HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) Next evolution step of UMTS, 3.5G Defined in 3GPP Rel5 specs Offers peak data rates up to 14 Mbit/s (2 Mbit/s with R99 UMTS) and 50-100% increase in system capacity HSDPA is a set of new features in base station and terminal: AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) HARQ retransmissions Fast scheduling Fast power control and variable SF are replaced with AMC, multicode transmission, and HARQ No SHO HSDPA features are applied to new HS-DSCH (High Speed Downlink Shared Channel) transport channel Rel99 channels can co-exist with HSDSCH

All release 99 parameters available earlier with Qualcomm are supported E.g. Application throughput, PPP throughput, CPICH Ec/No etc.. Blue colored parameters are supported only with Nemo Analyze Rest of the parameters are supported both with Nemo Outdoor and Nemo Analyze
List of parameters:
CQI percentage histogram Channel quality indicator (CQI), reported by terminal to the NW Reported in every 2ms by the terminal, histogram event written to measurement file in every 200ms CQI mode The most common CQI value among in histogram

HS- PDSCH throughput (High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel throughput) CQI feedback cycle Controls how often the UE transmits new CQI information on the uplink (see 3GPP TS 25.214 s6A.1.2). CQI repetition factor Controls how often the UE repeats CQI information on the uplink (see 3GPP TS 25.214 s6A.1.2). Ack/Nack repetition factor Controls how often the UE repeats each ACK or NACK (see 3GPP TS 25.214 s6A.1.1). HSDPA HARQ process information HARQ uses incremental redundancy, where user data is transmitted multiple times using different codings. When a corrupted packet is received, the user device saves it and later combines it with the retransmissions, to recover the error-free packet as efficiently as possible. Even if the retransmitted packets are corrupted, their combination can yield an error-free packet.

Key parameters: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd MACHS retransmission rate 1st retransmission rate should be in reasonable level Low rate can indicate too conservative link adaptation 2nd and 3rd retransmission rates should be near to 0

Throughput
Transmission/Core NW Limitation or Other HSDPA users in the Cell
Physical layer requested throughput is 5.34MB (computational throughput based on CQI) Actual MAC-HS throughput is ~235kB Radio conditions would allow ~5MB higher throughput HS-SCCH usage is 12% 88% of the time the HSDPA channel has been idle or allocated to another user

Trade-off between system capacity and service coverage with packet scheduling Performance and scalability of HSDPA depends strongly on the vendor-specific packet scheduling algorithm Testing needed! Multiple test terminals in the same cell downloading bulk data Different channel conditions and/or QoS profiles Key parameters: HS-DSCH activity rate End-user/cell throughput
