Feature 1 UL IC
Background and Benefits
WCDMA is a self-interference system whose capacity is restricted by mutual interference
between users. Particularly, high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) services cause large
interference to other users.
By canceling the UL interference caused by high-speed services, interference cancellation (IC)
increases the number of users that can be accessed to cells, improves the system capacity
and average throughput, and provides customers with higher rate service experience.
Value and Advantages
Obviously raising the UL capacity of the UMTS, optimizing the edge coverage, and improving
the cell throughput and user signal quality
Consuming no extra CE resources
Enabling the IC gain to be shared by all users in cells
Implementing IC of the HSUPA services with the transmission time interval (TTI) being 2 ms
and those with the TTI being 10 ms at the same time
Sharing IC results between the boards with the IC capability
Enabling the boards without IC capability to benefit from IC results

Technical Principles
Real-time Antenna and Time-Delay Antenna
Feature 1 UL IC
Real-time Antenna Time-Delay Antenna
Measures the UL load of a cell before IC Measures the UL load of a cell after IC
Real-time antenna data (for cells): means the
cell baseband data received by the UL
processing module of the NodeB after being
processed by the RF module.
Regenerated data (for IC users): means the
user baseband data rebuilt on the basis of the
original information about some E-DPDCHs
obtained from real-time antenna data and the
features of radio channels
Time-delay antenna data (data after IC, for
cells) = real-time antenna data (for cells) -
regenerated data of all IC users

Technical Principles
The NodeB demodulates the uplink E-DPDCH data of HSUPA services, performs IC based onthe demodulated data and the originally received baseband data, and then re-demodulates the
baseband data after IC.
One demodulation/data regeneration: After receiving real-time antenna (including the data of all
users), the NodeB demodulates the data of different users, and then modulates the data of
these users to obtain the modulated data of each user, that is, regenerates the user data.
IC: The regenerated data is sent to the IC module to cancel the interference signals on specific
channels.
User demodulation: The data after IC processing is demodulated again to obtain the data of
each user.

Implementation of the NodeB
Hardware Configuration BTS3812E/BTS3812AE: Configure the EULPd board.
DBS3800: Configure the EBBCd board.
BTS3900 series: Configure the WBBPd board.
UE: category 1 to 7
License
A cell-oriented license is configured independently on the NodeB side.
Implementation Limitations
Whether the NodeB enables the IC algorithm depends on the board capabilities of a cell
and the IC license. No algorithm control switch is available.
In cells with the IC license enabled, IC can be implemented for only the most suitable
users, instead of all HSUPA users, to make full use of IC resources due to the basebandprocessing resource limitations of the product.

Implementation of the RNC
The RNC determines whether to enable the IC algorithm depending on whether the NodeBreports the time-delay antenna load. No algorithm switch is available.
The RNC does not add the measurement control of time-delay antennas.
For cells with the IC algorithm enabled, the RNC performs access control and preliminary
congestion control based on the load of time-delay antennas.
For cells with the IC algorithm enabled, the RNC still performs overload congestion control
based on the load of real-time antennas.
Impacts on RAN NEs
NodeB: As a technology at the physical layer, IC is implemented in boards of the NodeB.
RNC: The RNC obtains the UL load after IC from the time-delay antennas of the NodeB for
more accurate access control and load control.
UE: IC can be implemented for UEs of categories 1 to 7.

Feature 2 UL 16QAM
Background and Benefits
3GPP introduces HSUPA UE category 7 in R7 to support the 16QAM modulation and reach a
UL peak rate of 11.5 Mbit/s theoretically.
The UL system capacity of the HSUPA network is increased.
A higher peak rate can be reached for HSUPA users (UE category 7).
Technical Characteristics
In the case of 16QAM, a gain is achieved only when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is high.
Therefore, a good channel environment is required, for example, a cell with good indoor
coverage or micro coverage.
In comparison with QPSK, a gain is achieved only when 16QAM is used after the UL rate
reaches 4 Mbit/s. Therefore, the UL 16QAM is configured only after the maximum business
rate (MBR) exceeds 4 Mbit/s.
A higher gain can be achieved when UL 16QAM is used with other technologies such as FDE. The condition for selecting 16QAM is: the amount of data to be sent at the TTI is large enough,
and the signal quality in the location of the UE is good enough, so that the transmit power of
the UE is enough for 16QAM.

