Motivation for HSDPA

▪ In developed markets daily usage of data services has already overtaken


equivalent voice services
▪ This trend is set to increase as more people become “connected”
▪ Fixed line is getting faster (xDSL > 1GBps)
▪ Mobile must also keep up!

HSDPA – benefits
Benefits towards Customers Benefits towards Operator
 pushes existing services due to  increased customer satisfaction
improved user perception  increased total NW throughput
 increased peak & average data rate  reduced cost per bit
 reduced round trip delay

AIRCOM International 2006


HSDPA – benefits
Some key figures
▪ Increase of maximum user bit rate by factor 10 => 3-4 Mbit/s compared to
384kBit/s
▪ Reduction of Round Trip Time (latency) by factor 2-3 => from 250ms to
100ms (GPRS: 500ms)
Resulting gains
▪ Large scale capacity extension with HSDPA less expensive than 2nd carrier
▪ Less blocking, increased throughput, reduced delay

▪ HSDPA will improve the user experience as well as the network


efficiency

2. HSDPA Technical Overview

AIRCOM International 2006


HSDPA - Main Features
▪ A new common High Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-
DSCH) which can be simultaneously shared by multiple users
▪ Shorter Transmission Time Interval (TTI) of 2ms, which
enables higher speed transmission in the physical layer
▪ Fast scheduling
▪ Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC)
▪ Fast retransmission based on fast Hybrid Automatic
Response reQuest (HARQ) techniques.

Spreading Codes
▪ W-CDMA transmits in a cell over a frequency of 5 MHz

▪ All users share the same frequency


▫ Think of it like a United Nations Dinner Party
▫ In W-CDMA different users are separated by allocating them
different codes

▪ There is a limit to the number of codes a single 5MHz


carrier can support

etc down to SF 512

AIRCOM International 2006


The Code Tree without HSDPA
▪ For all existing channels (R99 channels) users are allocated to a
dedicated code which they use on their own until they have finished
sending their data
▪ The capacity of the code to carry data depends on its Spreading
Factor i.e. how far down the tree it is
▫ a SF8 code supports 1 x 384 Radio Bearer (RB), so max 7 per 5 MHz
sector
▫ a SF16 code supports 1 x 128 RB, so max 15 per 5 MHz sector
▫ a SF128 code supports one voice call, so max >100 per 5 MHz sector

bearers

AIRCOM International 2006


The Code Tree with HSDPA
▪ The number of codes used for HSDPA determines 3 things:
▫ The maximum possible rate a single user can get
▫ The maximum achievable rate at the cell edge
▫ The total capacity of the carrier

AIRCOM International 2006


The Code Tree with HSDPA
▪ If R99 channels have dedicated codes allocated to them until they
finish sending their data, what’s the difference with HSDPA?
▫ Codes are not dedicated to a single user but rather are shared between
all HSDPA users on that carrier

▪ So how is the HSDPA code resource shared between users?


▪ There are 2 ways:
1. The HSDPA air interface transmission is split into very small time chunks
(2ms slots) then users are time multiplexed onto these slots in turn
2. The codes can be shared between multiple users in each slot

AIRCOM International 2006


Adaptive Modulation & Coding (AMC)
▪ 16 QAM allows twice the data rate to a user compared to QPSK

▪ Currently all R99 channels use QPSK

▪ 16 QAM will only be possible for users within a limited radius of the
NodeB (<20 % of the cell area ?)

▪ The Adaptive Modulation Coding scheme :


▫ can be controlled (changed) every 2 ms TTI to account for changing
radio conditions
▫ can be different for different users in different radio conditions

Adaptive Modulation & Coding (AMC)
▪ Coding is used to protect the user data bits from errors
▪ HSDPA has a very flexible coding scheme which can vary every
2ms and between each user
▪ This allows a much more varied distribution of data rates within a
cell
▫ Higher rates in very good radio conditions near the NodeB
▫ Higher rates compared to R99 on cell edge

▪ If transmission fails: request for repetition (MAC-hs)
▪ Receiver combines all transmission attempts
▪ Minimisation of redundancy

▪ Chase Combining:
▫ each re-transmission is an identical copy of the first transmission;
▫ maximum-ratio-combining done at the UE

▪ Incremental redundancy:
▫ each re-transmission contains additional redundancy that has not
been sent before
▫ code-combining done at the UE

3. Strategic Planning For HSDPA

AIRCOM International 2006


Strategic Planning For HSDPA
▪ As shown HSDPA significantly increases data rates for WCDMA
▪ However we can not just turn HSDPA on overnight
▪ Many other issues need to be addressed
▫ Where?
▫ When?
▫ Same carrier or separate carrier?
▫ Vendor Roadmaps/Vendor Interaction
▫ UE availability
▫ Typical Throughput/Capacity
▫ Transmission Dimensioning
▫ Radio Planning
▫ Optimisation

AIRCOM International 2006


HSDPA Where and When?
▪ Where will high speed data rate users be?
▫ Office …. (Fixed LAN)
▫ Public areas ….Coffee shop
▫ Home … alternative to fixed line … cannibalisation of own market
▫ Trains/Buses … HSDPA isn’t 100% mobile ready
▫ Data card or UE?

