  4. 3G/WCDMA

    The air interface for one of the International Telecommunications Union's family of third-generation mobile communications systems.

  5. HSPA

    The set of technologies that defines the migration path for 3G/WCDMA operators worldwide.

  6. LTE

    Designed to be backwards-compatible with GSM and HSPA, Long Term Evolution incorporates MIMO in combination with OFDMA.
