HSPA+ Has a Strong Evolution Path
Created February 8, 2011. Notes: R8 reaches 42 Mbps by combining 2x2 MIMO and HOM (64QAM) in 5 MHz, or
by utilizing HOM (64QAM) and multicarrier in 10 MHz. R9 combines multicarrier and MIMO in 10 MHz to reach 84 Mbps peak rates. Uplink multicarrier doubles the uplink peak data rate to 23 Mbps in 10 MHz in R9. R10 expands multicarrier to 20 MHz to
reach 168 Mbps. R11 expands multicarrier to 40MHz to reach 336 Mbps.
R11 and Beyond: HSPA+ Advanced Expands HSPA+ to 40 MHz deployments Further leverages multiple antennas (UL
MIMO/Beamforming) Exploits smart networks (multipoint) and
HetNet enhancements R10: 20 MHz Multicarrier Expands HSPA+ to 20 MHz deployments Evolution to femtocell networks R9: Expands Dual-Carrier 10 MHz dual-carrier in uplink Combination of MIMO and dual-carrier in downlink Aggregation across spectrum bands Femtocell enhancements: active mobility R8: 10 MHz Dual-Carrier Enhances broadbanddoubled data rates to
all users Introduction to femtocell support Alleviates signaling traffic, e.g., from smartphones
(336+ Mbps)
