RAN19.1 01 (2017-03-20)
Compared with Issue 01 (2016-02-29) of RAN18.1, Draft A (2016-12-30) of RAN19.1 includes the following changes:
Added WRFD-190210 4-Way Receive Diversity by Inter-Band Assistance in 3.2 Scenario 2: Increasing Multiple Users'
Uplink Throughput.
2 Solution Overview
2.1 Background
Continuous innovation of the mobile Internet and growing UE capabilities provide access to more services, for example,
microblogging, instant messaging, photographing, and video recording. Accordingly, the demand increases for uplink data
services, such as picture and video uploading and file sharing. These services require a higher uplink throughput to
guarantee user experience, particularly in scenic spots and during major events.
The solution is intended to improve the uplink throughput of UEs that transmit data continuously in commercial networks.
NOTE:
The uplink capacity is reflected by the number of uplink online users and uplink throughput. In actual networks, most UEs
transmit small packets intermittently and a small number of UEs transmit data continuously. For the small data packet
solution, see UMTS Small Data Packet Storm Solution.
UEs transmitting data continuously are those that need to transmit data for a comparatively long period of time,
for example, UEs that need to upload data through FTP (to share or back up large files) or UEs that need to
upload pictures or videos.
There must be at least one UE transmitting data continuously in the cell.

NOTE:
In scenarios where external interference exists but HSUPA anti-interference scheduling is not used, the access success
rate of UEs at the cell edge may be improved slightly, but the basic throughput requirement of these UEs cannot be
guaranteed after accessing the network.
NOTE:
The throughput of 2 Mbit/s applies to the typical configuration scenario where two antennas are configured and
the target RoT threshold for cell HSUPA scheduling is 6 dB. This value varies with the number of antennas and
the target RoT threshold for cell HSUPA scheduling.
The throughput of 2 Mbit/s applies to the common wireless channels in the live network, such as PB, TU, and
VA. If the channel quality is good, especially in a lab test, a value larger than 2 Mbit/s is required.

enhancement Parameter Description
This solution introduces some features to improve the maximum throughput of single UEs. The features include HSUPA
Introduction Package, HSUPA Phase 2, HSPA+ Uplink 11.5Mbit/s per User, SRB over HSUPA, DC-HSUPA, UL 16QAM,
and E-DPCCH Boosting. To reduce impacts of HSUPA and HSUPA Phase 2 on coverage, the following features are
introduced:
TTI Switch for BE Services Based on Coverage: bridges the gap between the coverage supported by HSUPA 2
ms TTI and the coverage supported by HSUPA 10 ms TTI.
Coverage-based Fallback from the E-DCH to the DCH: bridges the gap between the coverage supported by
HSUPA and the coverage supported by R99.
As advanced receivers, HSUPA FDE and Interference Rejection Combining (IRC) improve the receiver performance in
multi-path channel scenarios and in scenarios with a few intensive interfering sources, respectively, improving the single
user throughput.
HSUPA IC reduces interference among multiple code channels for one UE. Turbo IC reduces interference among paths for
one UE. Therefore, HSUPA IC and Turbo IC provide gains for even a single UE if multi-path interference occurs.
Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment adjusts the HSUPA target scheduling threshold to increase the HSUPA throughput when
there is good coverage performance at the edge of the cell.
Enhancement of HSUPA Power Control uses the optimized SIR estimation algorithm to suppress the increase in RTWP
and improve the cell throughput.
Dual-Threshold Scheduling with HSUPA Interference Cancellation uses the interference cancellation algorithm to reduce
interference between UEs so that the RTWP of the cell is reduced after the interference cancellation algorithm is enabled.
Meanwhile, this feature increases the RTWP scheduling target threshold to improve the HSUPA throughput.
To help the HSUPA scheduler control target RoT of a cell effectively and ensure satisfactory coverage performance,
Dynamic Target RoT Adjustment monitors the coverage performance of UEs at the cell edge and dynamically adjusts the

target RoT. For example, this function uses a target RoT greater than the static one in a cell where the coverage
performance for UEs at the cell edge is sound.
Anti-interference Scheduling for HSUPA monitors external interference in real time. When the cell experiences strong
interference, the HSUPA scheduling target threshold is increased to ensure appropriate HSUPA throughput.
For specific principles of each feature, see the related feature parameter description.
3.1.4 Implementation
Features in this solution do not have any negative impacts on each other, which means that they are not mutually
exclusive. Therefore, they can be enabled at the same time. For deployment of each feature, see the related feature
parameter description.
NOTE:
The throughput of 2 Mbit/s applies to the typical configuration scenario where two antennas are configured, the
target RoT threshold for cell HSUPA scheduling is 6 dB, and only a few UEs (such as less than 6) transmit data
simultaneously. This value varies with the number of antennas, the target RoT threshold for cell HSUPA
scheduling, and the number of UEs performing data transmission simultaneously.
The throughput of 2 Mbit/s applies to the common wireless channels in the live network, such as PB, TU, and
VA. If the channel quality is good, especially in a lab test, a value larger than 2 Mbit/s is required.
Introduces the adaptive configuration algorithm of QoS parameters to balance between the QoS and capacity
and obtain the optimum performance.
Performs interference cancellation (IC) and coordination to reduce interferences between UEs.
Introduces the uplink 4-way receive diversity to help enhance the uplink demodulation performance.
