This section defines the W-CDMA/HSPA+ DPCCH/DPDCH's buttons. The Restore Default Settings button is available in all of the W-CDMA/HSPA+ Uplink (DPCCH/DPDCH) > Channel's tree nodes.

Restores all of the W-CDMA/HSPA+ channel's parameters to their default conditions.

1. General Settings

HSUPA State

Choice: Off | On

Default: Off

Enables or disables the HSUPA state. This field controls the state of E-DPDCH and E-DPCCH.

TTI

Choice: 2 | 10 (ms)

Default: 10 ms

Sets the transmission time interval (TTI) of HSUPA in ms.

HARQ Mode

Choice: None | IR (Incremental Redundancy) | CC (Chase Combining)

Default: None

Sets the HARQ mode. This field controls signaling pattern of HARQ.

Retransmission Sequence Number

Range: 0 to 3

Default: 0

Set Retransmission Sequence Number (RSN). This field is enabled when HARQ mode is set to None.

RV Index

Range: 0 to 3

Default: 0

Sets the Redundancy Version (RV) Index. This field is enabled when HARQ Mode is None.

Maximum Number of Retransmission

Range: 0 to 15

Default: 15

Sets the maximum number of HARQ retransmission. This field is disabled when HARQ mode is None.

HARQ ACK/NACK Pattern

Choice: ACK All | Custom Pattern| User Data | External

Default: ACK All

Sets HARQ ACK/NACK Pattern. This field is disabled when the HARQ mode is set to "None".

Where User File is selected, the data file must be the binary format and specify the bit length.

HARQ ACK/NACK Pattern Delay for External

Range: 0 to 115200 (TTI = 10ms), 0 to 53760 (TTI = 2ms)

Default: 7680, Resolution: 256

Sets the delay of the external trigger for the HARQ ACK/NACK Pattern.

TFC E-TFCI Pattern

Choice: Main All | External| Custom Pattern | User Data

Default: Main All

Sets the data pattern of TFC E-TFCI.

Where User File is selected, the data file must be the binary format and specify the bit length.

TFC E-TFCI Pattern Delay for External

Range: 0 to 115200 (TTI = 10ms), 0 to 53760 (TTI = 2ms)

Default: 7680, Resolution: 256

Sets the delay of the external trigger for the TFC E-TFCI Pattern.

E-TFCI Table Selection (Main)

Choice: 0 | 1

Default: 1

Sets the table number of E-DCH Transport Block Size Table for the main setting.

E-TFCI Table Selection (Alternate)

Choice: 0 | 1

Default: 1

Sets the table number of E-DCH Transport Block Size Table for the alternate setting. This field is disabled when TFC E-TFCI Pattern is "Main All".

E-TFC Index (Main)

Range: 0 to 127 (TTI = 2ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 0)

Range: 0 to 125 (TTI = 2ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 1)

Range: 0 to 127 (TTI = 10ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 0

Range: 0 to 120 (TTI = 10ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 1)

Default: 41

Sets E-TFCI Index for the main setting.

E-TFC Index (Alternate)

Range: 0 to 127 (TTI = 2ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 0)

Range: 0 to 125 (TTI = 2ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 1)

Range: 0 to 127 (TTI = 10ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 0

Range: 0 to 120 (TTI = 10ms, E-TFCI Table Selection = 1)

Default: 41

Sets E-TFCI Index for the alternate setting. This field is disabled when the TFC E-TFCI Pattern is "Main All".

Happy Bit

Choice: Happy | Not Happy | Custom Pattern | User Data

Default: Happy

Sets the Happy Bit pattern.

Where User File is selected, the data file must be in binary format and specify the bit length.

Clicking Custom Pattern opens an Closedextended Happy Bit window (i.e. for setting: Length, Fill Pattern, Start Index, Fill Length, Interval, Value, ...).

HSUPA DTX Control Mode

Choice: Process | Custom Pattern | User Data

Default: Process

Sets the HSUPA DTX control mode.

Where User File is selected, the data file must be in binary format and specify the bit length.

"Custom Pattern" and "User File" selections are available when the HSUPA HARQ is set to "None" and the HSUPA TFC E-TFCI Pattern is set to "Main All".

E-DCH Data Block Size

Range: 18 to 20000

Indicate the block size of HSUPA transport channel (E-DCH). This item is called "Information Bit Payload (N-INF)" in TS 25.141.
