Channel Introduction
Information between different layers or between equivalent entities at layer 1 is carried on channels. The following three types of channel are defined in UTRAN: Logical channel Logical channels implement data transfer between layer 2 and the higher layer. Logical channels are mapped onto transport channels at the MAC layer, which is part of layer 2.
z
Transport channel Transport channels implement data transfer between layer 2 and layer 1. Transport channels are mapped onto physical channels at layer 1.
Physical channel Physical channels implement data transfer on the radio interface between equivalent layer 1 entities. The physical channels correspond to different radio frame types and contents.
This document describes the three types of channel. Figure 2-1 shows the positions of the three types of channel at the protocol layers.

3.1 Logical Channel

The MAC layer provides data transfer services on logical channels. A set of logical channel types is defined for different kinds of data transfer as offered by MAC. Each logical channel type is defined by what type of information is transferred. Generally, logical channels are categorized into the following types:
z z
Control channel (for the transfer of control plane information) Traffic channel (for the transfer of user plane information)

the network, for example, RRC messages and cell update messages. This channel is commonly used by the RNC and UEs before the RRC connection is set up or when a UE accesses a new cell after cell reselection. DCCH Dedicated Control Channel DL and UL A dedicated channel for transmitting control information between a UE and the network. This channel is established through an RRC connection setup procedure. DCCH is associated with DTCH. MCCH MBMS Point-to-Multipoint Control Channel DL A point-to-multipoint downlink channel for transmitting control information from the network to the UE. This channel is used by only the UEs that receive MBMS. MSCH MBMS Point-to-Multipoint Scheduling Channel DL A point-to-multipoint downlink channel used to transmit scheduling control information from the network to the UE for one or several MTCHs carried on a CCTrCH. This channel is used by only the UEs that receive MBMS. Traffic channel CTCH Common Traffic Channel DL A common channel for transmitting user plane data, such as Cell Broadcast Service (CBS) A dedicated channel for transmitting user plane data, such as speech and CS/PS data. DTCH is associated with DCCH. MTCH MBMS Point-to-Multipoint Traffic Channel DL A point-to-multipoint downlink channel for transmitting traffic data from the network to the UE. This channel is used only for MBMS.

3.1.1 Logical Channel Priority

Logical channel priority is used to define the priority of each logical channel. It works when more than one logical channel is mapped onto one transport channel or physical channel. Typically, logical channel priorities need to be set for only DCCH and DTCH.
3-2
Issue 02 (2008-07-30)
The logical channel priority is set based on the type of the logical channel and the service that the logical channel carries. Each service corresponds to a logical channel priority. To improve the user experience, the logical channel priority is set according to the following rule: Signaling > CS service > PS interactive service> PS background service
The value of logical channel priority ranges from 1 to 8. The value 1 corresponds to the highest priority.

3.1.2 System Information Block and Default Value

This describes System Information Blocks (SIBs), which are carried on the BCCH. The system information elements are broadcast in SIBs.
Overview of System Information Block

A system information block groups together system information elements of the same nature. Different SIBs may have different characteristics, for example, repetition rate and the requirements on UEs to re-read the SIBs. Table 3-3 describes SIB contents briefly and Huawei usage.

The system information is organized as a tree. A master information block gives references and scheduling information to a number of system information blocks in a cell. The system information blocks contain the actual system information. Scheduling of system information blocks is performed by the RRC layer in UTRAN. RRC can calculate the repetition period and position of each SIB segment for every SIB automatically based on its importance. Figure 3-1 shows an example of SIB scheduling result. In Figure 3-1, MIB (Master information block) is sent firstly, and SB1 is sent secondly. Figure 3-1 Example of SIB scheduling result

3.2 Transport Channel

A transport channel is defined by how and with what characteristics data is transferred over the air interface. Generally, transport channels are categorized into the following types:
z z
Common transport channel (where UE is addressed by the ID carried with the transport block) Dedicated transport channel (where UE is identified by the physical channel, for example, code and frequency)

