The document provides an overview of 3G HSDPA technology and its impact on radio access network architecture. It discusses key HSDPA features like fast link adaptation, short transmission time intervals, higher order modulation, and fast retransmissions. It explains how HSDPA moved some medium access control functions from the RNC to the Node B to enable fast scheduling and feedback. The summary also outlines enhancements from Release 5 to Release 6 like enhanced uplink, transmit diversity, and higher peak data rates.
