeNum=2, CodeAdjForHsdpaSwitch=ON;

If the Node B-based dynamic code allocation is closed. Run the following command to configure RNC-based dynamic code allocation policy, set the maximum number of HS-PDSCH codes to 15, the minimum number HS-PDSCH codes to 1, and the number of HS-SCCH codes to 2.

ADD CELLHSPA: CellId=1, AllocCodeMode=Automatic, HsPdschMaxCodeNum=15, HsPdschMinCodeNum=1, HsScchCodeNum=2;

To enable the Node B-based dynamic code allocation policy, run the SET MACHSPARA



command as follows: SET MACHSPARA: LOCELL=1, DYNCODESW=OPEN;

The dynamic code allocation policy adopted on the Node B is not detected on the LMT of the RNC. If idle codes (SF=16) are available, these codes are allocated to the HSPA.

4.3.3 Power Configuration of HSPA+-Enabled Cell

Run the ADD CELLHSDPA command to configure the power of the HSPA+-enabled cell in the RNC by using.

ADD CELLHSDPA: AllocCodeMode=Automatic, HspaPower=0;

The configured power is the power offset of the maximum transmit power of the HSPA+-enable cell.

4.3.4 HSPA+ Scheduling and Flow Control Configuration

The scheduling algorithm is configured on the Node B by using the SET MACHSPARA command, for example, you can run the following command to adopt the EPF scheduling algorithm on the Node B:

SET MACHSPARA: SM=EPF

It is recommended to adopt default settings of flow control parameters. For the flow control policy, DYNAMIC_BW_SHAPING or NO_BW_SHAPING can be selected automatically through the congestion check mechanism. You can also run the following command to configure the flow control policy:

SET HSDPAFLOWCTRLPARA: SWITCH=BW_SHAPING_ONOFF_TOGGLE;

4.3.5 HSPA+ Power Control Configuration

The power control of HS-DPCCHs is configured on the RNC by using the SET HSDPCCH command. It is recommended to adopt baseline parameters. The power control of HS-SCCHs is configured on the Node B by using the SET MACHSPARA command, for example, to adjust the HS-SCCH the power control based on the CQI, set the offset relative to the initial power of the PCPICH to 0dB, and set the frame error rate to 1%, run the following command:

SET MACHSPARA: SCCHPWRCM=CQI, SCCHFER=10;

To set the power margin of the cell to 5% of the baseline value, run the following command: SET MACHSPARA: PWRMGN=5;

4.3.6 QoS Guarantee Configuration of HSPA+

Run the SET USERPRIORITY command to map the ARP to the SPI. The following command set the UE level of each ARP priority.

SET USERPRIORITY: ARP1Priority=Gold, ARP2Priority=Gold, ARP3Priority=Gold, ARP4Priority=Gold, ARP5Priority=Gold, ARP6Priority=Silver, ARP7Priority=Silver,



ARP8Priority=Silver, ARP9Priority=Silver, ARP10Priority=Silver, ARP11Priority=Copper, ARP12Priority=Copper, ARP13Priority=Copper, ARP14Priority=Copper;

Run the SET SCHEDULEPRIOMAP command to map the UE service type and class to the SPI. SET SCHEDULEPRIOMAP: TrafficClass=INTERACTIVE, UserPriority=SILVER, THP=10, SPI=5;

Run the SET USERGBR command to configure the GBR for BE services. SET USERGBR: GoldUlGBR=D128, GoldDlGBR=D128, SilverUlGBR=D64, SilverDlGBR=D64, CopperUlGBR=D32, CopperDlGBR=D32;

In the preceding example, the GBR parameters use the baseline values. The values can be changed according to the operator requirements.

4.3.7 License Configuration for HSPA+

Apply for licenses of the RNC to support the traffic of 21 Mbit/s and 28 Mbit/s.

******************************************************************************* Note

You can query settings of the preceding parameters first. If these parameters are set to baseline values, the

modification is unnecessary.

*******************************************************************************Radio Resource Management Configuration

4.3.8 HSPA+ Measurement Control Configuration

Generally, the following parameters are set to baseline values; therefore, you do not need to modify parameter settings. Configuration related to HSPA+ measurement includes configuration of the measurement switch and measurement period. Run the MOD CELLALGOSWITCH command to configure the measurement switch. To measure the GBP and PBR, run the following command.

