Course Overview

Course in a Nutshell

High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), a technology that complements High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), is an evolutionary step that makes the uplink of WCDMA packet-based for data services. Together, HSDPA and HSUPA offer reduced latency and much higher data rates on the downlink and uplink, theoretically as high as 14.0 Mbps in the downlink and up to 5.8 Mbps in the uplink. They are expected to help usher in a mass market for mobile IP multimedia services.

In this course, you will undertake a comprehensive review of the layer 1 and layer 2 protocol functionality introduced in the UTRAN to support HSUPA, also known as Enhanced DCH or E-DCH. We will pay particular attention to the new Medium Access Control protocol entities, namely MAC-hs, MAC-e, and MAC-es. We will study in depth the functionality and coding of the new transport and physical channels, e.g. E-DCH, E-AGCH, and E-HICH. We will discuss how HSUPA impacts the UTRAN architecture as well as the key considerations involved in the planning of HSUPA networks. We will conclude the course with a look at the future of HSUPA and WCDMA.