Feature 2 UL 16QAM
Hardware Configuration
DBS3800: Configure the EBBCd.
BTS3812E/AE: Configure the EULPd.
When the EBBI (or EDLP) and EULPd are configured, UL 16QAM is supported.
When the HBBI (or HDLP) and EULPd are configured, UL 16QAM is not supported.
BTS3900: Configure the WBBPd1 or WBBPd2.
RF Requirements
The RRU3804, WRFU, multi-mode RRU, and multi-mode RFU support UL 16QAM. The 20W RRU can support UL 16QAM, but the performance is decreased.
License Control
A cell-oriented license is independently configured on the NodeB.
The 16QAM license must be sold together with the FDE license. Users can buy the FDE
license only, but they must buy the FDE license if they buy the UL 16QAM license.
Configuration Activation NodeB side: Run MOD LOCELL to enable local cells to support 16QAM. Run LST LOCELL
to view the 16QAM capabilities of cells.

Feature 3 UL L2 Enhancement
Background and Benefits
In implementation of RAN11.0 and earlier versions, a UL RLC works only in fixed PDU mode,
that is, the PDU size is fixed. Fixed-size PDUs cannot support high-speed services effectively.
When the window size is fixed, small PDUs cannot support high-speed services. Large PDUs
can support high-speed services, but the power on the cell edge may be restricted. In addition,
fixed-size PDUs may introduce some extra headers and fill bits, which affects the transmission
efficiency. For example, when a UE moves from the cell center to the cell edge, the transmit
power of the UE is restricted when it reaches a certain distance. In this case, the throughput
drops rapidly, and data transmission may be easily interrupted.
3GPP introduces uplink L2 enhancement in R8. The UL RLC (in UM or AM mode) can support
flexible PDUs and fixed PDUs. When working in flexible PDU mode, the RLC can receive
PDUs with different sizes flexibly to reduce the uplink PDU size, and improve the throughput
under the restricted uplink transmit power.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential Page 16
Technical Principles
After the flexible PDU size is introduced at the RLC layer, the RLC on the RNC side can
process RLC PDUs with flexible sizes. For data PDUs, the RLC regroups the PDUs into SDUs
and delivers them in the uplink. For control PDUs, the processing mode is similar to that of
data PDUs except that the PDU size is fixed. For the RLC on the SRB side, the flexible PDU
size is temporarily unavailable, but the RLC can be carried over UL L2.
The MAC-i/is entity is used at MAC layer. The key difference between MAC-i/is and MAC-e/es
is that MAC-i/is supports data segmentation at MAC layer, and can select proper PDU sizes
according to the air interface quality to improve the transmission efficiency.
RAN NE Dependency
NodeB: Only the R12 supports this feature. Baseband boards except H-series boards support
this feature.
UE: UEs of R8 and later versions can support this feature.
License: The NodeB performs cell-oriented license control.

