re: Samsung and WCDMA with HSDPA Anyone following the evolution of the UMTS 'R5' Standard will note that Samsung is very active in the process. >> Samsung Hosts Debate On Specifications For 3.5G Services Cellular News November 28, 2001 Samsung Electronics has been hosting the 5-day 3GPP Technical Specification Group-Radio Access Network (TSG-RAN) WG1 conference on Jeju Island. The expected outcome includes the determination of the physical hierarchy for asynchronous IMT-2000 wideband CDMA. This conference will convene some eight times in total over a one-year period. The conference agenda includes discussions on the future direction for W-CDMA and on the most advanced technology in this field. Specifically, the participants specialized technology and the evolutionary progress of 3.5G wireless access standards such as the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). The Technical Specification Group-Radio Access Network (TSG-RAN) is determining the specifications for communications between 3G handsets and the wireless base transceiver stations. High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is being debated to greatly accelerate the packet downlinks from the base transceiver station to the handset. The current standard for 3G wireless communications is 2Mbits, whereas HSDPA will provide speeds of 10Mbits or faster. With 4G services expected around 2010 and offering 20Mbits this will act as a stepping stone to the ultra wideband services that are expected to be available then. << - Eric -
