Description
Summary:In this paper, evaluation of HSPA radio technology is provided with the reference to IMT-Advanced requirements. Recent technological advancements are included to verify if HSPA is capable of meeting these requirements. Extensive system-level simulation campaigns are carried out, which shadow IMT-A performance evaluation guidelines and suggested test environments specifications. Respective results are analyzed in the context of spectral efficiency, VoIP capacity and high speed mobility of IMT-A requirements. The presented results indicate that although a single strongly interference-limited environment is unlikely to pass stringent IMT-A spectral efficiency criteria, overall all the IMT-A test requirements are passed.
