HSPA+

HSPA+ is an enhanced version of HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), as defined
by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 7 UMTS Specification
for Mobile Terminated Equipment. Using improved modulation schemes and
refined data communication protocols, HSPA+ permits increased uplink and
downlink data rates.

DC-HSPA+

Dual-Carrier HSPA+ is an enhanced version of HSPA+, as defined by the 3GPP
Release 8 UMTS Specification for Mobile Terminated Equipment. DC-HSPA+
uses paired spectrum allocations to double the bandwidth available and,
therefore, double downlink data rates.

GPRS / EDGE

GPRS and EDGE are 2G wireless technologies providing end-to-end
services through reuse of existing GSM infrastructure.
GPRS / EDGE packet data rates are determined by the number of timeslots
available for downlink (Rx) and uplink (Tx), and the coding scheme used for any
given transmission.
The MC7710 supports:
• All standardized coding schemes (CS 1 to CS 4, and MCS1 to MCS9)
• Multislot class 10 (GPRS)
· 2 Tx slots (maximum); 4 Rx slots (maximum)
· Up to 5 active slots
· No backoff
• Multislot class 12 (EDGE)
· 4 Tx slots (maximum); 4 Rx slots (maximum)
· Up to 5 active slots
· For MCS1-4 (GMSK), up to 6dB backoff used for Tx slots 3 and 4