3.2.1 Non-HSPA Channel Transport Format

This describes the concepts related to non-HSPA channel transport formats. To each transport channel, there is an associated transport format (for transport channels with a fixed rate) or an associated transport format set (for transport channels with fast changing rate). A transport format is defined as a combination of encoding, bit rate, rate matching attribute and CRC size. A transport format set is a set of transport formats. For example, a variable-rate DCH has a transport format set (one transport format for each rate), whereas a fixed-rate DCH has a single transport format. See definitions as follows:
z z z
Transport block: This is the basic unit exchanged between layer 1 and MAC, for layer 1 processing. Transport block set: This is defined as a set of transport blocks, which are exchanged between layer 1 and MAC at the same time instance using the same transport channel. Transport format: This is defined as a format offered by layer 1 to MAC (and the other way round) for the delivery of a transport block set during a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) on a transport channel. The transport format consists of two parts: dynamic part and semi-static part.
Attributes of the dynamic part are: Transport block size Number of transport blocks
Attributes of the semi-static part are: Transmission Time Interval Channel code type Coding rate Rate matching attribute CRC size
Transport format combination: This is defined as an authorized combination of currently valid transport formats that can be submitted simultaneously to layer 1 for transmission on a Coded Composite Transport Channel (CCTrCH) of a UE.
Figure 3-2 shows an example where transport block sets, at certain time instances, are exchanged between MAC and layer 1 through three parallel transport channels. Each transport block set consists of a number of transport blocks. The transmission time interval is the time between consecutive deliveries of data between MAC and layer 1, is illustrated.

3.2.2 HSPA Channel Transport Format

This describes transport formats of the HS-DSCH and E-DCH.
Overview of HSPA Channel Transport Format

HS-DSCH and E-DCH transport formats have the following distinctive features:
z
Only one transport block is sent during each TTI. The transport block size is determined by the resources available and the amount of data to be transmitted at each data transmission. The rate matching attribute is not included. The channel code type is fixed to Turbo, and the CRC size is 24 bits.
HS-DSCH Transport Format

For the HS-DSCH, the TTI is fixed to 2 ms. The MAC-hs entity in the NodeB maintains a series of Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) mapping tables which are based on the HSDPA UE categories. The CQI mapping table includes the following contents that correspond to the CQI value:
z z z z z z
Transport block size The number of HS-PDSCHs Modulation Reference power adjustment The number of soft channel bits available in the virtual IR buffer (NIR) Redundancy and constellation version parameter (XRV)
Issue 02 (2008-07-30)
3-21
The values in the CQI mapping table are obtained from emulation tests. The HS-DSCH chooses in real time the transport block size according to the CQI, the available power and channel code resources, and the amount of data to be transmitted. This scheme allows the transmission rate for the UE to be dynamically adjusted. Table 3-5 is a typical CQI mapping table.

E-DCH Transport Format

For E-DCH, the TTI can be set to 2 ms or 10 ms. RRC can configure the MAC-e to use one of two transport block size sets for each TTI duration. The normative description of the mapping between the E-TFCI and the corresponding transport block size is provided by Table 3-6, Table 3-7, Table 3-8 and Table 3-9(from the 3GPP TS 25.321). The transport block size used in each TTI is determined by:

3.3 Physical Channel

A physical channel is defined by a specific carrier frequency, scrambling code, channelization code (optional), time duration, and, in the uplink, relative phase (0 or /2). Time duration is defined by start time and stop time, measured in integer multiples of chips. Other multiples of chips used are as follows:
z z z
Radio frame: One radio frame consists of 15 slots, corresponding to 38,400 chips. Slot: A slot consists of bit fields. One slot corresponds to 2,560 chips. Subframe: A subframe is the basic time interval for transmission of HS-DSCH data and related signaling at the physical layer. One subframe consists of 3 slots, corresponding to 7,680 chips.
Transport channels are mapped onto physical channels. Within the physical layer, the exact mapping is from a Composite Coded Transport Channel (CCTrCH) to the data part of a physical channel. In addition to the data part, there are also the channel control part and physical signals. Physical signals are entities with the same basic air interface attributes as the physical channel but do not have transport channels or indicators mapped onto them. Physical signals, such as the PRACH preamble part, can be used to support the function of the physical channel. Table 3-10 describes the physical channels supported by Huawei.

3.3.1 Non-HSPA Physical Channels

This describes the concepts related to Non-HSPA physical channels. For more details, refer to 3GPP TS 25.211.
Dedicated Physical Channels (Uplink)

Dedicated uplink physical channels include uplink Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH) and uplink Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH). The uplink DPDCH is used to carry the DCH transport channel. There may be zero, one, or several uplink DPDCHs on each radio link. The uplink DPCCH is used to carry control information generated at layer 1. The information consists of known pilot bits to support channel estimation for coherent detection, transmit power-control (TPC) commands, Feedback Information (FBI), and an optional Transport Format Combination Indicator (TFCI). The TFCI informs the receiver of the instantaneous transport format combination of the transport channels mapped onto the simultaneously transmitted uplink DPDCH radio frame. There is one and only one uplink DPCCH on each radio link. Figure 3-3 shows the frame structure of the uplink DPDCH and the uplink DPCCH. Each 10 ms frame is split into 15 slots, corresponding to one power control period. The DPDCH and DPCCH are always frame aligned with each other.

