Hi mightylakers, good dialogue! I don't have much time and will have to reply in detail next week. Some key pts I'd like to throw out now though are: 1) I think we both know sectorization does not work well in the cities. Slash a few more percentage points off of HDR's capacity for real world situations;) 2) About the recent 1X trials, from what I gather from a very reliable source, this was achieved purely by allocating 3X the normal # of walsh codes to that cell. This is like testing a TDMA/GSM cell at N=1 which will make your network appear to have phenomenal capacity. In the real world, you can't do this because you have to share resources with your neighboring cells. Sneaky? You bet, that's why I always take what they say with a grain of salt. 3) I'm aware HDR is strictly data(I thought I mentioned that in my post?), but the problem IMO is that is is still built on top of voice based networks with large cells and scarce spectrum. Anyways, glad to hear some intelligent input. Do you work in the industry? Cheers!