Feature 4 DL 64QAM+MIMO
Background and Benefits
The MIMO and 64QAM features are introduced by 3GPP in R7. These two features can be
used respectively. Restricted by the capabilities of UEs, however, a single user cannot be
configured with 64QAM and MIMO at the same time.
Compared with the traditional HSPA+ technology, 64QAM+MIMO brings the following gains:
For an MIMO-enabled network, the average throughput gain should be limited when
64QAM and MIMO are jointly applied in macro cell scenarios because there are few
areas with a high SNR required by 64QAM modulation. The gain is higher in micro cell
scenarios. For a 64QAM-enabled network, a certain gain is achieved when 64QAM and MIMO are
jointly applied in both macro and micro cells because the gain mainly comes from the
application of MIMO.
When the HS-DSCH expansion capability level specified in R8 is 19 or 20, MIMO and 64QAM
can be configured at the same time, and the DL peak rate reaches 42 Mbit/s.
In R8, 64QAM+MIMO can achieve a higher throughput and better QoS, greatly improving user
experience. In particular, the rate of VIP users with better channels is greatly improved. For
telecom operators who want to apply the MIMO technology to networks, it is worthwhile to
increase the peak rate of VIP users from 28 Mbit/s to 42 Mbit/s with less costs.

HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. HUAWEI Confidential Page 20
Technical Principles
The 64QAM+MIMO technology means that a UE working in MIMO mode can use 64QAM to
transmit single/double currents when channels are in good conditions. In this case, the peak
rate doubles that achieved by 64QAM, that is, 2 x 21 Mbit/s = 42 Mbit/s.
Technical Constraints
DL 64QAM+MIMO can be implemented on the basis of DL L2 enhancement.
Cells need to support the 64QAM, MIMO, and MIMO+64QAM functions.
HS-SCCH type 3 is used for MIMO+64QAM, whereas HS-SCCH type 2 is used for HS-SCCH
Less Operation. Therefore, MIMO+64QAM cannot be used with HS-SCCH Less Operation.

Feature 5 DC-HSDPA
Background and Benefits
Due to the rapid development of data services and driven by the competition with LTE, the UMTS needs to
improve the spectrum resource utilization continuously to improve the DL air interface capabilities andenrich the service experience of users. The new DC-HSDPA technology introduced in R8 aims to improve
the user throughput through larger spectrum bandwidth.
Dual-cell HSDPA (DC-HSDPA) enables users to receive the HSDPA data sent from two inter-frequency DL
cells under the same coverage at the same time. The network side can dynamically select between two
carriers for HSDPA transmission.
Compared with the traditional HSPA technology, DC-HSDPA brings the following gains:
Improving the peak throughput of users. When the DC-HSDPA and 64QAM features are used together,
the peak throughput can reach 42 Mbit/s, helping telecom operators surpass other mobile operators or
even fixed-network operators.
Obtaining a system capacity gain of 20% which decreases with the increasing users. Better equalizing
the inter-TRX load in the same sector. Compared with SC-HSDPA, DC-HSDPA features frequency-
selective scheduling and dynamic multi-carrier gain equalization, thus increasing the system capacity.
The gain is more obvious particularly when the load on the two carriers is unequal.
Greatly reducing the burst service and HTTP service delay. As the user peak rate is increased, the
HTTP service response delay can be greatly reduced, and user service experience can be improved.
Improving the user experience of cell edge users and enhancing the DL coverage.
Fully utilizing spectrum resources of telecom operators to improve the capacity and achieve a good
backward compatibility with original UEs.

Feature 5 DC-HSDPA
Comparison between DC-HSDPA and MIMO
If the network load is high but frequencies are unavailable, MIMO is used. If a telecom operator
has two frequencies or more and needs to win over other operators, DC-HSDPA can be used.
Feature Advantage Disadvantage
DC-HSDPA DC-HSDPA has lower requirements on signalquality, and can greatly increase the
throughput of cell edge users and improve
the DL coverage. The gain of cell edge users
is greater than the gain of cell center users.
The system capacity gain is smaller than thatof MIMO. In addition, the system capacity gain
decreases along with the growth of user
number.
MIMO The system capacity gain is higher than that
of DC-HSDPA.
MIMO has a high requirement on signal quality,
and does not increase the rate of cell edgeusers obviously.