3-31
Figure 3-3 Frame structure of the uplink DPDCH/DPCCH
The parameter k in Figure 3-3 determines the number of bits per uplink DPDCH slot. The SF of the DPDCH is equal to 256/2k. The DPDCH SF ranges from 256 down to 4. The SF of the uplink DPCCH is always equal to 256, that is, each uplink DPCCH slot has 10 bits.
Dedicated Physical Channels (Downlink)

Dedicated data and control information are transmitted on the downlink DPCH in TDM mode. Dedicated data is generated at layer 2 or higher layers, and control information is generated at layer 1. Therefore, the downlink DPCH can be regarded as a combination of downlink DPDCH and downlink DPCCH in TDM mode. Figure 3-4 shows the frame structure of the downlink DPCH. Each 10 ms frame is split into 15 slots, corresponding to one power control period. Figure 3-4 Frame structure of the downlink DPCH
The parameter k in Figure 3-4 determines the total number of bits per downlink DPCH slot. The SF of the physical channel is equal to 512/2k. The SF ranges from 512 down to 4.

The exact number of bits in different downlink DPCH fields (NPilot, NTPC, NTFCI, Ndata1 and Ndata2) corresponds to a specific slot format. The slot format to be used is configured by higher layers and can be reconfigured also by higher layers.
Fractional Dedicated Physical Channels

Within one F-DPCH, there is no dedicated data, and the control information is only the TPC command that is generated at layer 1, without pilot bits or TFCI. Figure 3-5 shows the frame structure of the F-DPCH. Each 10 ms frame is split into 15 slots, corresponding to one power control period. One UE uses only a tenth of a slot.

HS-PDSCH
One High Speed Physical Downlink Shared Channel (HS-PDSCH) corresponds to one of the channelization codes reserved for HS-DSCH transmission. The SF of the HS-PDSCH is 16. Multi-code transmission is allowed. That is, multiple channelization codes can be assigned to a UE in the same HS-PDSCH subframe according to the capacity of the UE. Figure 3-7 shows the subframe structure of the HS-PDSCH. Figure 3-7 Subframe structure of the HS-PDSCH
An HS-PDSCH may use QPSK or 16QAM modulation symbols. In Figure 3-7, M represents the number of bits per modulation symbol, that is, M = 2 for QPSK and M = 4 for 16QAM.

Figure 3-8 shows the frame structure of the High Speed Dedicated Physical Control Channel (HS-DPCCH). The HS-DPCCH carries uplink feedback signaling related to downlink HS-DSCH transmission. The HS-DSCH related feedback signaling consists of Hybrid ARQ Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) and Channel Quality Indication (CQI). Each 2 ms subframe consists of 3 slots and each slot has 2,560 chips. The HARQ-ACK is carried in the first slot of the HS-DPCCH subframe. The CQI is carried in the second and third slots of the HS-DPCCH subframe. There is at most one HS-DPCCH on each radio link. The HS-DPCCH can exist only together with an uplink DPCCH.

Figure 3-8 Frame structure of the uplink HS-DPCCH
The HS-DPCCH has a fixed rate of 15 kbit/s. The SF of the HS-DPCCH is 256. That is, there are 10 bits per uplink HS-DPCCH slot.
3.3.3 HSUPA Physical Channels