MOD CELLALGOSWITCH: CellId=1, NBMCacAlgoSwitch=HSPA_GBP_MEAS-1&HSPA_PBR_MEAS-1;

Run the SET LDM command to set the measurement period. To set the basic downlink measurement period to 200 ms, run the following command:

SET LDM: ChoiceRprtUnitForDlBasicMeas=TEN_MSEC, TenMsecForDlBasicMeas=20;

To set the HSPA GBP measurement period and HSPA PBR measurement period to 1 second, run the following command:

SET LDM: ChoiceRprtUnitForHSPAPwrMeas=TEN_MSEC, TenMsecForHSPAPwrMeas=100;

SET LDM: ChoiceRprtUnitForHSPARateMeas=TEN_MSEC, TenMsecForHSPAPrvidRateMeas=100;

4.3.9 HSPA+ Admission Control Configuration

During deployment, use the baseline values of the following parameters. You do not need to change the values of these parameters.



Similar to that of the HSDPA, run the following command to turn on the admission control switch of the HSPA+:

Run the following commands to turn on the CE resource admission control switch. SET CACALGOSWITCH: CacSwitch=NODEB_CREDIT_CAC_SWITCH-1;

ADD CELLALGOSWITCH: NBMCacAlgoSwitch=CRD_ADCTRL-1;

4.3.10 HSPA+ DRD Configuration

The DRD policy of the HSPA+ is the same as that of the HSDPA. The following parameters are set when the dual carrier is adopted during the deployment. To support the DRD of the HSPA+, turn on the HSPA DRD algorithm switch and the blink handover switch when the inter-frequency concentric neighboring cell is configured. To turn on the two switches, run the following commands:

SET CORRMALGOSWITCH:DrSwitch=DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH-1;;

ADD INTERFREQNCELL:BlindHoFlag=TRUE, BlindHOPrio=0;

4.3.11 HSPA+ Load Control Configuration

During deployment, use the baseline values of the following parameters. You do not need to change the values of these parameters. When congestion occurs to a cell, the system can take multiple measures to relieve the congestion of the cell. However, few actions are related to the HSPA service. The following commands are related to the HSPA service. Run the SET CORRMALGOSWITCH command to turn on the HSPA state transition switch, intra-frequency D2H algorithm switch, and inter-frequency D2H algorithm switch.

SET CORRMALGOSWITCH: DraSwitch=DRA_HSDPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH-1&DRA_HSUPA_STATE_TRANS_SWITCH-1, DrSwitch=DR_RRC_DRD_SWITCH-1;

Run the ADD CELLALGOSWITCH command to turn on the load reshuffling algorithm switch, code resource reshuffling algorithm switch, and CE resource reshuffling algorithm switch.

Chapter 5 Networking Policy

5.1 Overview

With the rapid development of the HSPA+, it is an inevitable trend to introduce the HSPA+ to

commercial networks. The MIMO requires the STTD to set to ON. Therefore, the performance of

certain HSDPA terminals of R5 and R6 deteriorates due to the rollback of the receiver type.

Generally, it is recommended that a MIMO cell shares carriers with an R99 cell instead of an

HSDPA cell. The network policies of the 64QAM are the same as those of the HSDPA. A

64QAM-enabled cell can share the second carrier with an HSDPA-enabled cell. The networkings

of the 64QAM and MIMO are configured separately.

Considering actual operation scenarios and industry policies, the prerequisite to introduce the

HSPA+ is that the existing HSDPA or R99 services are not affected. That is, compared with the

HSDPA and HSPA+ services, the R99 service

1. The R99, HSDPA, and HSPA+ services can share power resources dynamically. However,

the R99 service is always preferred.

2. The R99, HSDPA, and HSPA+ services can share code resources dynamically. However,

the R99 service is always preferred.

3. The R99, HSDPA, and HSPA+ services fully share transmission resources. However, the

R99 service is always preferred.

To guarantee the smooth operation of the HSPA+ service, Configure a GBR for the HSPA+

service to ensure the minimum power, code, and transmission resources obtained by the service.

For the HSPA+-enabled dual-carrier service, the research focuses on how to allocate code, power,

and transmission resources to the HSPA+ and R99 service to achieve the maximum resource usage

in addition to the original features of the R99 service.



5.2 HSPA+ 64QAM Dual-Carrier Service Allocation Policy

5.2.1 HSPA+ 64QAM Networking Mode I

The first carrier supports the R99 and HSPA services (including the HSDPA service and

HSPA+64QAM service) and implements continuous coverage. The second carrier supports the

HSDPA service and HSPA+ 64QAM service. The following figure shows the networking.

