 HSPA+: Protocols & Physical Layer
Length:
16 hours (2 days)

Prerequisites:
Students should have completed the following courses or have equivalent work experience/educational background:
  • UMTS/WCDMA Technical Overview
  • HSDPA Protocols and Physical Layer
  • HSUPA Protocols and Physical Layer


Audience:
Wireless operators interested in migrating to HSPA+.

Course Description: 
All major commercial networks have now been upgraded to support HSDPA. Several networks are also being upgraded to support HSUPA. As the demand for wireless services is growing rapidly new set of features have been standardized in Release 7. This set of features is known as HSPA+ or Evolved HSPA. The goal of these features is to improve throughput, capacity, extend battery life, improve efficiency and thus improve overall user experience and allow operators to extract most out of their networks. HSPA+ Protocols and Physical Layer class provides a detailed overview of major features in HSPA+. The focus is mainly on features on air interface since their impact is the most significant in achieving the goals listed above. The features described in this class are Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), Higher Order Modulation (64 QAM on downlink and 16 QAM on uplink), Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC), Enhanced RRC State and Enhanced Fractional-DPCH. It is hoped that this class will educate audience on concept behind each feature and details of implementation in Release 7. Pointer to the specifications will also allow the material to act as a reference material for individual feature.

Course Topics:
  • Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO)
  • Higher Order Modulation (HOM)
  • Layer 2 Enhancements
  • Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC)
  • Radio Resource Control (RRC) States Enhancements
  • Fractional Dedicated Physical Control Channel (F-DPCH) Enhancements


Objectives:
  • Identify motivations behind Release 7 enhancements.
  • List Release 7 features that aid in achieving higher data rates.
  • Describe Release 7 features such as MIMO and higher order modulation schemes that allow higher data rates.
  • Explain how new features such as CPC and enhancements to RRC states in Release 7 allow more efficient system operation.


Media:
This course uses a combination of an Instructor-led PowerPoint presentation and student materials.
