1 Scope Word‑p. 6
WCDMA currently serves as the dominant mobile broadband technique. The number of connections for WCDMA users and the average user date rate have continued to increase in the past years and will further increase in the coming years, which requires WCDMA to evolve further from both uplink and downlink perspective.

4 Objectives of the Downlink enhancements for UMTS Study
The objectives of this study are ([2]):
- Investigate mechanisms to enhance DL control channel performance, for example: (RAN1)
- Repeat DL TPC commands in a number of consecutive slots to allow soft combining at the UE in order to reduce DL TPC transmit power.
- Investigate mechanisms to enhance downlink signaling performance on overhead and latency, especially for the case of RRC state transition and parameter updating. (RAN2)
- Investigate mechanisms to enhance SRB coverage over HSPA.(RAN2)
