HSDPA Technology and Its Potential Applications Zhang Junfeng (Mobile Division of ZTE Corporation, Shenzhen 518004, China) Since WCDMA, a third generation mobile communication system, is based on R99 version, it only can provide a maximum transmission rate of 2 Mb/s, which is far from sufficient for current demand from users for bandwidth-intensive mobile multimedia services. Due to the competition with WLAN and the following WiMAX technology, R99 is facing a dilemma that it might get outdated immediately after it is put into commercial use. As a result, 3GPP Organization has diverted the technology development path towards HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), which is able to meet users requirements for transmission bandwidth in stages. From a technical angle, it is seen that a High-Speed Downlink Share Channel (HS-DSCH) has been employed in HSDPA. By installing the functional entity into Node B and applying the shortened sub-frame, 16QAM, Adaptive Modulation Coding (AMC) and the crucial technology combined with HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request), this revolutionary new technology can improve the downlink capability and reduce delay in the 3G network anaphase construction by improving the downlink data traffic rate to 13.9 Mb/s. Combined with the new technologies, such as Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplex (OFDM) or Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO), HSDPA technology is able to evolve to a post-3G system as well as enlarge the data flow. Introduction of HSDPA Technology Structure of HSDPA Channel As compared to R99 version, more physical channels and transmission channels are added in HSDPA. Change of Physical Channel. The High-speed downlink physical share channel (HS-PDSCH) is used to load HS-DSCH, which is mainly used to load the dedicated packet data and some of the third layer signaling. HS-PDSCH is employed with the fixed SF=16 physical channel. HS-SCCH (Shared Control Channel for HS-DSCH) is applied with the fixed code rate (60 kb/s, SF=128), wh
