Hi,
Please find enclosed a very interesting WP on HSPA+/LTE carrier aggregation features from 4g Americas
BR
-L
-------
Introduction
LTE networks are being rolled out at an increasing speed, while at the same time the existing HSPA
networks are expanded and upgraded with the more advanced HSPA+ features in order to cater to the
ever-increasing appetite for wireless data. Due to the major investments in the HSPA+ infrastructure and
the vast and rapidly increasing HSPA+ based mobile broadband device penetration the two networks can
be foreseen to coexist in parallel for years to come.
The evolution of both HSPA+ and LTE standards has introduced aggregation of carriers for higher data
rates, better load balancing and increased spectrum utilization, and since the dawn of LTE, the standard
support for radio level interworking for HSPA and LTE radios has been included. A natural continuation of
such development is to tighten the interworking even further and introduce similar aggregation of carriers
between the two radio access technologies.
