Description 2 Technical Description
2 Technical Description
3GPP Release 6 introduces the HSUPA technology, which uses QPSK to increase the uplink
peak rate to 5.76 Mbit/s. To further increase the peak rate of HSUPA, 3GPP Release 7 introduces
16QAM, whereas the existing power control algorithm cannot support the increased peak rate.
Therefore, 3GPP Release 7 introduces the E-DPCCH Boosting technology to enable a dramatic
increase in the transmit power of an E-DPCCH in a short period of time, which improves the
signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of services that require a high transmission rate. When the E-
DPCCH Boosting feature is used together with the UL 16QAM feature, the theoretical uplink
peak rate of a single HSUPA user can reach 11.5 Mbit/s.

WCDMA RAN
2.1 Uplink 16QAM

This section describes the optional feature WRFD-010694 UL 16QAM.
2.1.1 Overview
3GPP Release 6 introduces the HSUPA technology, which uses QPSK to increase the uplink
peak rate to 5.76 Mbit/s. To further increase the peak rate of HSUPA, 3GPP Release 7 introduces
uplink 16QAM. With this technology, the theoretical uplink peak rate of a single HSUPA user
can reach 11.5 Mbit/s.
Uplink 16QAM is an optional feature, which is subject to the license.
Uplink 16QAM needs support from the CN, RAN, and UE. The requirements of uplink 16QAM
are listed in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Requirements of uplink 16QAM

Item Requirement
CN The CN needs to support the uplink peak rate provided by uplink

16QAM.
RNC The RNC needs to provide the bearer scheme for uplink 16QAM.
NodeB The NodeB needs to support the modulation scheme and scheduling
of uplink 16QAM.
UE The UE needs to support E-DCH category 7 or 9.
The following sections describe the basic principle, radio bearer scheme, and scheduling method
of uplink 16QAM.
2.1.2 Basic Principle

Overview
Uplink 16QAM modulates 4 bits/symbol whereas the original QPSK modulates only 2 bits/
symbol, as shown in Figure 2-1. As a result, uplink 16QAM doubles the rate to 11.5 Mbit/s at
the physical layer.
Figure 2-1 Comparison between 16QAM and QPSK

WCDMA RAN
When the channel conditions are favorable, UL 16QAM increases the maximum throughput of
UEs and reduces the uplink transmission delay. However, UL 16QAM consumes more
resources, thereby increasing uplink load and interference.
As defined in 3GPP TS 25.212, uplink 16QAM is selected only when the sum of TRB rates and
SRB rate of all UE services over HSUPA is higher than 4 Mbit/s. Uplink 16QAM uses 2xSF2
+2xSF4.
New E-DPDCH Slot Formats

When 16QAM is applied, 4-Pulse Amplitude Modulation (4PAM) is used on each E-DPDCH.
Two new E-DPDCH slot formats 8 and 9 are introduced to support 4PAM in the case of SF4
and SF2 respectively, as described in the following table.

16QAM. For details about the table, see 3GPP TS 25.306.

l UEs of Category 7 supports BPSK (2 ms TTI, 10 ms TTI) and 16QAM (2 ms TTI).
l UEs of Category 8 support only BPSK in Dual Cell E-DCH operation.
l UEs of Category 9 support BPSK and 4PSK in Dual Cell E-DCH operation.
Uplink 16QAM has evolved smoothly from HSUPA and does not affect the technical
architecture of HSUPA. Only some radio network functions such as radio bearers and mobility
management, on the RNC and NodeB need to be upgraded to support uplink 16QAM.
2.1.3 Radio Bearer Scheme

The RNC determines that UEs can use UL 16QAM if all of the following conditions are met:
l The service type is PS streaming service or PS BE service.

l All the links in the active set of the E-DCH support uplink 16QAM.

WCDMA RAN
l The sum of the TRB rates and SRB rate exceeds 4 Mbit/s.
– If HSUPA DCCC has taken effect, the TRB rates refer to the current rates.
– If HSUPA DCCC has not taken effect, the TRB rates refer to the MBRs.
l The HspaPlusSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to UL_16QAM.
l The CfgSwitch(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter is set to
CFG_HSUPA_16QAM_SWITCH.
l The UL16QAM parameter on the NodeB side is set to TRUE.
The conditions for selecting uplink 16QAM for combined services are similar to those for
selecting uplink 16QAM for a single service. Whether to select uplink 16QAM for combined
services depends on the total rate of combined services.
2.1.4 Scheduling Method

The scheduling method of uplink 16QAM is the same as that of HSUPA except that some new
tables are introduced. The NodeB needs to use these new tables during scheduling.
The new tables are as follows:
l E-DCH Transport Block Size Tables 2 and 3, introduced in 3GPP TS 25.321

l Scheduling Grant Table 2 (SG-table), introduced in 3GPP TS 25.321
l Mapping of Absolute Grant Value, introduced in 3GPP TS 25.212
2.2 E-DPCCH Boosting

