China Mobile Tests LTE-A Carrier Aggregation with 64QAM

China Mobile completed a field trial of uplin

k Carrier Aggregation on its LTE network in Jiangsu province in partnership with Huawei.

The test included uplink CA and 64QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and yielded a 180% increase in the uplink rate,

Huawei said the better uplink performance demonstrated in this test could prove useful for applications such as picture and video sharing by individual users, as well as video surveillance, telemedicine, and shoot-and-transmit for enterprise users.  The company also noted that its customer China Mobile has already started upgrading the entire network in Shenzhen to TDD LTE-A by enabling the downlink CA.
