Performance aspects of WCDMA systems with high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA)

Abstract
In this paper, we consider the link and network layer performance aspects of a WCDMA/UTRA system with high speed downlink packet access. The study considers packet scheduling and the tradeoff among user fairness and cell throughput. We show performance numbers for different network setups and study the applicability of proportional scheduling methods. Even with conservative system and traffic settings, the best effort methods produce high user data rates and cell throughput.
