High Speed Packet Access - Evolved High Speed Packet Access (HSPA+)
1
Evolved HSPA provides data rates up to
84 Mbit/s in the downlink and 10.8 Mbit/s
in the uplink (per 5 MHz carrier) with
multiple input, multiple output (2x2 MIMO)
technologies and higher order modulation
(64 QAM)

High Speed Packet Access - Multi-carrier HSPA (MC-HSPA)
1
The aggregation of more than two carriers
has been studied and 3GPP Release 11 is
scheduled to include 4-carrier HSPA. The
standard is scheduled to be finalised in Q3
2012 and first chipsets supporting MCHSPA in late 2013. Release 11 specifies 8carrier HSPA allowed in non-contiguous
bands with 4 × 4 MIMO offering peak
transfer rates up to 672 Mbit/s.

Bell Mobility - HSPA+
1
In October 2009 Telus Mobility and Bell
announced plans to deploy High Speed
Packet Access|HSPA technology by 2010
as part of an effort to eventually upgrade
to 3GPP Long Term Evolution|LTE
technology. The network launched on
November 4, 2009, months ahead of
schedule. This allowed Bell to carry the
iPhone 3GS, which was available at Telus
the following day. Huawei and Nokia
Siemens Networks provided the
infrastructure for the new network, which
covers 93% of the Canadian Population.

network is available to 96% of the Canadian
population

Bell Mobility - HSPA+
1
Despite the extensive HSPA coverage
area offered by Bell, the service area
in Manitoba and Northwestern
Ontario is substantially smaller than
its CDMA coverage but superior to the
HSPA coverage area offered by some
of its competitors. Bell's coverage in
these areas is limited to the areas
around Thunder Bay, Ontario, Kenora,
Ontario, and a corridor running from
Brandon, Manitoba to Winnipeg,
Manitoba.

Bell Mobility - HSPA+
1
Bell's HSPA+ network coverage is in all
Canadian provinces and two territories,
but it is impossible to drive in Canada
between the Pacific coast to the
Atlantic coast without going through
areas without any cellular coverage, as
there are gaps in cellular coverage in
British Columbia, Manitoba,
Newfoundland, and Ontario.

Rogers Wireless - HSPA+
In addition to its GSM network, in 2006 Rogers
became the first Canadian carrier to operate a 3G
HSPA network, which was upgraded to Evolved
HSPA|HSPA+ in 2009.Ian Hardy,

Rogers' HSPA+ network coverage is in

travel between the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts in Canada without
encountering a gap in cellular

cellular coverage in both British
Columbia and Ontario.

T-Mobile US - HSPA/HSPA+ 4G upgrade
1
The company has begun rolling out its
HSPA+ capabilities throughout its
cellular network, planning to
complete an upgrade of the entire
network by the end of 2010, covering
185 million potential subscribers. It is
marketing its HSPA+ services as 4G.
The company claims its HSPA+ is
currently faster than Clearwire's 4G
WiMAX. On September 2, 2009, Nokia
launched the N900, which was the first
device to support HSPA 10.2.

T-Mobile US - HSPA/HSPA+ 4G upgrade
On June 28, 2010, the company
announced that it will begin to upgrade the
network from HSPA+ 21 to HSPA+ 42
beginning sometime in 2011. T-Mobile is
marketing its HSPA+ services as 4G.

Evolved HSPA
'HSPA+', or 'Evolved High-Speed Packet
Access', is a technical standard for wireless,
broadband telecommunication. HSPA+
enhances the widely used WCDMA (UMTS)
based 3G networks with higher speeds for
the end user that are comparable to the
newer 3GPP Long Term Evolution|LTE
networks. HSPA+ was first defined in the
technical standard 3GPP release 7 and
expanded further in later releases.

In the United States, it is commonly available under
ATT Mobility and T-Mobile US.

Evolved HSPA - Speeds
HSPA+ provides an evolution of High
Speed Packet Access and provides Bit
rate|data rates up to 168Megabits per
second (Mbit/s) to the mobile device
(downlink) and 22Mbit/s from the mobile
device (uplink). Technically these are
achieved through the use of a multipleantenna technique known as MIMO (for
multiple-input and multiple-output) and
higher modulation order|order modulation
(64QAM) or combining multiple cells into
one with a technique known as Dual-Cell
HSDPA.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html
Evolved HSPA - Speeds
1
The 168Mbit/s and 22Mbit/s represent
theoretical peak speeds. The actual
speed for a user will be lower. In
general, HSPA+ offer higher bitrates
only in very good radio conditions
(very close to cell tower) or if the
terminal and network both support
either MIMO or Dual-Cell HSDPA,
which effectively use two parallel
transmit channels with different
technical implementations.

Evolved HSPA - Speeds
1
The higher 168Mbps speeds are achieved by
using multiple carriers with Dual-Cell HSDPA
and 4-way MIMO together
simultaneously.http://www.ericsson.com/res/t

The HS-DSCH downlink channel is
shared between users using channeldependent scheduling to make the best
use of available radio conditions. Each
user device continually transmits an
indication of the downlink signal quality,
as often as 500 times per second. Using
this information from all devices, the
base station decides which users will be
sent data in the next 2 ms frame and how
much data should be sent for each user.
More data can be sent to users which
report high downlink signal quality.
