This paper focuses on the scheduling problem with the objective of maximizing system throughput, while guaranteeing long-term quality of service (QoS) constraints for non-realtime data users and short-term QoS constraints for realtime multimedia users in multiclass service high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) systems. After studying the feasible rate region for multiclass service HSUPA systems, we formulate this scheduling problem and propose a multi-constraints HSUPA opportunistic scheduling (MHOS) algorithm to solve this problem. The MHOS algorithm selects the optimal subset of users for transmission at each time slot to maximize system throughput, while guaranteeing the different constraints. The selection is made according to channel condition, feasible rate region, and user weights, which are adjusted by stochastic approximation algorithms to guarantee the different QoS constraints at different time scales. Simulation results show that the proposed MHOS algorithm guarantees QoS constraints, and achieves high system throughput.

High Speed Uplink Packet Access(HSUPA) is a WCDMA Release 6 technology which corresponds to High Speed Downlink Packet Access(HSDPA). Node B Supports fast scheduling, Hybrid ARQ(HARQ), short Transmission Time Interval(TTI) for high rate uplink packet data. It is very important to detect Iub congestion to improve end user's Quality of Service(QoS). This paper proposes Node B Congestion Detection(BCD) mechanism and suggests to use the hybrid of Transport Network Layer(TNL) congestion detection and BCD. It is shown that HSUPA user throughput performance can be improved by the proposed method even with small Iub bandwidth.

HSPA는 HSDPA 및 HSUPA를 통합하여 일컫는 3GPP 기술로 하향 링크에서는 HSDPA를 상향 링크에서는 HSUPA를 사용하여 기존 DCH만을 사용하는 3GPP Release 99 시스템 대비 더 효율적인 고속 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하는 기술이다. HSDPA는 3GPP Release 5 기술로서 2002년 3월 첫 표준이 승인되었으며 단말의 무선 환경에 따라 변조 및 코딩기법을 변화시키는 AMC, 물리 계층을 통해 빠른 재전송을 지원하는 HARQ,단축된 2ms TTI 그리고 Node-B 기반의 고속 스케줄링을 통해 무선망 성능을 획기적으로 향상시켜 하향 링크에서 최대 14.4Mbps를 제공한다. HSUPA는 3GPP Release 6 기술로서 2004년 6월 첫 표준이 승인되었으며 HSDPA에 도입한 기술들 중에서 AMC를 제외한 모든 기술을 적용하여 상향 링크에서 최대 5.76Mbps를 제공한다. HSPA Evolution(eHSPA 또는 HSPA+)은 HSPA의 성능 개선을 통해 3GPP Release 8 기술인 LTE로의 자연스러운 진화를 보장하기 위한 3GPP Release 7 기술로 2006년 3월 TSG RAN #31 회의에서 승인되었다. 본 고에서는 최근 표준화가 활발히 진행되고 있는 HSPA Evolution에서 최근까지 승인된 각 계층별 요소 기술에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

As a demand for high speed uplink packet services increases, the WCDMA enhanced uplink, also known as high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), has been specified in release 6 by 3GPP. This HSUPA will provide various types of multimedia services, such as real-time video streaming, gaming, VoIP, and FTP. Generally, the performance of HSUPA is dominated by scheduling policy. Therefore, it is required to design a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to provide QoS guaranteed services in various traffic environments. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to guarantee QoS in a mixed traffic environment. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is evaluated in terms of average packet delay, packet delay jitter, and system throughput using a system level simulator.

Recently, the huge growth of mobile data traffic has driven the earlier commercialization of LTE network and the evolution of LTE-Adv has been accelerated because of this trend of mobile traffic surges. Thus it has enabled the global connectivity and roaming capability due to continual standardization activities. The 3rd generation mobile communication system has been improved through incorporating technologies of HSDPA, MBMS and HSUPA etc continuously. Also, OFDMA/SC-FDMA-based LTE standardization has been under way. In this paper, the architectures of LTE network and protocol have been introduced and their inherent operation mechanisms have also been explored in order to give some insights about the LTE/LTE-Adv networks while their architectures are considered as most prominent candidate for worldwide standard by ITU-R and mobile operators for international communication networks.

IMT-2000 service started around year of 2000 to support global roaming with high speed data rate. But 3GPP and 3GPP2 could not narrow gaps between them to make separate specification. To make it worse, economy regression delayed deployment. Starting 2007, WCDMA, standardized in 3GPP, was launched in Korea by KT and SKT. 3GPP introduced HSDPA and HSUPA as an enabler for high speed down and uplink packet service, in release5 and release5, respectively.

3GPP는 WCDMA의 3세대 이동통신 표준화 이후 HSDPA, MBMS, HSUPA 등의 기술을 지속적으로 추가하여 3세대 이동통신 시스템을 개량해 왔다. 또한 2005년부터는 OFDMA/SC-FDMA 전송방식을 기반으로 하는 LTE 표준화를 진행해 왔다. 현재는 ITU-R의 IMT-Advanced 표준을 위해 LTE를 개선한 LTE-Advanced를 준비하고 있다.

KT will deploy HSPA+/CCC network in this year to handle data explosion. CCC is an evolutionary wireless network architecture which divides a node B into baseband and radio part. By collecting baseband units in a digital unit central station and installing only remote units on desired sites, the operator can reduce the total cost of ownership and $CO_2$ emission. In this paper, we describe some expected problems in deploying HSPA+/CCC network, and how to implement the wireless network planning system to solve them effectively.

HSPA(High Speed Packet Access)/HSPA+ is a combined 3GPP(Third Generation Partnership Project) standard of HSDPA(High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA(High Speed Uplink Packet Access). The standard can provide the high speed multimedia service against the 3GPP release 99 standard. In order to test the 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ terminal performance, the measurement hardware is required for the evaluate the transmitted signal of HSPA/HSPA+ terminals. Agilent Technologies and Innowireless produce the measurement equipments for HSPA/HSPA+ terminals. Generally speaking, the receiving algorithms in normal modems cannot be used directly to the measurement system due to the lack of the algorithm accuracy. In this paper, we propose the new receiver algorithm for precise measurement of 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ terminal signal, and implement measurement functionality for performance measurement of the 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ terminal by using software. The proposed 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ signal measurement algorithm can be used for the commercial system through code execution speed optimization.
