NOTE 1: The HS-PDSCH TFRC should be selected to enable all test data on DTCH on HS-DSCH to be transmitted in one TTI, i.e. such that the MAC-hs transport block size is bigger than the maximum MAC-d PDU size under test + MAC-hs header size (21 bits). See 18.2.7.1.1 (MAC-d PDU size=336) for recommended TFRC values for different transport block size.