This section describes the feature WRFD-010697 E-DPCCH Boosting.
2.2.1 Overview
Compared with low-speed data transmission, high-speed data transmission has higher
requirements for the uplink Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR). The existing power control
algorithms, however, cannot meet such high requirements. To solve this problem, 3GPP Release
7 introduces the E-DCH Dedicated Physical Control Channel (E-DPCCH) Boosting technique.
When a user initiates high-speed data transmission, E-DPCCH Boosting quickly increases the
transmit power on the E-DPCCH and NodeB uses this channel for multipath searching and
channel estimation. This increases the accuracy of channel estimation and therefore improves
the high-speed transmission performance, allowing for higher peak throughput and cell
throughput in the uplink.
E-DPCCH Boosting is essential for high-speed data transmission using uplink 16QAM, which
requires strictly accurate channel estimation. When used together with uplink 16QAM, E-
DPCCH Boosting allows for a theoretical peak rate of 11.5 Mbit/s for a single user in the uplink.
E-DPCCH Boosting is an optional feature, which is under license control.
E-DPCCH Boosting requires support from the RNC, NodeB, and UE. The requirements are
listed in Table 2-2.

WCDMA RAN
Table 2-2 Requirements of E-DPCCH Boosting
Item Requirement
CN None
RNC The RNC must support and activate the HSUPA feature, on which
this feature depends on.
The RNC must decide whether to configure E-DPCCH Boosting for
a UE according to radio bearer policies and perform mobility
management based on E-DPCCH Boosting.
NodeB The NodeB must support and activate the HSUPA feature.
The NodeB must use the E-DPCCH to perform multipath searching
and channel estimation for UEs using E-DPCCH boosting.
UE The UE must support 3GPP Release 7 and E-DPCCH Boosting.
2.2.2 Basic Principles

In High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) data transmission, the NodeB traditionally uses
the uplink DPCCH for multipath searching and channel estimation to demodulate the E-DPDCH
data. The uplink DPCCH uses outer loop power control to adjust the target SIR, which must be
raised quickly in high-speed data transmission. Outer loop power control, however, cannot keep
pace with the quick change in data rates. As a result, the target SIR fails to be adjusted in time,
leading to a high possibility in demodulation errors and therefore a low throughput.
E-DPCCH Boosting solves the preceding problem. In the case of high-speed data transmission
bursts, E-DPCCH Boosting uses the E-DPCCH for multipath searching and channel estimation.
The high power of the E-DPCCH results in high SIR, ensuring the demodulation accuracy and
high uplink throughput. Figure 2-2 shows the change in channel estimation reference before
and after using E-DPCCH Boosting.
Figure 2-2 Change in channel estimation reference before and after using E-DPCCH Boosting

WCDMA RAN
UEs in HSUPA data transmission mode decide whether to use E-DPCCH Boosting according
to the E-DCH Transport Format Combination Indicator (E-TFCI) size and E-TFCI threshold (E-
TFCIec,boost) chosen by each TTI.
NOTE
E-TFCIec,boost, determined by upper layers, is not user-configurable.

E-TFCIec,boost indicates the E-TFCI of TBs sent by a UE using E-DPCCH Boosting. On the network side,
the EcBoostingTotalRateThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter in the SET UFRC command is used to
calculate the number of bits sent by a UE during a TTI. The bits in a TTI correspond to a value of the E-
TFCIec,boost parameter. If the value of the E-TFCI for the TBs sent by a UE is greater than the value of E-
TFCIec,boost parameter, the UE uses E-DPCCH Boosting to send uplink data. For details about the E-TFCI,
see the following sections in 3GPP TS 25.321 V8.1.0:
l 9.2.5.4 Transport block size
l 11.8.1.4 E-TFC Selection
l Annex B (normative): E-DCH Transport Block Size Tables for FDD
l If E-TFCI is smaller than or equal to E-TFCIec,boost, the UE does not use E-DPCCH
Boosting. In such a case, the transmit power of the E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH is determined
by power control algorithms. For details, see the related descriptions of HSUPA power
control in Power Control Feature Parameter Description.
l If E-TFCI is greater than E-TFCIec,boost, the UE uses E-DPCCH Boosting as follows:
– To quickly increase the E-DPCCH transmit power, the UE computes the E-DPCCH
power offset according to the amount of data transmitted over the E-DPDCH. A larger
amount of transmitted data corresponds to a higher E-DPCCH power offset. This allows
for prompt scaling of E-DPCCH transmit power, which enables high demodulation
success rate of the E-DPDCH data. For details, see section 5.1.2.5B "Setting of the
uplink E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH powers relative to DPCCH power" in 3GPP TS
25.214.
– To achieve higher SIR, the NodeB uses the E-DPCCH for multipath searching and
channel estimation.
2.2.3 Radio Bearer Policies

