HSPA+ Training, HSPA+ Protocols, Procedures and Signaling (R7, R8 & R9)
Learn about 3GPP HSPA+ protocols, procedures, and signaling as covered in Releases 7, 8 and 9. HSPA+ provides many L1 and L2 enhancements and optimizations to eHSPA and it is able to improve and increase both uplink and downlink data rates including peak throughput, air interface efficiency, UTRA-capacity and latency reduction for RRC and user data transfer.
