Huawei has completed the first LTE-A uplink coordinated multi-point (CoMP) trial on several commercial LTE networks in Europe and Asia.
Huawei said its testing revealed that uplink CoMP can effectively double data rates at cell edges for a single user, improving network performance in terms of coverage, spectrum efficiency and throughput.
The company has previously demonstrated LTE-A inter-band carrier aggregation (CA) and heterogeneous networks (HetNet).
“This is a key milestone for the LTE industry,” said Ying Weimin, Huawei President for GSM/UMTS/LTE Networks. “Our No-Edge Network concept utilizes various LTE, LTE-A and innovative future-oriented technologies to realize ultra-broadband, zero-waiting and ubiquitous connectivity. This results in an enhanced experience and brings users the benefits of speed, quality and simplicity.”