E-DPCCH Boosting can be applied to HSUPA streaming services, BE services, and combined
services when the following conditions are met:
l The RNC supports E-DPCCH Boosting.
l UEs support E-DPCCH Boosting and the uplink RBs of UEs in the CELL_DCH state are
carried on the E-DCH.
l All cells in the E-DCH active set support E-DPCCH Boosting.
l The maximum bit rate of HSUPA services must be greater than the value of the
EcBoostingTotalRateThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
l The sum of the MBR of all HSUPA services in combined services must be greater than the
value of the EcBoostingTotalRateThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter.
2.2.4 Mobility Management

Before performing a soft handover on a UE configured with E-DPCCH Boosting, the RNC
checks whether all RB policies can be followed after the soft handover. If yes, the RNC continues
to configure the UE with E-DPCCH Boosting. If not, the UE is no longer configured with E-
DPCCH Boosting.

WCDMA RAN
Before performing a soft handover on a UE that supports abut is not configured with E-DPCCH
Boosting, the RNC checks whether all RB policies can be followed after the soft handover. If
yes, the RNC configures the UE with E-DPCCH Boosting by using HSPA+ directed retry. If
not, the RNC does not configure the UE with E-DPCCH Boosting.
NOTE
For details about HSPA+ directed retry, see Directed Retry Decision Feature Parameter Description.
2.2.5 Involved IEs

UEs and NodeBs report their E-DPCCH Boosting capabilities to the RNC through IEs as follows:
l UEs send the RNC the IE "UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION" to report their E-DPCCH
Boosting capabilities. The IE is contained in messages UE CAPABILITY
INFORMATION and RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE.
l NodeBs send the RNC the IE "E-DPCCH Power Boosting Capability" to report the E-
DPCCH Boosting capability of each cell. The IE is contained in messages AUDIT
RESPONSE and RESOURCE STATUS INDICATION.
When configuring a UE with E-DPCCH Boosting, the RNC informs the UE by using the Radio
Resource Control (RRC) messages such as ACTIVE SET UPDATE, RRC CONNECTION
SETUP, and RADIO BEARER SETUP. The RNC also informs the NodeB by using the NodeB
Application Part (NBAP) messages such as RADIO LINK SETUP REQUEST, RADIO LINK
ADDITION REQUEST, and RADIO LINK RECONFIGURATION REQUEST.
After being configured with E-DPCCH Boosting, If the E-TFCI of the uplink data sent by a UE
is greater than the value of the E-TFCIec,boost parameter, enable E-DPCCH Boosting for the
UE.

Network Performance
When Uu resources are sufficient, UL 16QAM allows the use of the higher order modulation
on the E-DPDCH, thereby increasing the uplink peak rate of a single UE.
However, higher order modulation consumes more resources. After UL 16QAM is enabled for
high-speed moving UEs in a cell, instantaneous received total wideband power (RTWP) of the
cell greatly increases. In this case, the access success rate decreases and the call drop rate
increases in the cell.

Using MML Commands
Step 1 Turn on the UL 16QAM function switch on the NodeB side for a cell.
l For a 3900 series base station/micro base station, run the MML command MOD
ULOCELL to modify a local cell. In this step, set UL 16QAM to TRUE(TRUE).
l For a BTS3812AE/BTS3812E/DBS3800, run the MOD LOCELL command to turn on the
UL 16QAM function switch for a cell.
Step 2 Run the RNC MML command MOD UCELLALGOSWITCH, and select the UL_16QAM
(Cell UL 16QAM Function Switch) check box under the parameter Cell Hspa Plus function
switch.
For a new cell, run the ADD UCELLALGOSWITCH command to turn on the UL 16QAM
function switch.
Step 3 Run the RNC MML command SET UCORRMALGOSWITCH, and select the
CFG_HSUPA_16QAM_SWITCH check box under the parameter Channel Configuration
Strategy Switch.
Step 4 (Optional) Run the RNC MML command SET UFRC, and select the UL_16QAM check box
under the HSPA Technologies Retried by UEs parameter to enable periodic DRD for Uplink
16QAM.
----End
If the ratio of UEs on which the UL 16QAM feature takes effect is low due to insufficient uplink

Adjustment
If the ratio of UEs on which the UL 16QAM feature takes effect is low due to insufficient uplink
resources after this feature is enabled, you can perform either of the following operations:
l Increase the HSUPA scheduling threshold.

