re: Interview with Harri Holma and and Antti Toskala of Nokia "HSDPA will be the next major step in WCDMA radio development" Harri Holma is senior research engineer and Antti Toskala is standardization manager at the Nokia Group They co-edited "WCDMA for UMTS: Radio Access For Third Generation Mobile Communications, Revised Edition". www1.fatbrain.com Excerpt from the interview: Fatbrain: What impact will WCDMA/UMTS in the 3GPP environment have on existing network infrastructures such as Mobile IP or future development of WCDMA HSPA and 1XEV? Holma and Toskala: We will see an integration with GSM/EDGE in the networks. From the operators' point of view, the EDGE+WCDMA radio-access network can be viewed as one network where the utilization of the resources is controlled by common radio-resource management. An IP-based radio access network will make it possible to provide 3G networks with lower costs. Now that we have seen the revolution in radio access with WCDMA on the network side, IP will play a bigger role in the future. But it will still rely on WCDMA as the radio interface. HSDPA will effectively utilize the IP-based architectures. HSDPA will be the next major step in WCDMA radio development. << - Eric -