Figure 12 Dual-carrier networking I

The networking advantage is that either the networking policy or the configuration is simple, and

the uniform management is implemented in the network. One clear disadvantage is that the HSPA

fails to achieve load balancing. The R99 service can preempt either code or power resources of the

HSDPA service. Therefore, it is difficult to guarantee smooth operation of the HSDPA and HSPA+

64QAM services and trigger the load balancing between the two carriers. In addition, the load

balancing of the HSPA service brings fluctuations and the ping-pong effect.

5.2.2 HSPA+ 64QAM Networking Mode II

The first TRX implements continuous coverage and the second TRX covers hot spot areas. Both

the two TRXs support the R99 and HSPA+ 64 QAM.

Figure 13 Dual-carrier networking II

Networking mode II greatly differs from networking mode I in camping policies, mobility

management, and load control.

The advantage of networking mode II is to guarantee smooth operation of the R99 and HSPA+

64QAM services and ensure load balancing of the HSDPA service. The disadvantage is that the

networking is complex and involves multiple policies and configurations.

5.2.3 Comparison of Two HSPA+ 64QAM Networking Modes

Table 6 shows advantages and disadvantages of the two networking modes.

Table 7 Comparison of two networking modes

Scenario Name Advantage Disadvantage

Dual carrier scenario I: Both

two carriers provide continuous

coverage of the HSPA service.

1. The two carriers implement continuous

coverage of the HSPA service.

2. Both R99 and HSPA users can make calls in this

cell, and the access delay is low. 3. R99 users

implement load sharing in hot spot areas. Therefore,

cells served by the two carriers achieve

load balancing. 4. HSPA users implement load

balancing through random camping

policies.

1. The network is expensive to construct. 2. HSPA users do not

achieve load balancing. 3. HSPA resources are configured preferentially for each TRX. Therefore,

it is hard to ensure the smooth operation of the

HSPA service.



Dual carrier scenario II: HSPA

cells are not covered

continuously (recommended).

1. The R99 service is covered

continuously by a single TRX. Users can obtain good

experience. 2. HSPA-enabled

UEs initiate PS calls in the cell covered

by frequency 2. Experience of HSPA

users is greatly improved because

there are fewer R99 users in the cell.

1. If the HSPA-enabled UE enters from the area

covered by the single TRX to that covered by double TRXs, the UE is

handed over to the intra-frequency R99 cell and cannot be handed

over to the inter-frequency HSPA

cell. Therefore, the HSPA coverage cannot

be implemented. 2. When initiating a call, the HSPA-enabled UE is

handed over to an inter-frequency cell

through the DRD. This can affect the access

delay of the UE.

To guarantee smooth operation of the HSPA service, commercial networks of Huawei adopt

networking mode II. Networking mode I involves simple policies, configuration, and algorithms

and is similar to common dual carrier networking.

5.3 Introduction to MIMO Networking Policy

If a MIMO-enabled cell shares one carrier with a common R5 or R6 cell, the type of the HSDPA

receiver rolls back and performance of HSDPA UEs deteriorates. Therefore, the MIMO

networking must be separate from the HSDPA networking. The general principle is as follows:

Maximize the MIMO capacity grain and balance powers of the two transmit channels.

Avoid performance loss of R5 HSPA UEs.

There are three MIMO networking modes.

5.3.1 MIMO Networking Mode I

The MIMO technology is deployed on a single frequency, which poses little impact on existing

networks. However, another frequency is required. Currently, most networks adopt dual carrier

networking, that is, at least operators provide three 3G frequencies.



Figure 14 MIMO networking mode I

Advantage

The MIMO technology is deployed separately from existing networks. This imposes minimum impacts on existing networks and does not affect the coverage, capacity, or KPIs.

Disadvantage

The MIMO technology requires to be deployed on an independent frequency and has extra requirements on frequency resources. In the early application period, the penetration ratio of MIMO-enabled UEs is low, and network resource usage is not high.

5.3.2 MIMO Networking Mode II

If frequency resources are limited, the MIMO deployment can be bound to the R99 service. This

avoids performance loss of old R5 HSPA UEs. The networking is as follows:

Figure 15 MIMO networking mode II

Advantage

Separate MIMO carrier from HSPA carriers. This avoids performance loss of original R5 HSPA UEs in the diversity cell. The MIMO service and R99 service are bound to an identical carrier to reduce the number of required frequencies. During the early period of the MIMO application, high-end users are fewer. Therefore, binding the



MIMO and R99 services to an identical carrier improves user experience and increases network resource usage.

