Solution Overview

Problem

Current High Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) technologies, based on CDMA, face limitations in meeting increasing demands for broader transmission bandwidth and higher speeds due to multi-path interference, and are unable to effectively support 64QAM, which is necessary for improved spectral efficiency and peak rates.

Innovation Solution

The method involves segmenting the physical channel into multiple sequences, interleaving them using specific interleaver sizes, and implementing constellation rearrangement to enhance the reliability of bit sequences, allowing for the use of 64QAM in HS-DSCH coding and multiplexing, thereby improving transmission performance.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The physical channel bit sequence is segmented into multiple sequences (e.g., 2 or 3 sequences), with each sequence processed by separate interleavers. This segmentation allows the system to handle 64QAM modulation more effectively by distributing bits across multiple interleaved sequences, thereby improving spectral efficiency and transmission speed while mitigating multi-path interference through diversified bit placement patterns

If 64QAM is implemented in HS-DSCH, then spectral efficiency and peak rates are improved, but the existing coding and multiplexing framework cannot support it

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral efficiencyVSAvoidcoding and multiplexing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bit sequence for 64QAM is divided into multiple sequences, with each sequence processed by dedicated interleavers of specific sizes (e.g., 32×30 or 48×30). This segmentation enables 64QAM support by organizing the 6 bits per symbol into manageable groups that can be independently interleaved and protected, making high-order modulation compatible with the existing HSDPA framework

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different interleaving schemes are applied to different bit sequences within the same channel, with specific interleaver sizes (32×30 or 48×30) selected based on the sequence position and content. This local differentiation optimizes the protection and arrangement of bits for 64QAM while maintaining compatibility with existing system constraints

Inventive Principle:

If bit sequences are segmented and interleaved with constellation rearrangement, then transmission reliability is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bit sequence is divided into multiple sequences that are independently interleaved using standardized interleaver dimensions (32×30 or 48×30). This segmentation improves reliability by ensuring that burst errors affect only limited portions of each sequence, while the modular structure keeps processing complexity manageable through reuse of existing interleaver implementations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interleaver dimensions are changed to specific values (32×30 or 48×30) that are optimized for 64QAM performance. These parameter changes improve bit sequence reliability by creating optimal error distribution patterns, while the standardized nature of these parameters allows efficient implementation without excessive complexity increase
