HSUPA link budget: to get the data rate of HSUPA at the cell edge
HSUPA link budget focuses on the uplink data rate at the cell edge.
The cell radius should be based on R99 coverage.
When the HSUPA rate is low and DPCCH, DPDCH, E-DPDCH, HS-DPCCH
and E-DPDCH all exist, the PAR is rather high and the power rollback is
significant.
When the HSUPA rate is high, HSUPA adopts the physical channel codes
among {2SF4, 2SF2, 2SF2+2SF4}, and DPCCH, DPDCH, E-DPDCH, HSDPCCH and E-DPDCH all exist, the PAR is low and the power rollback is
insignificant.

Example: For channel PA3, the rate of PS services is 64 kbit/s. The fast fading
margin is 2.1 dB in R99 while that is 1.2 dB in HSUPA.

When the original R99 network has good coverage: The total uplink load
may be appropriately increased.
When the original R99 network has poor coverage: The total uplink load
shall keep unchanged.
Keep the uplink load at 50% and bear the PS services on HSUPA. The
capacity is improved by 30% than R99.
Keep the uplink load at 75% and bear the PS services on HSUPA. The
capacity is improved by 118% than R99.

Section 1 HSUPA CE
Dimensioning
HARQ: It employs fast retransmission in the physical layer. The more the
retransmission times, the more the occupied CEs. The improvement of
demodulation performance enables the cell capacity to be enlarged and enables the
system to support more HSUPA users. The more the users, the more the occupied
CEs.
Coding efficiency: For the lower coding efficiency, the higher physical channel
codes are needed to send a transport block of the same size and the more CEs are
occupied.
Soft handover: In the soft handover area, the UE has established links with multiple
cells and occupies several times CE resources.
DCH associated channel (uplink/downlink): HSUPA needs associated DCHs.
One associated DCH occupies one CE.
Number of concurrent HSUPA users: The more HSUPA users are simultaneously
connected, the more CE resources are occupied.
HSUPA mean throughput: After HSUPA is introduced, the mean throughput is
enlarged and so more CEs are occupied.
The transmission rate is usually constant and so is the number of occupied CEs. The
dimensioning method of R99 may be used to make the calculation.
The transmission rate is variable and the number of occupied CEs also keeps changing. The
following formula may be used for the calculation:
Nce N (1 SHO%) (1 b)
(1 SHO%) (1 b)
N
m
1 - BLER
Nce:
Total CEs occupied in the HSUPA uplink
N:
Number of concurrent HSUPA users
SHO%: Soft handover proportion
b:
Burst margin
BLER: RLC layer block error rate, corresponding to
the service layer QoS index
M:
CEs occupied by physical channel codes (or
code combinations), as shown in the table on
next page.
The number of users of HSUPA associated channels shall satisfy 1 <= N <= 20.
For a system configured with both HSUPA and HSDPA, the number of CEs occupied
by DCH associated channels shall be the greater of the number of CEs occupied by
HSDPA associated channels and that occupied by HSUPA associated channels.

Dimensioning method
R99: The uplink CE dimensioning method is the same as that of the downlink.
The HSUPA transmission rate is variable and so is the coding efficiency. Different
physical channel coding schemes occupy different average numbers of CEs.

After HSUPA is introduced, AGCH, RGCH and HICH are added in the
downlink. They are physical channels and do not occupy Iub bandwidth.
The traffic of TCP acknowledgement packets and RLC layer state packets
is about 2% to 3% of HSUPA traffic. We may estimate it by 2.5%.
