    ENHANCED SUPPORT of EGPRS IN UPLINKIntroduction

    This feature is part of EGPRS package. It is divided intotwo sub features:

    Support of 8-PSK in Uplink

    The "8-PSK in UL" feature proposes to introduce the 8-PSK modulation in

    UL, which permits to use the MCS-5 to MCS-9 coding schemes in the BSS(in B8 only the MCS-1 to MCS-4 are supported in UL).

    Support of Incremental Redundancy in Uplink

    The "Incremental Redundancy in UL" feature proposes to introduce theincremental redundancy in UL which permits to improve the decodingperformances of the BTS with EGPRS. This is particularly useful when

    mobiles are at the border of the cells where a gain up to 15 % ofthroughput can be expected according to simulations.

    ENHANCED SUPPORT of EGPRS IN UPLINK8-PSK in Uplink feature

    The feature introduces 8-PSK modulation supported in UL.

    Maximum data rate for difference coding scheme

    The 8-PSK is a modulation technique that compare to GMSK allows up to3 times more data to be transmitted over the GSM air interface. The 8-

    PSK supports MCS-5 to MCS-9 coding schemes, which permit to achievehigher throughput when the radio conditions are good enough.

    Alternative training sequences decoding

    If an EGPRS mobile station wants to initiate the UL EGPRS TBFestablishment and if the mobile supports the 8PSK in uplink, then it shallsend an EGPRS Packet Channel Request using TS1 alternative trainingsequences to request the resources in EGPRS mode.

    The EGPRS capability is indicated using alternative training sequences(see 3GPP TS 45.002).

    The MCS-5 to MCS-9 coding schemes will be used in RLCacknowledged and unacknowledged mode.Support 8-PSK in RLC acknowledged & unacknowledged mode

    The link adaptation mechanism in uplink is based on measurements(MEAN_BEP, CV_BEP) done by the BTS on the radio blocks received

    from the mobile. To take into account MCS-5 to MCS-9 in uplink, the BSS algorithm for link

    adaptation needs new link adaptation MEAN_BEP/CV_BEP tables, whichare the same as the ones already used for downlink.

    The MCS selected by the BSS is indicated in the "EGPRS modulation andcoding" IE included in the PACKET UPLINK ACK/NACK message.

    The TRX shall transmit the MEAN_BEP and CV_BEP of the RLC datablock which is received with a correctly decoded RLC/MAC header,whether the payload is correctly decoded or not. The TRX will discard theRLC/MAC blocks when the header has not been successfully decoded.

    MCS selected forretransmission block The retransmission of the RLC data blocks

    that have not been correctly decoded, theBSS has the possibility to request theretransmission of these RLC data blocks

    with or without re-segmentation. The"RESEGMENT" bit in the PACKETUPLINK ACK/NACK, PACKET UPLINKASSIGNMENT and PACKET TIMESLOTRECONFIGURE messages indicates if re-segmentation should be used or not.

    When the type I ARQ is used, the"RESEGMENT" bit shall be set to "1". Forretransmission the mobile shall use an

    MCS within the same family as the initialtransmission and the payload may be split.

    The table indicates the MCS that shouldbe selected for retransmission accordingto the MCS, used for initial transmission.

    The LA tables considered depend on:

    The APD (Average Power Decrease) of the mobile station

    The APD of a mobile station is the difference between the maximum output powerin GMSK and the maximum output power in 8-PSK.

    The maximum output powers are known by "GMSK Power Class" and "8-PSKPower Class" fields of the MS Radio Access capability IE.

    Examples of APD in case of GSM 900 and GSM 850:

    The IR is activated or not (EN_IR_UL flag).

    ENHANCED SUPPORT of EGPRS IN UPLINKIncremental Redundancy in Uplink feature

    The incremental redundancy (type II hybrid ARQ) is usedwith EGPRS data blocks sent on RLC acknowledgedmode using MCS-1 to MCS-9.

    Support of Incremental Redundancy in Uplink

    The incremental redundancy is based on reception of RLC data blockscoded with different puncturing schemes, so that the BTS may enhancethe decoding of the RLC data block with soft combining. By taking intoaccount the erroneous RLC data blocks and combining them with theretransmitted RLC data blocks, the BTS receiver increases the probabilityof decoding them correctly and reduces the number of times it uses aslower coding scheme compared to the situation where incremental

    redundancy is not used and therefore the average throughput isincreased.

