Abstract

3GPP has specified that terminals can be configured to use either 2 or 10 ms transmission time interval in high speed uplink packet access systems. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the benefit of exploiting a mixture of both of the transmissions time intervals within a cell instead of only one. The study is quantified by means of studying the achievable coverage of voice over IP and possible battery saving benefits. The analysis is conducted with a system level simulator modeling network and terminal behavior in detail. The paper indicates that utilizing a mixture of both transmission time intervals can extend coverage whilst providing enhanced battery saving opportunities.
