Research on Uplink Rate Control Algorithm in UMTS Wang Zhongwei School of Telecommunication Engineerning, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Beijing, PRC 100876 jonvi.wang@ Abstract In Release 6 of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) standard, uplink speeds are becoming increasingly important to support applications such as FTP, E-Mail, and Gaming. In this paper, a new rate control algorithm for uplink high speed packet data transmission is proposed in order to achieve affective tradeoff between cell throughput and user fairness. The proposed algorithm allocates available resources in a probabilistic manner. And a soft handoff (SHO) load control algorithm is also considered when current load exceeds a threshold. Simulation result shows that, within multi-user environment, the proposed rate control algorithm has higher throughput and better user fairness achievement compared with the conventional rate scheduling in Release 6. Keywords: UMTS; rate control; probabilistic manner; overload control 1 Introduction In order to support high speed data service, the Release 6 version of the UMTS standard introduces an Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH), also referred to as High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA). One of the major enhancements of E-DCH compared with Release 99 dedicated channel (DCH) is distributed and fast sche
