HSDPA: High-Speed Downlink Packet Access
?HSDPA enables operators to provide newer, faster services such as on-demand streaming video/film,
high-resolution interactive gaming, multimedia music tracks, “push-to-watch” services and access to
large email attachments-all at speeds nearly three times faster than today’s commercial 3G UMTS
networks and four times faster than EDGE networks. [note: this applies to the downlink only at this time]
o The data capacity of HSDPA-enhanced UMTS networks will be increased 2.5 to 3.5 times
that of UMTS, thus offering operators a much-reduced network cost for data services.
o The deployment of HSDPA-enhanced UMTS networks is similar in upgrade to the EDGEenhanced
GSM/GPRS network.
o Operators deploying HSDPA will be able to support both voice and data using the same
spectrum allocation.
?HSDPA offers a combination of spectral efficiency, high speed and low latency, thus enabling true
mass-market mobile broadband.
o Spectral efficiency: Operators using HSDPA will be able to support users for both voice and
data using the same spectrum allocation.
o High speed: HSDPA will offer significant benefits to both end user and operator,…
