HSUPA

E-DPDCH is an uplink physical channel for carrying the E-DCH data especially. SF = variable & BPSK
E-DPCCH is an uplink control channel for carrying the E-DCH control information especially. SF = 256 & BPSK
E-AGCH is a downlink common physical channel for carrying the E-DCH absolute grant data. SF = 256 & QPSK
E-RGCH is a downlink physical channel for carrying the E-DCH relative grant data especially. SF = 128 & QPSK
E-HICH is a downlink physical channel for carrying the E-DCH HARQ acknowledgement indications. SF = 128 &
QPSK
When targeting the same UE, E-RGCH & E-HICH uses same SF=128 and are distinguished by a different signature
sequence

absolute grant

Absolute limitation on the maximum resources available to the UE

The absolute grant is sent by the serving cell of the serving E-DCH and is effective to a UE, a group of
UEs, or all UEs

The E-DCH serving cell sends scheduling command (namely absolute grant) over the downlink EAGCH to the UE. The absolute grant specifies the absolute value of the maximum resources available to a
UE. The absolute grant includes E-RNTI and maximum transmit power of the UE.

relative grant.

Increases or reduces the value of the previous grant.

The relative grant (updating) is sent by the serving Node B or non-serving Node B as the supplement
of the absolute grant.

The relative grant is used to adjust the absolute grant. The values of the relative grant include UP, HOLD,
and DOWN. Only serving E-DCH RLS can send UP; while non-serving E-DCH RLS can only send HOLD or
DOWN. When the uplink payload is too large, the non-serving E-DCH RLS sends DOWN.
