Functional Description
A streaming service is a unidirectional data communication service, which requires a
certain degree of real-time performance and certain rate, and ensures the time relativism
between packets. Streaming services include audio streaming and video streaming.
Streaming services have the following features:
l
l
l
l

The size of each data packet is almost the same

No burst occurs
High requirements for the BER
High requirements for delay and delay jitter

The HS-DSCH provides services for all UEs. A HSDPA cell mainly carries high-speed data
services and burst services, for example, interactive services and background services.
However, streaming services can also be transmitted through HS-DSCHs if their BER and
transmit delay are ensured through an appropriate scheduling mechanism.
While the streaming services are in the coverage area of the network, the QoS must remain
stable. The QoS should not be degraded when the quality of signals is deteriorated or when
the number of users increase. HSDPA uses the AMC technology, so users' throughput
goes down when the quality of signals is deteriorated. In addition, HSDPA users share
the radio resources of the air interface. Therefore, the throughput of one or more users
goes down if the number of users is increased. However, the phenomena are contrary to
the features of the streaming service. ZTEs UMTS RAN offers the following solution: The
RNC gives a specific parameter identifier to a streaming service, and Node B provides
special services for a streaming service through a scheduling algorithm and flow control
algorithm. The main principle is as follows:
l

Assign a larger justice factor to streaming users in the scheduling algorithm, so as to

relieve the impact of the increase in the non-streaming service users on the QoS of
the existing streaming service users
Control the waiting time of the streaming service users to an appropriate level (the
waiting time of the streaming services should be a little shorter than that of interactive
services and background services, so as to ensure the real-time performance of the
streaming services)
Ensure the retransmission priority of the streaming services, so as to ensure the
real-time performance

4.2 Steps for Test

1. UE activates a PS call in Cell1 and starts FTP downloading. Maintain the service for
30s.
2. From RAB_AssignmentRequestMsg, we can see that the PS service type is
streaming. MBR= UL2Mbps/ DL2Mbps, GBR=UL384Kbps/ DL384Kbps.

From RadioLinkReconfigurationPrepareFDDMsg, we can see that the downlink

channel is established on HSDSCH channel,

From RadioLinkReconfigurationPrepareFDDMsg, we can see that the uplink channel

is established on DCH channel.

3. Deactivate the PDP.

4.3 Expected Results

The PS service is established and released on DCH /HS-DSCH successfully.
