HSPA
(High Speed Packet Access )
What is HSPA
• An evolution of 3G technology which allows
subscribers to experience all the existing features of
a 3G network (video call, video streaming, gaming)
What is HSPA
•High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is a generic term
adopted by the UMTS Forum to refer to improvements
in the UMTS Radio Interface in the Releases 5 and 6 of
the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
standards.

Key Features
• High Data rates
• Quality of service latency
• Capacity
• Coverage
6
Data Rates
• Higher order modulation schemes, such as 16QAM and
64QAM in DL achieving a maximum data rate of 14 Mbps
Dynamic Scheduling
Capacity
• Shared Channel Transmission
▫ Make efficient use of available time/frequency/codes and
power resources
• Channel Dependent scheduling
▫ Assign radio resources to users with the most favorable
conditions
• Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)
▫ To enable rapid retransmission of missing data, and soft
combining to significantly improve performance and robustness
10
Coverage
• Uses FDD
- is a duplex method when radio uplink and downlink.
transmissions uses two separated radio frequencies.
Applications
• High Speed Internet Access
• Voice over IP
• Multi player Gaming
• Streaming Live TV
• Video Telephony and Conferencing
12
HSDPA
• A new transport layer channel HS-DSCH has been added
to WCDMA, which can simultaneously shared by the
user
HARQ
• Data is transmitted together with error correction
• Enables erroneous packets to be resent within a 10ms
window, ensuring that the TCP throughput remains
high.
15
UE Compatibility (HSDPA)
• HSDPA requires new UEs. An HSDPA-enabled UE must contain the
processing power to handle fast hybrid ARQ, multi-code
processing, etc.
18
HSUPA
• A new dedicated uplink channel,
• Introduction of H-ARQ,
• Fast Node B scheduling.
19
UE Compatibility(HSUPA)
• HSDPA requires new UEs. An HSDPA-enabled UE must
contain the processing power to handle the new
functionality

HSPA+
• Introduces MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output)
capabilities and higher order modulation (64QAM).
• Enhances the capacity for non-real time traffic as well
as real-time services such as VoIP.
• Capable of delivering 42 Mbps peak bit rate in the
downlink and above 11 Mbps peak bit rate in the uplink.

Summary
• HSPA defines a series of straight forward upgrades to
UMTS R99 networks which will offer improvements of a
factor often in the speed of service delivery,
improvements of a factor of five in network capacity
and a significant improvement in service latency.
Summary
• HSDPA is capable of supporting up to 3.6Mbit/s.
