4G: LTE/LTE-Advanced for Mobile Broadband
The 4G Solution for Mobile Broadband

Focuses on LTE including LTE-Advanced to provide a complete picture of the LTE system. This title gives overview and detailed explanations for the LTE standards for radio interface architecture, the physical layer, access procedures, broadcast, relaying, spectrum and RF characteristics, and system performance.

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. Follow up to the very successful 3G Evolution, now focusing on LTE and LTE Advanced standard and its accompanying technologies. It includes complete and clear explanation of LTE Advanced by the people who played a leading role in its development, which will enable engineers to quickly grasp the latest 3GPP Release 10 standard and implement it in their products. Not a contributed book as most others on this topic are: this book gives an integrated introduction to the technologies and the standard.
