 One product package release will be delivered each year, including a major release and
a sub release. Major release is available at first with major content of the annual
package release. Limited content could be scheduled into sub release, which also aims
at introduction of priority marketing requirement after content frozen deadline of major
release. Both major and sub release are well qualified with full materials for commercial
delivery.

 HSDPA/HSUPA UE Category of U9.3

For 2ms & 10ms TTI, HSUPA UE categories 1

to 6 are supported in U9.1 and before.

In UR11.1, UE with HSUPA category 7 is

UEs of Category 13 and Category 14 support 64QAM but not MIMO. UEs of supported with UL 16QAM/11Mbps peak bit
Category 15 and Category 16 support MIMO but not 64QAM. UEs of rate.
Category 17 and Category 18 support 64QAM and MIMO, but the two
technologies cannot be used simultaneously.
UEs of Category 21 and Category 22 support DC-HSDPA, but do not
support 64QAM. UEs of Category 23 and Category 24 support the
combination of DC-HSDPA and 64QAM.
In UR11.1, UE with HS-DSCH physical layer categories 19, 20 are
supported with combination of MIMO and 64QAM.
In UR11.2 UE with HS-DSCH physical layer categories 27, 28 are supported
with the combination of DC-HSDPA, MIMO and 64QAM.
DL 28.8Mbps: 2*2 MIMO
 MIMO uses multiple transmitting/receiving antennas at the two ends to speed date rate,
decrease BER and improve QoS of radio signal. Channel coding, interleaving and
spreading are finished in non-MIMO mode; the dispatch algorithm in NodeB can decide
to transmit whether one TB or two TBs to UE in one TTI.

co-location

 Technology Principles:
 In downlink, transmit on two parallel 5 MHz adjacent carriers to a single UE
both in primary and secondary HS-DSCH serving cell.
 In uplink, HSUPA transmitted only on primary serving cell.
 Each TTI , downlink data can be transmitted from one of the carriers or
from both carriers. Each HS-DSCH has its own HS-SCCH and own HARQ
entity.
 There is one common HS-DPCCH for both carriers, which reports
ACK/NACK/CQI for 2 Carriers, transmitted on the primary serving cell.

Enhanced F-DPCH

In R6, Due to macro diversity, there is a potential conflict

Fractional DPCH (F-DPCH) was added in Rel-6 to between UEs for the allocation of an F-DPCH because,

 CS over HSPA
CS voice over HSPA

 CS voice is carried on HSPA.

 No core network impact.
 Acts as a stepping stone to VoIP over HSPA/LTE in the future.
 Seamless handover to 2G
 Provides a 50 to 100% capacity gain over current voice
implementations.
 With up to 50% extended talk time while maintaining the same
quality.

VoIP HSPA

 Requires considerable new infrastructure in the core network.

 SR VCC is required to keep service continuity between CS core and PS core.

Snow 3G Security Algorithms
 The feature includes UEA2 ciphering algorithm and UIA2
Integrity Protection algorithm. The feature can protect the
Confidentiality and Integrity of the messages.
 The new confidentiality algorithm for f8 (UEA2) now
encrypts and decrypts frames using SNOW 3G as a
standard synchronous stream cipher. Snow 3G defines
how the system parameters COUNT, BEARER and
DIRECTION are used together with the Confidentiality Key
(CK) to initialise the key stream generator.
 The output from SNOW 3G consists of 32 bit words that
are used to corresponding Input Bit Stream (IBS).

 3G to 2G PS handover signaling flow  New PS IRAT HO
procedures are defined in
3GPP R6. PS service
interruption could be
reduced to about a second
level to meet high speed
and real-time service
experience.
 PS Inter-RAT HO via

UE in Cell_DCH state.
 Inter-RAT PS HO is applied
