Conclusions
Beyond 3G HSPA
With the elements of 3G HSPA launched, further evolutions were
in the pipeline. The first of these was known as HSPA+ or
Evolved HSPA. The evolved HSPA or HSPA+ provides data rates
up to 42 Mbps in the downlink and 11 Mbps in the uplink (per
5MHz carrier) which it achieves by using high order modulation
and MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technologies.

What is CQI?
What does link adaptation do?
Which entity initiates RLC re-transmissions?
Which entity initiates HARQ re-transmissions?
d
priority ,
r
where instantaneous data rate, d, is obtained by consulting the
link adaptation algorithm and average throughput, r, of the user is
defined and/or updated as follows

(*)Dedicated channel means that each UE has its own data path to the Node B that is
continuous and independent from the DCHs and E-DCHs of other UEs

(*)ratio between the total power received from all of the UEs at the base station and
the thermal noise
Scheduled transmissions
The scheduler measures the noise level and decides whether
Additional traffic can be allocated
Should some users have smaller data rates
The scheduler also monitors the uplink feedback
Transmitted on E-DPCCH in every TTI
Referred as happy bits
Tells which users could transmit at a higher data rate both from the
buffer status and the transmission power availability point of view

Benefits
Connected inactive HSPA users need less resources and create
less interference => more users can be connected
UE power savings => increased talk time (VoIP)
UTRAN resources are saved
