Benefits of Flexible Dual Carrier HSDPA: The Flexible Dual Carrier HSDPA feature dynamically uses instantaneous idle resources in a cell, increasing the UE data rate and system capacity. In the case of three carriers, this feature increases the UE data rate by up to 20% when UEs are processing burst services. The feature gain is affected by the proportion of UEs supporting the multi-carrier HSDPA technologies. This feature enables a smooth evolution between multi-carrier HSDPA technologies by configuring multi-carrier cell groups. |
