HSDPA - Design Details & System Engineering

This book is targeted for all engineers and technicians who need to gain an expert knowledge about the key functions of HSDPA like AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) or HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) The book focuses on the necessary extensions of the UTRAN architecture in NodeB and UE which are required for HSDPA. Another focus is on the protocol enhancements like MAC-hs or on the frame protocols on Iub/Iur interface. Special emphasis is put on NodeB’s and UE’s physical layer aspects, which allow a higher user data throughput far beyond conventional 384kbit/s.
