High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) is a collection of two mobile telephony
protocols, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink
Packet Access (HSUPA). Allowing networks based on the Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System to achieve data rates of several megabits per second,
these powerful protocols are ideal for applications ranging from file transfer
to multimedia streaming. From basic concepts to research grade material, the
HSDPA/HSUPA Handbook provides technical information on all aspects of
HSDPA/HSUPA. With contributions from 30 experts from around the world, this
comprehensive HSPA reference provides a global and authoritative perspective of
this rapidly emerging technology. * Investigates the relationship between
