As the name suggests, this is a piece of UMTS functionality designed to deliver downlink packet data at very high data rates. It is a release 5 feature. It achieves its aim by using the following techniques: Use of shared channel concept Rather than constantly allocating and deallocating dedicated channels to individual users, users share a high bandwidth channel the HS-DSCH (High Speed Downlink Shared Channel). This allows the system to operate with a fat pipe R N 7 1 3 7 - 0 0 A