Disadvantage

Binding the MIMO and R99 services to an identical carrier increases the average downlink load of frequency F1 and affects KPIs of the R99 cell because the HSPA service consumes larger downlink power. In this case, you can control uplink load to relieve these impacts.

5.3.3 MIMO Networking Mode III

If the operator increases the second TRX to deploy the HSPA+ during the Tx only networking, it is recommended to deploy the MIMO on a single TRX. This imposes little impact on the existing

network. The networking is as follows:

Figure 16 MIMO networking mode III

Advantage

The MIMO technology is deployed separately from existing networks. This imposes minimum impacts on existing networks and does not affect the coverage, capacity, or KPIs.

Disadvantage

The MIMO technology requires to be deployed on an independent frequency and has extra requirements on frequency resources. In the early period, the penetration ratio of MIMO-enabled UEs is low, and network resource usage is not high. If the HSPA performance loss is acceptable, you can enable the LDR switch to increase resource usage.

For the MIMO, networking mode II is recommended, that is, the R99 service shares one carrier with the MIMO service. If the frequency resource usage reaches the maximum value, the impacts on R5 HSDPA UE is minimized.



Chapter 6 FAQs

6.1 Services Failing to Access HSPA Channels

1. Check whether the UE supports the service. 2. Check whether the registered rate of the SIM card is correct. 3. Check whether the initial rate reaches the rate threshold of HSPA channels. 4. Run the DSP CELL command on the RNC to check whether the HSPA service of related cells is available.

6.2 Low Download Rate of HSPA Service

1. Check whether the UE supports high-rate download. 2. Check whether transmission bandwidth is limited. 3. Check whether the index of the traffic transmitted on paths of the RNC and Node B is correct. 4. Check whether the path configuration on the RNC is consistent with that on the Node B. If the RCR of the Node B is greater than the transmission bandwidth of the RNC, the transmission rate is lowered due to packet loss. Recommended relation is: Node B’s RCR=RNC’ s SCR, RNC’ s SCR=PCR-1 5. For the HSPA+ service, it is recommended to adopt IP networking and configure sufficient bandwidth to meet high rate requirement of the HSPA+ service.

6.3 Rate of High-rate HSPA+ Service (21 Mbit/s) Being Low

Tests on a site show that the rate of the high-rate HSPA+ download service (21 Mbit/s) is in low. Make clear that the download service is a single thread or multithread service. Factors that affect the single thread service are as follows:

Registered rate

Size of the TCP receiving window on the PC (the size can be modified by using the DRTCP tool)

Rate limit of the server

Packet loss on the TCP layer

Packet delivery in sequence or randomly (It is recommended that packets are delivered in sequence on the uplink)

Rate limit on the Iu interface (check whether the bandwidth of the Iu interface on the user plane is sufficient)

Iub flow control (it is recommended to maintain the flow control)

Bandwidth limit on the Iub interface (Check whether the bandwidth is sufficient)



BLER of the Uu interface (Check the quality of the tested radio environment. The peak rate of the HSPA+ service imposes high requirements on the quality of the Uu interface. Therefore, the radio environment of the Uu interface must be high-quality.)

Great impact imposed by the CQI on the single thread service (check the quality of the tested radio environment)

Problems occurred in the multithread service are different from those in the single thread service. The cause may be one of the followings:

Problems occurred on the Iub interface (see the preceding configuration specifications)

******************************************************************************* Note: For the IP networking environment, check settings of all ports to ensure that the CN and switch work in

forcible full duplex mode.

*******************************************************************************

Rate limit on the Iu interface

Poor-quality radio environment (Observing Ec/N0 on the LMT or by using other tools)

Packet loss on data sources of the CN causing insufficient data sources

The most possible cause is that the configuration of the portable computer and the driver of the UE cause low rate in the application layer. The recommended configuration of portable computers is as follows:

1GB memory

high-performance CPU

UE E270+ (driver of the latest version)

No packet loss in the CN

High rate

High performance in the application layer on the receiving side

In conclusion, the HSPA+ imposes high requirements on each NE, portable computers, and FTP server. Guarantee performance of the portable computers and the FTP server in actual tests. Otherwise, performance of the HSPA+ service may be affected.
