HSPA
HSPA is a third generation (3G) evolution of WCDMA that combines two
extensions to UMTS—HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and
HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access).
HSPA+
HSPA+ is an enhanced version of HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), as defined
by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 7 UMTS Specification
for Mobile Terminated Equipment. Using improved modulation schemes and
refined data communication protocols, HSPA+ permits increased uplink and
downlink data rates.
DC-HSPA+
Dual-Carrier HSPA+ is an enhanced version of HSPA+, as defined by the 3GPP
Release 8 UMTS Specification for Mobile Terminated Equipment. DC-HSPA+
uses paired spectrum allocations to double the bandwidth available and,
therefore, double downlink data rates.
GPRS / EGPRS
GPRS and EGPRS are 2G wireless technologies providing end-to-end packet
data services through reuse of existing GSM infrastructure.
Note: The network
controls slot assignments
based on current network
loads and the bandwidth
required by the mobile
device - users cannot
change slot assignments.
GPRS / EGPRS packet data rates are determined by the number of timeslots
available for downlink (Rx) and uplink (Tx), and the coding scheme used for any
given transmission.
The MC7304 supports:
• GPRS—Multislot class 10 (no backoff)—Four Rx slots (maximum), two Tx
slots(maximum), five active slots total
