Huawei will showcase its latest HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Plus) technologies at Mobile World Congress. Visitors to Huawei's booth will experience the 'world's fastest' HSPA+ download peak speeds of 84Mb/s and uplink peak speeds of 11Mb/s.
Huawei forecasts that there will be a 1,000-fold increase in mobile broadband network traffic in the next decade, posing both a challenge, and an opportunity, for operators around the world. Driven by this rapid growth of mobile broadband, higher speed, lower latency, and better service experience has become the priority for end-users. Huawei's HSPA+ solution is said to greatly improve end users' mobile broadband experience when uploading materials, such as video conferencing, file sharing, and email.
In order to provide downlink data rates of up to 84Mb/s, Huawei's HSPA+ solution is based on 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Release 9 standards and combines higher order modulation (HOM) schemes (64QAM), multi-input multi-output (MIMO), and dual cell transmission. To realize the peak uplink data rates of up to 11Mb/s, Huawei adopts an Interference Cancellation solution, which doubles the speed on 3GPP Release 6 and minimizes intra-cell interference issues.
Wan Biao, President of Wireless, Huawei, said, "Our record-breaking data speeds showcase the potential of HSPA+ and demonstrate how Huawei's solution can enable operators to provide consumers with an ever more attractive mobile broadband experience."
