HS-PDSCH is a downlink physical channel that carries user data and layer 2 overhead bits mapped from the

transport
channel: HS-DSCH.
The user data and layer 2 overhead bits from HS-DSCH is mapped onto one or several HS-PDSCH and transferred in
2ms sub frame using one or several channelization code with fixed SF=16.

Carries physical layer signaling to a single UE, such as modulation scheme (1 bit), channelization code set (7 bit),
transport block size (6bit), HARQ process number (3bit), redundancy version (3bit), new data indicator (1bit), UE
identity (16bit) HS-SCCH is a fixed rate (60 kbps, SF=128) downlink physical channel used to carry downlink
signaling related to HS-DSCH transmission
HS-SCCH High-Speed Shared Control Channel is an added channel to UMTS to increase downlink data rates. This is
defined in Release 5 of the UMTS specifications. It is also part of the HSDPA.
