It takes the reader behind the scenes of 3GPP and provides an easily accessible understanding of the basic principles, the latest steps in the standard’s evolution, and the motivations behind the development of standardized features. It covers important topics such as smartphone related features, multi-carrier and multi-antenna operation, interface architecture, heterogeneous networks and HSPA system performance. Offering full coverage of recent developments in HSPA up to Release 13, this book will provide a comprehensive description of one of the dominating standards for mobile broadband.
With this book, you will:
- A full insight into the 3GPP and regulatory standardisation processes and the factors that drive evolution of the specification
- A walk through of the fundamental technology principles that lie behind HSPA
- A structured overview of the WCDMA/HSPA feature set, offering insider coverage starting from the core release 5/6 technologies and reviewing each of the added features up to and including the most recent developments in the area
- An overview of the frequency bands available for HSPA
- An insight into the radio performance requirements, their background and implications for mobiles and networks
- A tutorial on simulation principles for HSPA
- A description of the performance of HSPA features within the context of a tutorial on the factors that drive performance
