Global mobile data has nearly tripled in the last year, growing more than 10 times faster than voice.
Total data traffic volume in 2015 will be more than 30 times that of 2010. Operators will need to
make capital investments to increase capacity in order to meet this demand

From GSA July,2012 Report
100% WCDMA operators have launched HSPA.

Almost 50% of HSPA operators have launched HSPA+.
Operators are primarily interested in 64QAM, followed by DC-HSPA and then MIMO-related enhancements.
Operators also paid lots of interests in PS service enhancement such as CPC features.
Operators generally cautious about using HSPA+ for voice services.

DL 2*2 MIMO Introduction

MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) uses multiple antennas respectively at the transmitting end and receiving
end to speed up downlink date bit rate, decrease BER and improve QoS.
MIMO Support two operation modes: dual-stream and single-stream transmission mode
Two streams (two transmission block) are transmitted simultaneously in 2ms through two antennas, getting
spatial diversity gain, improve the peak rate and data throughput.
UE category: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,25,26,27,28.

UL 64QAM+MIMO Introduction
Feature Brief for UL64QAM+MIMO
Increases the peak data rate up to 69Mbps
64QAM in HSUPA is dual-8PAM, where two I/Q multiplexed

amplitude modulated signal will form the waveform just like
64QAM.
64QAM can only exist when transmitting with 2xSF2+2xSF4.
UL MIMO is similar with DL MIMO, the differences are:

In Good Point, 64QAM can obtain 120% gain compared
with 16QAM
In Bad Point, 64QAM provide no more gain compared

DL 64QAM Deployment Proposals

Deploy Strategy Based on Frequency
Scenario 1:
Single carrier, all cells or partial cells may support R99/HSPA/HSPA+ (64QAM) services
It is always first step for HSPA+ deployment
Scenario 2
Another new carrier is introduced to support HSPA/HSPA+ (64QAM)
It is always adopted in CBD, indoor stadium where exist heavy data traffic.
Scenario 3
Both the existing and another new carrier are upgraded to support HSPA/HSPA+(64QAM)
It is always adopted when operators planned network expansion and HSPA+ capability upgrade together
Deploy Strategy Based on Areas
HSPA+ will be deployed firstly in areas where there are heavy data service requirement including capacity and
user experience enhancement, including indoor areas such as office building, public stadium, airport, government
office and high level residential area, and outdoor hotspots such as CBD, public marketplace, scenic spots and
schools.
Secondly urban and some import transport line
such as highway and high-railway.
Finally whole network coverage will be reached.

Scenario 1:
Upgrade the existing part of cells (or all cells) to support R99/HSPA/HSPA+ (MIMO) while the others still support
R99/HSPA.
This scenario always happens in MIMO pre-commercial period or MIMO initial stage
Scenario 2 :
One dedicated MIMO carrier is introduced to support HSPA/HSPA+ (MIMO).
This scenario always happens in hotspots such as CBD, in-building Stadium with high data traffic requirement.
Scenario 3 :
One dedicated MIMO carrier is introduced to support HSPA+(MIMO) only.
This scenario always happens when MIMO is mature and there are a lot of MIMO terminals in industry.

With the increase of user number, the station spacing, DC-HSUPA

gain against HSUPA would decreases.

When the station spacing is large, the transfer power of users at

the cell edge users will be insufficient so to affect the throughput
of DC-HSUPA, even get negative gain.
