(1) Capacity depends on software version, configuration, and license. Maximum DCH capacity results in reduced
High-Speed (HS) capacity and maximum HS capacity results in reduced DCH capacity. See also Compatibilities
for Hardware and Software.
(2) Dedicated Channel (DCH).
(3) Used for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA).
(4) The maximum capacity per cell carrier is 15 High-Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel (HS-PDSCH) codes.
(5) The board supports up to three cell carriers for HSDPA. (For DCH up to six cell carriers are supported.)
(6) 60 HS-PDSCH codes are available in a configuration of six cell carriers. The board supports up to 6 cell carriers.
(7) 60 HS-PDSCH codes are available in a configuration of six cell carriers. The board supports up to 6 cell carriers.
Future software releases will enable additional capacity.
(8) Enhanced Uplink (EUL)

1.3.1 Hardware Capability of TX6HS Boards

The list below shows the hardware capability of the TX6HS-03, TX6HS-04
and TX6HS-06 boards.

• DCH

• Transport channel: High-Speed Downlink Shared Channels (HS-DSCH)

and four High-Speed Shared Control Channels (HS-SCCH) per cell carrier.

• HS-PDSCH

• Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying (QPSK) and 16-Quadrature Amplitude

Modulation (16QAM)

• Scheduling of EUL traffic distribution over Random Access and Receiver

(RAX) boards

Figure 3 TX6-0x and TX6HS-0x Main Functions

TX boards are available with various capacity and capabilities. Extra capacity
is added by license keys or by adding more boards for load-sharing up to
maximum capacity. Additional TX boards can be added for redundancy when
low capacity is required.

The unit has the following functions:

• Soft and softer handover

• Transport channel handling

• Encoding

• Modulation and spreading

• Physical channel combining
