Utilizing Jiangsu Mobile’s commercial network, the test included uplink CA and 64QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) demonstrating uplink CA’s performance in a live network. The test brings one step closer towards actual commercialization, said Huawei in a statement.
Besides this uplink CA verification, China Mobile, world’s #1 telecom operator based on subscriber base, has already started upgrading the entire network in Shenzhen to TDD LTE-A by enabling the downlink CA.
