Note: The HS-DSCH shall be transmitted continuously with constant power but only every third TTI shall be allocated to the UE under test. The values in the table defines H-Set 1. H-Set 1A for DC-HSDPA and DB-DC-HSDPA is formed by applying H-Set 1 to each of the carriers available in DC-HSDPA and DB-DC-HSDPA mode. H-Set 1B and H-Set 1C for 4C-HSDPA are formed by applying H-Set 1 to each of the carriers available in 4C-HSDPA mode (3 carriers for H-Set 1B and 4 carriers for H-Set 1C). H-Set 1E for 8C-HSDPA is formed by applying H-Set 1 to each of the carriers available in 8C-HSDPA mode. |
