Summary:
Based on the bestseller "3G Evolution
- HSPA and LTE for mobile broadband" and reflecting the
ongoing success of LTE throughout the world, this book
focuses on LTE with full updates including LTE-Advanced to
provide a complete picture of the LTE system. Overview and
detailed explanations are given for the latest LTE standards
for radio interface architecture, the physical layer, access
procedures, broadcast, relaying, spectrum and RF
characteristics, and system performance. Key technologies
presented include multi-carrier transmission, advanced
single-carrier transmission, advanced receivers, OFDM, MIMO
and adaptive antenna solutions, advanced radio resource
management and protocols, and different radio network
architectures. Their role and use in the context of mobile
broadband access in general is explained. Both a high-level
overview and more detailed step-by-step explanations of the
LTE/LTE-Advanced implementation are given. An overview of
other related systems such as GSM/EDGE, HSPA, CDMA2000, and
WIMAX is also provided. This book is a 'must-have' resource
for engineers and other professionals in the
telecommunications industry, working with cellular or
wireless broadband technologies, giving an understanding of
how to utilize the new technology in order to stay ahead of
the competition. The authors of the book all work at Ericsson
Research and have been deeply involved in 3G and 4G
development and standardisation since the early days of 3G
research. They are leading experts in the field and are today
still actively contributing to the standardisation of LTE
within 3GPP.
