Instant Online Access and 6-Month eLearning License Included UMTS is a 3G cellular technology that is being deployed around the globe to support voice and packet data services. The air interface of the first release of UMTS (i.e., Release 99) is enhanced by the HSDPA feature of Release 5 and the HSUPA feature of Release 6. Release 7 enhances the UMTS air interface even further to achieve high peak data rates such as 21 or 28 Mbps in the downlink and 11 Mbps in the uplink. This course provides an overview of the major enhancements to HSPA (R6) that lead to high peak data rates and lower latency provided in HSPA+. Examples of the topics covered include architecture enhancements, High Order Modulation (HOM), MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), CPC (Continuous Packet Connectivity), and radio channel enhancements. The call setup in HSPA+ is illustrated, and both downlink data transmission and uplink data transmission are discussed.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • List key features, benefits and limitations of HSPA+ • Sketch the architectural enhancements in HSPA+ • Discuss the key concepts in HSPA+ to achieve high packet data rates in the downlink and the uplink • Describe CPC (Continuous Packet Connectivity) • Summarize the radio channel enhancements • Walk through an end-to-end HSPA+ call flow
Intended Audience
This course is intended for those seeking an understanding of HSUPA+ technology and how it enhances downlink and uplink data transfer. 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
• UMTS/WCDMA Air Interface Fundamentals (eLearning) • HSDPA (R5) (eLearning) • HSUPA (R6) (eLearning)