▪ When will the users want to use high speed data?


▫ Commuting time?
▫ Coffee breaks?
▫ Sporting events?
▫ Working hours?
▫ Do voice and data busy hours coincide?
▫ This will affect HSDPA carrier deployment strategy.

AIRCOM International 2006


Same or Separate Carrier
▪ HSDPA can theoretically be placed on the same carrier as
existing R99 traffic or on a separate carrier dedicated for HSDPA
▪ Both have their advantages and disadvantages

R99
HSDPA

AIRCOM International 2006


Same Carrier
▪ Advantages ▪ Disadvantages
▫ Wait and see approach ▫ Possible effect on R99 services
▫ Maximises usage of first carrier ▫ Dependent on vendor
implementation and algorithms
▫ Simple HW/SW upgrade

HSDPA & R99

AIRCOM International 2006


Separate Carrier
▪ Advantages ▪ Disadvantages
▫ All codes/power resources ▫ NodeB HW & SW Upgrade
available for HSDPA traffic ▫ Cost
▫ No impact on R99 services
▫ Parameter tuning can be done
separate to R99 carrier

R99
HSDPA

AIRCOM International 2006


Vendor Roadmaps
▪ Not all equipment vendors progress at the same rate
▪ Example NEC & Fujitsu had WCDMA BTS and UE making calls
across the air in 1999
▪ Nokia didn’t manage this until 2001 but had caught up by 2004
and overtaken Fujitsu/Alcatel by 2005

▪ HSDPA is similar
▫ Number of codes supported
▪ Nokia 5
▪ Huawei 15
▪ Alcatel 15
▫ Same carrier supported
▪ Nokia Now
▪ Huawei Now
▪ Alcatel Q4 2007

AIRCOM International 2006


HSDPA UE Availability
▪ As shown earlier class 6 & 12 data cards are now available
▪ These data cards cater mainly for the business market

▪ However UEs and PDAs with HSDPA functionality are now


appearing

▪ The consumer devices should help drive “consumer” high bit rate
services such as
▫ MP3 download
▫ Movie clip DL
▫ Audio streaming
▫ Video streaming

▪ Samsung SGH-ZX20

AIRCOM International 2006


Typical Throughput/Capacity
▪ Although peak rates of 1.8, 3.6 and 14.4Mbps are often quoted in
reality users will seldom see data rates close to these
“theoretical” maximums and these rates will be shared by all HS
users within the cell
▪ Throughput will also be dependent on the users radio conditions
▫ Far from cell
▫ Mobility
▫ Own/Other cell interference ratio
▪ Therefore user bit rates are more likely to be in the 1 – 5 Mbps
range (estimated from simulation)
▪ Also the need for such throughput will depend on the application
▪ For example web browsing at 1Mbps or 5Mbps will be almost
identical with most of the delay coming from core IP network

AIRCOM International 2006


Transmission Dimensioning

Iub

▪ If high speed services are to be offered on the Uu … the Iub must


be dimensioned accordingly
▪ Transmission upgrades can take a long time therefore it is
essential an transmission upgrade is formulated as soon as
practically possible
▪ However data traffic will suffer “soft blocking” therefore users will
only suffer lower throughput and not loss of service on high
capacity sites

▪ Detailed Planning will be done using Asset 3G planning tool and


appropriate inputs such as a locally tuned propagation model
▪ The “Planning Guidelines” document should be updated based on best
practices for HSDPA planning
▪ Candidate HSDPA sites should be evaluated for coverage purposes
using the target RSCP and Ec/Io levels derived using the link budget
▪ Once the majority of sites in an area have been selected detailed Ec/Io
optimisation (tilts, azimuths etc.) should be performed using Asset
(Manual) and/or ADVANTAGE (Automatic)
▪ The recommended site configurations should then be passed to the
build teams.

- Use of RanOpt Guidelines
(Coverage, Neighbours
etc.)

▪ Detailed Optimisation can be done using appropriate DT tool and


Aircom’s RANOPT 3G optimisation tool
▪ At this stage the real coverage should be verified for both RSCP (level)
and Ec/Io (quality) and adjustment to sites performed as necessary
(tilts, azimuths etc.)
▪ Also functionality tests should also be performed to verify individual
site performance and overall network performance (HSDPA enabled on
site, throughput of site etc.)
▪ Performance should be assessed against HSDPA performance KPI
targets as agreed with rest of the business
▪ HSDPA Optimisation Guidelines would be derived based on industry
best practice

AIRCOM International 2006


Commercial Launch & Launch Critical HSDPA KPIs

Commercial Launch

▪ Commercial launch can only happen once all or at least a


critical subset of the HSDPA KPIs have been achieved
▪ Therefore in the final weeks before launch it is essential that the
optimisation effort focuses on these critical launch KPIs
