HSPA Performance and Evolution

Klappentext:

Practical Implementation of HSPA in UMTS Networks: Performance and Evolution conveys the practical implementation aspects of HSPA in UMTS networks to practicing engineers in the wireless industry. It incorporates real-world performance data and network optimization insights from a mobile operator's perspective and provides a state-of-the-art insight of the performance of HSDPA and HSUPA technology, including extensive documentation from real network trials with emphasis on actual lab and field performance.

The book covers the basics of the technology before moving on to the critical topics of network optimization and performance tradeoffs observed in the real world. The expectations that operators have when selecting this technology are explored and the major practical challenges that are faced during deployment and operation of an HSPA data network are also addressed. It provides a reference for engineers to optimize the networks, highlighting the areas that in practice presenta higher impact on the network performance.
