In detail, the participants will be able to :

• List the driving forces behind HSPA+
• Discover how HSPA+ improves system capacity
• Examine the impact to user data rates in the downlink & uplink
• Examine the impact of HSDPA cells on pre-Rel 7 cells
• Learn the key technological enhancements provided
• Discover how HSPA+ will better adjust to the radio link
• Examine the process defined to select the most optimal modulation and coding rates
• Understand how Incremental Redundancy will be used to improve the retransmissions mechanisms
• Discover how the fast scheduling functions will reduce the delays associated with sending packet data to the end-users
• Understand mobility scenarios
• Explore the end-to-end flows of a packet-switched session establishment
• Understand the effective use of Radio Resources
• Understand the integration issues with existing Infrastructure
• Understand how to increase the Capacity
• Understand the HSPA+ planning and performance management process
