Product Description

From the editors of the highly successful WCDMA for UMTS, this new book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date reference to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technologies for WCDMA. The editors cover both HSDPA and HSUPA, including an in-depth description and explanation of 3GPP standards, and expected performance based on simulations and first measurements. The text also discusses the impact of HSDPA and HSUPA on network dimensioning, covers applications and end-to-end performance in detail, and includes a section on radio frequency requirements and terminal design considerations.

The most comprehensive and advanced guide to the HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) technologies and standardisation, HSDPA/HSUPA for UMTS:

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 and terminal design considerations, covering different RF bands, multi-band HSDPA and multi-mode HSDPA+EDGE challenges, power consumption
Provides numerous illustrations of 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) standards and performance

This title provides excellent coverage of the area for system, element and chip designers, network planners, technical mangers with vendors, operators and application developers. It is also ideal for postgraduates and researchers in related areas.

From the Back Cover

By the Editors of the highly successful WCDMA for UMTS, this new book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date reference to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technologies for WCDMA. High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) are standardized as part of 3GPP Releases 5 and 6. HSPA, the term for both HSDPA and HSUPA, is designed on top of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), the main air interface used for third generation mobile communication systems globally.

This new volume offers in-depth descriptions and explanations of 3GPP standards, and expected performance based on simulations and measurements. The text also discusses the impact of HSDPA and HSUPA on network dimensioning and network algorithms, covers end-to-end performance, and includes descriptions on HSPA terminal radio frequency requirements.

Explains 3GPP HSDPA and HSUPA standard with illustrations
Describes the co-existence of WCDMA and HSPA
Presents HSPA network algorithms
Analyses HSPA data rates, coverage and capacity with simulations and network measurements
Illustrates end-to-end application performance with HSPA radio networks
Introduces HSPA terminal radio frequency (RF) requirements

Written by leading experts in the field, this advanced guide will appeal to system designers, network R&D experts, mobile chip designers, network planners, application developers and technical managers with operators and vendors. It will also be a useful resource for postgraduate students and researchers in related areas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good to understand HSPA, Jan 19 2007

By Isal M. Artha - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: HSDPA/HSUPA for UMTS: High Speed Radio Access for Mobile Communications (Hardcover)

For everyone that have bought WCDMA for UMTS, this book is recomended for next reading.

This book cover advance understanding about next technolgy evolution, HSPA.

History about standardization in first chapter give a good information for depth knowledge about the story behind standard and next development.

I advice for everybody that work in Telecommunication, such as RF Engineer, RF Manager, Radio Technical Sales and Pre-Sales, System Engineer and Student to read this book.