This describes HSUPA physical channels. For more details, refer to 3GPP TS 25.211.
E-DPCCH
The E-DCH Dedicated Physical Control Channel (E-DPCCH) carries the control information associated with the E-DCH. Each radio link has at most one E-DPCCH. The SF of the E-DPCCH is 256. Figure 3-9 shows the frame structure of the E-DPCCH. Figure 3-9 Frame structure of the E-DPCCH
E-DPDCH
The E-DCH Dedicated Physical Data Channel (E-DPDCH) carries the data associated with the E-DCH. There may be zero, one, or several E-DPDCHs on each radio link. The SF of the E-DPDCH ranges from 2 to 256.
3-36 Huawei Proprietary and Confidential Copyright Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd Issue 02 (2008-07-30)
RAN10.0 provides a maximum of four E-DPDCHs with two SF4 and two SF2.
Figure 3-10 shows the frame structure of the E-DPDCH. Figure 3-10 Frame structure of the E-DPDCH
The E-DPDCH and the E-DPCCH are always transmitted simultaneously, except when the E-DPDCH rather than the E-DPCCH is discontinuously transmitted because of power scaling as described in 3GPP TS 25.214.
E-AGCH
The E-DCH Absolute Grant Channel (E-AGCH) is a downlink physical channel carrying the uplink E-DCH absolute grant (AG). The E-AGCH has a fixed rate of 30 kbit/s. The SF of the E-AGCH is 256. The E-AGCH is a shared channel for all HSUPA UEs in the serving E-DCH cell. Figure 3-11 shows the frame structure of the E-AGCH. Figure 3-11 Frame structure of the E-AGCH
An E-DCH AG should be carried by one E-AGCH subframe or one E-AGCH frame, depending on whether the E-DCH TTI is 2 ms or 10 ms.

E-RGCH
The E-DCH Relative Grant Channel (E-RGCH) is a dedicated downlink physical channel carrying the uplink E-DCH relative grants (RGs). The E-RGCH has a fixed rate of 60 kbit/s. The SF of the E-RGCH is 128. Figure 3-12 shows the frame structure of the E-RGCH. Figure 3-12 Frame structure of the E-RGCH
An RG is transmitted in 3, 12, or 15 consecutive slots. Each slot carries a sequence of 40 binary values.
z z
If the cell transmitting the E-RGCH is in the serving E-DCH Radio Link Set (RLS), then 3 or 12 slots are used, depending on whether the E-DCH TTI is 2 ms or 10 ms. If the cell transmitting the E-RGCH is not in the serving E-DCH RLS, 15 slots are used.
E-HICH
The E-DCH Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel (E-HICH) is a dedicated downlink physical channel carrying the uplink E-DCH hybrid ARQ (HARQ) acknowledgement indicator. The E-HICH has a fixed rate of 60 kbit/s. The SF of the E-HICH is 128. The frame structure of the E-HICH is the same as that of the E-RGCH, as shown in Figure 3-12. An HARQ acknowledgement indicator is transmitted in 3 or 12 consecutive slots and in each slot a sequence of 40 binary values is transmitted as follows:
z z
3 slots are used for UEs with 2 ms E-DCH TTI. 12 slots are used for UEs with 10 ms E-DCH TTI.
3.4 Channel Mapping

This describes channel mapping from the following aspects: channel mapping rules, typical common channel configuration, and typical dedicated channel configuration.
3.4.1 Channel Mapping Rules

The rules for channel mapping are as follows:
3-38
Issue 02 (2008-07-30)

z z z z
Logical channels are mapped onto transport channels. Transport channels are mapped onto physical channels. The mapping between some transport channels and logical channels are not fixed. One transport channel can be mapped onto only one physical channel.
Figure 3-13 shows the mapping between the channels defined by protocols. Figure 3-13 Channel mapping (seen from UTRAN side)
In Figure 3-13, the blue arrows denote the uplink data transmission, and the black arrows denote the downlink data transmission.
3.4.2 Typical Common Channel Configuration

Among all the common channels, the S-CCPCH and PRACH are used for data transfer. The recommended configurations of the two types of channel are as follows:
Default Configuration of S-CCPCH

A cell must be configured with the PCH and the FACH. By Huawei, a cell is by default configured with one S-CCPCH. The S-CCPCH carries one PCH, one FACH #0 that carries signaling, and one FACH #1 that carries service data. Table 3-13 describes the S-CCPCH channel mapping.

Default Configuration of PRACH

One PRACH can carry only one RACH that carries all uplink signaling and service data. Table 3-14 describes the PRACH channel mapping. Table 3-14 PRACH channel mapping Message Signaling Radio Bearer SRB0 SRB1, SRB2, SRB3, SRB4 Service data TRB Logical Channel CCCH DCCH DTCH RACH PRACH Transport Channel Physical Channel

3.4.3 Typical Dedicated Channel Configuration

For dedicated channels, the radio bearers that carry signaling and the radio bearers that carry service data are separately mapped to different transport channels. Table 3-15 describes the DPCH channel mapping.
