HSDPA/HSUPA for UMTS

Dr. Harri Holma is Principal Engineer at Nokia Networks, with special focus on UMTS/HSDPA performance.  He has been with Nokia since 1994.  Dr. Holma co-edited the book WCDMA for UMTS’ and completed his PhD on UMTS performance at Helsinki University of Technology. Antti Toskala also joined Nokia in 1994, and is currently Senior Standardisation Manager with System Technologies, Nokia Networks, and contributes to product development as HSDPA Chief Architect for Nokia Networks.  He has a large number of publications in the field, and is co-editor/author of WCDMA for UMTS.
