From the editors of the highly successful WCDMA for UMTS,this new book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date reference toHigh Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technologies for WCDMA. The editorscover both HSDPA and HSUPA, including an in-depth description andexplanation of 3GPP standards, and expected performance based onsimulations and first measurements. The text also discusses theimpact of HSDPA and HSUPA on network dimensioning, coversapplications and end-to-end performance in detail, and includes asection on radio frequency requirements and terminal designconsiderations.The most comprehensive and advanced guide to the HSDPA (HighSpeed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink PacketAccess) technologies and standardisation, HSDPA/HSUPA forUMTS:* Analyses the impact of HSDPA/HSUPA on network dimensioning,discussing co-existence with R99 (Release 99) and GPRS/EDGE(General Packet Radio Services/ Enhanced Data GSM Environment)* Contains a section on applications and end-to-end (e2e)performance* Includes a chapter on radio frequency (RF) requirements andterminal design considerations, covering different RF bands,multi-band HSDPA and multi-mode HSDPA+EDGE challenges, powerconsumption* Provides numerous illustrations of 3GPP (Third GenerationPartnership Project) standards and performanceThis title provides excellent coverage of the area for system,element and chip designers, network planners, technical mangerswith vendors, operators and application developers. It is alsoideal for postgraduates and researchers in related areas.