    Interaction with re-segmentation on UL

    As for DL, incremental redundancy cannot be applied when the RLCdatablocks are re-segmented with a different number of payloads.

    IR is configured in the MFS by parameter EN_IR_UL.

    When EN_IR_UL = Enable, the MFS shall:

    Use incremental redundancy with all MSs.

    Give the [TFI, RTS] combinations, used by TBF, to the TRX.

    Remark: The Incremental Redundancy for the uplink TBF feature issupported only on G4 BTSs.

    When EN_RESEGMENTATION_UL = Enable, the MFS shall:

    Set 1 (re-segmentation) to RESEGMENT bit in the PACKET UPLINKACK/NACK, PACKET UPLINK ASSIGNMENT and PACKET TIMESLOTRECONFIGURE messages.

    To implement the IR with EGPRS, the TRX shall be able to retrievethe RLC data blocks pertaining to the same TBF, received on one orseveral PDCHs.

    The TRX needs to decode the RLC/MAC header of all UL RLC/MAC datablocks received on each PDCHs to know which TBF the RLC data block(s)

    pertain. The TFI in the RLC/MAC header and the time slot number permit to

    identify the TBF.

    The BSN in the RLC/MAC header permits to identify a specific RLC datablock.

    For each TBF, the maximum number of different RLC data blocks stored,

    is equal to the window size which depends on the maximum number ofRTS used in uplink (512 for 4 TS).

    TBF list

    A TBF listis a two dimension [TFI, RTS] table indexed by TFI and RTS. The TFIindex size is the number of the possible TFIs, 32. The RTS index size is the numberof the possible radio time slots, 8. A [TFI, RTS] index contains a pointer, point to theBSN listused by the TBF. A [TFI, RTS] index, which is not used, is marked as "NOTUSED", NULL.

    A [BSN, PS] index contains information concerning the soft bits of RLC data block,received with the values of BSN and PS if RLC data block has not been correctlydecoded. A [BSN, PS] index contains a pointer, point to the buffer where the softbits of the corresponding RLC data block are stored. A [BSN, PS] index which is not

    used is marked as "NOT USED", NULL. SB buffer

    The SB buffercontains the soft bits of the RLC data blocks which have not beencorrectly decoded. This buffer has the capacity to store the soft bits of up to 4000RLC data blocks.

    Management of incremental redundancy in UL at the TRX

    When the TFI, the BSN and the CPS (gives the PS value) fields, included in theheader of a RLC data block received on a given RTS, have been decoded but thepayload of the RLC data block cannot be decoded. The TRX will check:

    ifone or more RLC data blocks are stored for the three possible [BSN, PSx]combinations in the BSN list.

    Then the soft bits of the received RLC data blocks are combined with the soft bitsof the stored RLC data blocks. Ifafter the combination, the CRC of the payload of the RLC data block is valid,

    then the RLC data block is sent to the MFS and the pointers in the [BSN, PSx]combinations in the BSN list are set to NULL.

    Ifafter the combination, the CRC of the payload of the RLC data block is stillinvalid, then:

    1. The soft bits of the RLC data block are stored in the circular buffer

    2. The pointer in the [BSN, PS] combination in the BSN list is updated, point to

    the address where the soft bits of the RLC data block are stored.3. If the soft bits of another instance of the same RLC data block received with

    the same puncturing scheme was already present in the BSN list, only the lastinstance is taken into account.

    Management of incremental redundancy in UL at the MFS

    The MFS is in charge of opening and closing the UL TBFs contexts in the TRX.The active TBFs context on a TRX are numbered from 0 to 55.

    The MFS have a TBF table with 56 entries. The index of the table is associatedwith the TBF number. The index which are not used are marked as FREE and theindex which are used for a TBF contains the parameters [TFI, RTSs] of the TBF.

    When a UL TBF is allocated, the MFS selects an index marked as FREE in theTBF table. The value of the index is the TBF number that should be provided tothe TRX.

    When a UL TBF is de-allocated the MFS marks the corresponding index of theTBF table as FREE.