On the RNC side, run the MOD UCELLHSUPA command to modify the value of the
MaxTargetUlLoadFactor(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter (the recommended value is
90%). This operation will increase cell load and may deteriorate coverage performance.
l Enable WRFD-140211 Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment.
WRFD-140211 Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment increases the rise over thermal (RoT)
when the cell coverage is not limited. The RAN side uses algorithms to achieve an optimal
trade-off between the load and capacity, thereby reducing impacts of this feature on
coverage performance. For details about how to enable WRFD-140211 Dynamic Target
RoT Adjustment, see HSUPA Feature Parameter Description.
If the ratio of the period in which the UL 16QAM feature takes effect is low because there is no
sufficient data to transmit after this feature is enabled, you can add full buffer UEs in the live
network to verify gains provided by this feature.

If RAN Sharing or MOCN is enabled, the licensed value is allocated among the primary
and secondary operators according to the value of the "License Allocation for Multiple
Operators parameter".
Method 2: some license control items, such as UL CE Num, can be allocated through both
the common group and private groups. In this case, the licensed values specified by the
private group are preferentially used, and the licensed value specified by the common group
is used on a first-come, first-served basis. For the NodeB license allocation among multiple
operators, see License Management Feature Parameter Description.
l Others
– The UE is of 3GPP Release -7 or later and supports this feature.
– CN supports data bit rate of 11.5 Mbit/s or above.
Precautions
You need to enable the WRFD-01061403 HSUPA 2ms TTI and WRFD-010636 SRB over
HSUPA features because this feature takes effect by default when the UE throughput is larger
than 4 Mbit/s. You can use the EcBoostingTotalRateThd(BSC6900,BSC6910) parameter to set
the UE throughput. The values of parameters related to reference power offset affect the E-
DPDCH power. To ensure that the peak rate reaches the expected value, check that the

WCDMA RAN
parameters related to reference power offset are set to appropriate values before enabling this
feature.
Parameters related to reference power offset are as follows:
l EtfciTabIdx(BSC6900,BSC6910): index of the E-DCH transport format combination

indicator (E-TFCI) table
l RefEtfciNum(BSC6900,BSC6910): number of reference E-TFCIs
l RefEtfciIdxn: index of the PDU size used by a reference E-TFCI in the E-TFCI table (n
ranges from 1 to 8; RefEtfciIdxn ranges from RefEtfciIdx1(BSC6900,BSC6910) to
RefEtfciIdx8(BSC6900,BSC6910))
l RefEtfciPOn: index of reference E-TFCI power offset (n ranges from 1 to 8; RefEtfciPOn
ranges from RefEtfciPO1(BSC6900,BSC6910) to RefEtfciPO8(BSC6900,BSC6910))
l ERgch3IndStpThs(BSC6900,BSC6910): E-RGCH 3-index-step threshold
l ERgch2IndStpThs(BSC6900,BSC6910): E-RGCH 2-index-step threshold
NOTE
l If neither UL 16QAM nor UL Layer 2 Improvement is supported, set parameters related to reference
power offset to the following values: ETFCITABIDX=1, REFETFCINUM=D8, REFETFCIIDX1=1,
REFETFCIIDX2=10, REFETFCIIDX3=108, REFETFCIIDX4=111, REFETFCIIDX5=113,

NOTE
With the E-DPCCH Boosting feature, when the rate required by a user exceeds the specified rate threshold,
the NodeB uses an E-DPCCH instead of a DPCCH to implement multipath searching and channel
estimation. However, the demodulation performance of an E-DPDCH does not have any significant change
compared with that of a DPDCH. Therefore, enabling the E-DPCCH Boosting feature in QPSK scenarios
does not have great impact on the uplink transmission performance of HSUPA users in these scenarios.

TAll/(VS.HSUPA.Data- HSUPA users in a cell
TtiNum x 0.002) (kbps) when data is transmitted
The throughput gains can be observed only when E-DPCCH Boosting enabled with UL 16QAM
and HSPA+ Uplink 11.5Mbit/s per User. The gains produced by E-DPCCH Boosting in the
throughput can be monitored by using counters or the monitoring function on the LMT.
l Monitoring the throughput gains by using counters

– Monitor the value of the VS.HSUPA.MeanChThroughput(BSC6900,BSC6910)
counter. If the value increases after E-DPCCH Boosting is enabled, E-DPCCH Boosting
produces gains in the average throughput of UEs.
– Monitor the value of the VS.HSUPA.Thruput.ROTAll/(VS.HSUPA.DataTtiNum x
0.002) (kbps) counter. If the value increases after E-DPCCH Boosting is enabled, E-
DPCCH Boosting produces gains in the throughput of a cell.
As there are only a few number of full buffer UEs on the live network, the throughput
gains monitored by the preceding counters are not obvious. Full buffer UEs are those
that have a large amount of data to continuously transmit.
l Monitoring the throughput gains by using the monitoring function on the LMT
For details, see the section "Activation Observation" in the section "WRFD-010698 HSPA