Technical Principles
Anchor/supplementary carrier cell
Anchor carrier cell: carries all channels other than HS-DSCHs, including DPCHs/F-DPCHs, E-HICHs, E-
AGCHs, and E-RGCHs.
Supplementary carrier cell: carries the physical channels that receive only the DL carriers other than
anchor carriers when DC-HSDPA is enabled in CELL_DCH state, including P-CPICHs and HSDPAs.
The DL frequencies of a cell are used as anchor carriers, and the DL frequencies of the other cell are
used as supplementary carriers. Only the UL frequencies of the cell corresponding to the anchor carrier
frequencies are used in the uplink.
DC users belong to both anchor and supplementary carrier cells. The DC users can be scheduled in each cell.
Compared with a single cell, the number of users who can be scheduled is doubled, users with high-quality
channels can be selected through DL scheduling, and the system throughput is increased. In addition, the
channel attenuation of DC users is different in the two cells, and the probability of high-quality channels is
higher than that of SC users (frequency-selective gain). Therefore, the throughput of users is increased, and
the service delay is reduced.
Restrictions of DC Cells
DC-HSDPA is used only on DL HS-DSCHs.
The anchor and supplementary carrier cells must belong to the same NodeB and work on adjacent
carriers.
The anchor and supplementary carrier cells must use the same transmit antenna.
The anchor and supplementary carrier cells are synchronous in time, that is, Tcell of the two cells is the
same. In this way, the UEs working in DC-HSDPA require only one DPCH.
According to relevant protocols, the delay of the two cells meet the 1/4-chip precision. It is recommended
that the two carriers in the same sector share a transmit channel, that is, share one RRU to meet time
delay requirements. If two RRUs are used, the two carriers use different transmit channels, and the two
RRUs must be cascaded.

Technical Characteristics
Differentiated Bearer Policy of DC-HSDPA
For the CS services, IMS signaling, SRB signaling, or PS Conversational services with a
small amount of data, the single-carrier bearer is still used because the gain obtained by
DC-HSDPA is not obvious. For the BE/Streaming services, DC-HSDPA can be used first.
Mobility Management
In the case of HO, the active set information and measurement reports of DC users are
sent over anchor carriers, and whether an intra-frequency HO or inter-frequency HO
occurs is determined depending on whether the anchor carrier frequency is the same asthe adjacent cell frequency.
Supporting state transition on DC-HSDPA
The UE state transition is directly performed according to the state transition of a single
carrier.
Service hierarchy
If the f1 frequency is preferred for R99 services, and the f2 frequency is preferred for
HSPA services on the original network, after this feature is introduced, both f1 and f2 can
be used for DL HSUPA, and f2 is recommended for UL HSUPA. In this way, the uplink
load on f1 can be reduced, avoiding influence on R99 services.

Background and Benefits
With the continuous increase of the HSUPA throughput, the interference becomes serious in
multipath scenarios. The RAKE receiver only combines the multipath energy instead of canceling multipath interference. The multipath interference becomes the major factor that
affects the increase of user throughput.
The frequency domain equalization (FDE) can effectively cancel the multipath interference,
and further improves the cell capacity and coverage in comparison with the traditional RAKE
receiver technology.
When fixed reference channel 8 (FRC8) is used, the result of simulation shows that the RAKE
receiver supports a data rate of only about 4 Mbit/s, while FDE supports the full data rate of
8.1 Mbit/s.
Technical Principles
The major technologies for canceling inter-path interference include linear minimum mean
squared error (LMMSE) and FDE. Both LMMSE and FDE focus on equalization. Huawei
adopts the FDE solution.
UL FDE means that the UL receiver of the NodeB equalizes the spectrum in the frequencydomain of the HSUPA E-DPDCHs. After the equalization, the inter-path interference of E-
DPDCHs is suppressed, thus improving the SNR of the E-DPDCHs.
FDE resources are already reserved by baseband boards. Therefore, no CE resources are
consumed when FDE is used, and the baseband boards are not affected.
