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 grows, operators are looking 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 Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) as part of the UMTS (Release 5) standards. This course provides an overview of the HSDPA R5 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 HSDPA R5 standards. HSDPA R5 specific channels are introduced followed by a detailed discussion of the HSDPA physical layer operations. A discussion of UMTS and HSDPA R5 interworking is also presented. The course concludes with an end-to-end HSDPA R5 call flow.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Describe HSDPA R5 at a high level • Define important features of HSDPA R5 including peak data rates, new channels and architectural changes • Discuss the key concepts used in HSDPA R5 to achieve high packet data rates over the air • Analyze the steps taken in HSDPA R5 physical layer operations to support high speed packet data • Describe the role of the scheduler in HSDPA R5 • Explain how HSDPA R5 achieves data rates over 10Mbps • Discuss cell switching operation on the traffic channel • Walk though an end-to end HSDPA R5 call flow
Intended Audience
This course is intended for those seeking an understanding of HSDPA R5 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.
