3G network with MIMO & DC_HSPA applied

[khaldounh]

Dear experts

Any one knows if there is any operator has applied the MIMO & DC-HSDPA together in 3G network? and what is the UE that can support both technologies together specially in 3G!

Thanks

Hello!

Real MIMO in 3 G is dead: problem with legacy terminals.
So, 3G MIMO slowly faded out of powerpoints and roadmaps of most vendors.
While refarming 2.1 GHz for LTE, it becomes attractive: we already have two TX for LTE.
Some tricks like TX diversity can be used, but this is not real MIMO.

On the other hand: as most of packet traffic is moving to LTE and HSPA decline,
who cares: if users want good packet data, they should go to LTE.
With load on HSPA declining, yesterdays capacity is enough.

hi All,

I had detail discussion with E// solution experts and unfortunately, Ue Vendors didn't opt this. 1 carrier up to 42Mbps was possible, hardly any Ue support this.
