HSDPA is a feature of Releases 5 and 6 of UMTS which will allow downstream packet data at between 4 and 10 Mbps by introducing a package of technologies: new radio modulation techniques, fast hybrid ARQ, channel dependent scheduling and using several channel codes in parallel. This course explores each of these components of HSDPA in detail, explaining how they work in synergy to create this major step forward for UMTS. In addition, the evolution of HSDPA to deliver 20Mbps per user is also described.
