I-HSPA is available today for high
volume data
Architecture evolution towardstheLTE
I-HSPA provides same flat architecture as LTE and
CS GGSN
SAE is available now !
Core GW
I-HSPA is standardized in 3GPP R7
Huawei has started to offer "Direct Tunnel"
RNC
Direct Tunnel is not any flat architecture, RNC
BTS eNB is still used for signalling

Rel. 7 Rel. 8

Unique I-HSPA data network option

complementing competitive 3G
Solution
Flexi BTS GGSN In commercial use

Ethernet & QoS removes transport bottleneck

 Advanced Main-Remote Site
Solution
• Unique 60+60W per cell direct to antenna
Superior
• Ensures performance
the best MIMO site with MIMO and 4-way diversity
Best coverage and
performance
• HSDPA 84Mbps with Dual Cell & highest capacity with
MIMO*) Advanced Main-
– Most compact site solution Remote Site Solution
• 3- sector site with 1*RF-Module
– E.g. 1+1+1 @ 60 W
• 3- sector MIMO with 2*RF Modules per
BTS
– E.g. 1+1+1 @ 60+60W 2TX
MIMO*)
• Distributed antenna configuration with
1*RF Module per sector
– E.g. 1 @ 60+60 W 2TX MIMO per
sector*)

– 30% improved coverage and HSUPA

throughput gain
• 4-way diversity*) support with existing
HW
• No need for feeders, just jumpers
• MIMO and 4-way div with same
*) RU30 configuration
