Solution Overview

Problem

The existing High Speed Downlink Shared Channel (HS-DSCH) technology, based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), faces challenges in meeting increasing demands for broader transmission bandwidth and higher speeds due to limitations in multi-path interference, and cannot effectively support higher-order modulations like 64QAM.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves a method and system for coding and multiplexing in HS-DSCH that allows for 64QAM by rearranging data in a memory space as 6 rows for HARQ bit combination, using specific Redundancy Version parameters, and dividing bit sequences for interleaving through interleavers, along with constellation rearrangement to balance bit reliability and improve transmission quality.
