This book is invaluable in enabling wireless operators to extract maximum performance offered by 3GPP’s HSPA radio technology, consisting of both downlink (HSDPA) and uplink (HSUPA) elements. It focuses on real-world performance, sharing practical implementation methods and tradeoffs for deploying, optimizing and maintaining networks using the HSPA air interface.

• Examines algorithms, equipment and performance perspectives to identify and explain HSPA
• Measures performance and sets network parameters for optimal tradeoffs
• Presents results from practical and real-world network performances
• Explores the evolution of HSPA technology into HSPA+ and eventually next generation LTE technologies
