Abstract— CQI is the key indicator for HSDPA downlink II. HSDPA UE FEEDBACK DATA FRAME STRUCTURE (HS-
channel quality. UE reports CQI and HARQ-ACK feedback info DPCCH)
to Node-B through uplink channel HS-DPCCH. UE estimates the
The following figure (Figure 1) illustrates the frame
CQI value through an iterative algorithm taking the
structure of the HS-DPCCH. The HS-DPCCH carries uplink
measurements of HS-PDSCH_SIR and CPICH_Ec/No into
account. Besides this the UE probes with varying parameter feedback signaling related to downlink HS-DSCH
values for TB size, modulation type, a reference power setting for transmission. The HS-DSCH-related feedback signaling
HS-PDSCH and an possible power adjustment value to obtain a consists of HARQ-ACK (Hybrid-ARQ Acknowledgement)
CQI value. This paper gives the methods how to determine SIR and CQI. Each sub-frame of length 2 ms (3x2560 chips)
of PDSCH channel, received HS-PDSCH power, the consists of 3 slots, each of length 2560chips. The HARQ-ACK
