HSDPA and HSUPA Upgrades in UMTS: Enhancing Data Rates and Efficiency, Study notes of Wireless Networking

An overview of hsdpa and hsupa upgrades in umts (universal mobile telecommunications system). Hsdpa (high-speed downlink packet access) and hsupa (high-speed uplink packet access) are enhancements to umts that improve data rates and efficiency. The architecture, physical layer processing, and key features of hsdpa and hsupa. It also discusses the infrastructure upgrades required for these technologies and their benefits.

HIGH SPEED DOWLINK PACKET ACCESS (HSDPA)

  • HSDPA ≈ 3.5G system upgrade of UMTS
  • Standardised in 3GPP Release 5
  • Objective is to support delay-tolerant services in low

mobility scenarios with with enhanced resource

efficiency and service quality

Telcom 2720 4

efficiency and service quality

  • support for background, interactive and (to some extent) streaming services
  • low mobility
  • enable downlink peak rates of 8-10 Mbits/s >> 3G requirements
  • lower resource consumption per transferred delay-tolerant bit

HIGH SPEED DOWLINK PACKET ACCESS

  • HSDPA upgrade of UMTS similar to EDGE

upgrade of GPRS

  • completely backwards compatible
  • no new spectrum needed
  • reuse existing infrastructure and 5MHz channels
    • primarily software and minor hardware upgrades
  • coexistence of HSDPA- and non-HSDPA-enabled

Telcom 2720^5

coexistence of HSDPA and non HSDPA enabled terminals

  • coexistence of HSDPA- and non-HSDPA-enabled NODE-Bs - data flows on HS-DSCH moving from non-HSDPA-cell to HSDPA-cell are automatically switched to a supported transport channel, e.g. DCH - gradual hot-spot-based network upgrades possible
  • cost-effective

channel quality RNC indicator

shared channel

  • Upgrade UMTS downlink channels to a HS version :
    • higher-order modulation: QPSK and 16- QAM
    • fast link adaptation: adaptive modulation and coding
    • fast channel-aware scheduling: centered at the N ode B
    • fast hybrid ARQ on downlink: combines FEC and selective ARQ
    • reduced TTI of 2 ms: to facilitate better tracking of channel variations
    • HS channels typically transmits at relatively fixed power

HSDPA Upgrades

  • Infrastructure
    • NODE-B
      • a new MAC sublayer (MAC-hs) is standardised and needs to be implemented in the NODE-B
      • depending on the legacy NODE-B capabilities, this update may be done via remote software downloads or may possibly require hardware upgrades as well

Telcom 2720 12

  • RNC is largely maintains the UMTS Release ’99 functionality
    • a software-only upgrade is required, e.g. to enable assignment of data flows to the HS-DSCH (~ channel switching)
  • no substantial impact on the CORE network is expected
  • New Mobile Terminals
    • Support physical interface, higher data rates and H-ARQ
  • HSDPA deployments began 2006 in Europe,

Canada, etc. Over 100 deployments

HSUPA

  • High Speed Uplink Packet Access
  • Similar to HSDPA – advanced coding and

modulation techniques with hybrid ARQ to improve

data rate on uplink channel in UMTS

  • Now called Enhanced Uplink (EUL) (3GPP)

D t t f 73Mb 5 76Mb 11 5Mb

Telcom 2720^13

  • Data rates from .73Mbps – 5.76Mbps, 11.5Mbps

being tested

  • Uses new Enhanced versions of Signaling and

physical channels

  • Focus of UMTS now on IP in the backhaul

UMTS

• UMTS is most popular 3G technology

  • Upgrade path from GPRS/EDGE – primarily in

air interface to WCDMA standard

  • Now called 3GSM
  • WCDMA – variable power/spreading cdma

Telcom 2720 15

  • Provides standard benefits of cdma technology

(frequency reuse factor 1, soft handoff, etc.)

  • Deployed throughout the world
  • Upgrade path to HSPDA and HSUPA and all IP

in the core defined - over 62.5 million HSPA

users

cdma

  • cdma
    • Goal: provide 2.5G and 3G services over TIA/EIA-

systems which include IS-95a, b, cdmaone systems

  • Evolutionary path
    • cdma2000-1xRTT uses multiple codes on same 1.25 MHz carrier of IS-95 and slight change to the modulation to provide packet data – up to 78 Kbps (basically 2.5G standard)
    • cdma2000 1x EVDO a 1 25 MHz radio carrier is dedicated to

Telcom 2720^16

  • cdma2000-1x-EVDO – a 1.25 MHz radio carrier is dedicated to data only (DO) more Walsh codes per carrier (256) – high data rates – 646 kbps
  • Cdma 2000 1x-EV-DV – carriers supports both data and packetized voice voice, all IP backhaul network
  • CDMA 2000 3x RTT called multi-carrier mode CDMA
  • Extension of IS-95 – uses multiple x 1.25Mhz IS-95 channels
  • On hold until market demands it.
  • IS-41 or GSM MAP signalling in core
