Despite LTE, HSPA+ Keeps Evolving
Ovum, Nov 2010, Pages: 30
Despite the hype around LTE, HSPA is far from being old-fashioned. Two years ago, Ovum stated that HSPA+ rollouts would flourish and be adopted globally progressively, with an initial preference for the 21Mbps version. However, HSPA+ will keep being enhanced in upcoming 3GPP specifications. The 3GPP Release 8 (R8) specification not only introduces LTE, but also two enhanced versions of HSPA+, including Dual-Cell (DC, aka Dual-Carrier) which brings peak downlink rates of 42Mbps. This report describes the main HSPA+ enhancements brought by 3GPP R8, R9, and R10. It also offers early trends for these future HSPA+ options.
