Description
Written from an operator’s viewpoint, HSPAPerformance and Evolution explores the lessons learnedand techniques developed for optimally deploying HSPA (High SpeedPacket Access). The essential distinctions between rolling out HSPAcompared to earlier UMTS and GSM technologies are explainedcovering the many issues that must be specifically handled. Areasin standards which have been left open for interpretation, causingsignificant differences between vendor implementations, areidentified and solutions explored.
This book is invaluable in enabling wireless operators toextract maximum performance offered by 3GPP’s HSPA radiotechnology, consisting of both downlink (HSDPA) and uplink (HSUPA)elements. It focuses on real-world performance, sharing practicalimplementation methods and tradeoffs for deploying, optimizing andmaintaining networks using the HSPA air interface.
Examines algorithms, equipment and performance perspectives toidentify and explain HSPA
Measures performance and sets network parameters for optimaltradeoffs
Presents results from practical and real-world networkperformances
Explores the evolution of HSPA technology into HSPA+ andeventually next generation LTE technologies
