Instant Online Access and 6-Month eLearning License Included UMTS networks are being rapidly deployed in many parts of the world to support 3G voice and packet data services. As the UMTS subscriber base continues to grow, operators want to support next generation packet data services that require very high data rates. To compete with other technologies such as 1xEV-DO, the UMTS standards group has defined High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) as part of the UMTS (Release 6) standards. This course provides an overview of HSUPA technology. It describes the key concepts used in the wireless environment to support high data rates, and examines how these concepts are applied within the HSUPA standards. In addition, it discusses the impact of HSUPA support on the UMTS network architecture by highlighting key changes at different nodes. HSUPA specific channels are introduced followed by a detailed discussion of the HSUPA physical layer operations.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Describe HSUPA at a high level • Define important features of HSUPA including peak data rates, new channels and architectural changes • Discuss the key concepts used in HSUPA to achieve high packet data rates over the air • Analyze the steps taken in HSUPA physical layer operations to support high speed packet data • Explain the role of the scheduler in HSUPA • Walk through an end-to-end HSUPA call flow
Intended Audience
This course is intended for those seeking an understanding of HSUPA technology and how it supports high speed packet data. This includes those in product management, design, test, systems engineering, sales engineering, network engineering, RF deployment engineering, and field engineering and operations roles.
Suggested Prerequisites
