Reflecting the recent completion of LTEs specification, the new
edition of this bestseller has been fully updated to provide a
complete picture of the LTE system. The latest LTE standards are
included on the radio interface architecture, the physical layer,
access procedures, MBMS, together with three brand new chapters on
LTE Transmission Procedures, Flexible Bandwidth in LTE and LTE
evolution into IMT-Advanced.

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 HSPA and
LTE implementation are given. An overview of other related systems
such as TD SCDMA, CDMA2000, and WiMAX is also provided.

The new edition has up-to-date coverage of the recently published
LTE Release 8 radio-access standard, giving the reader insight into
the ongoing and future process of LTE and LTE-Advanced
standardisation.

Coverage on LTE in this edition includes (an extra 160 pages):

Easy-to-access overview of the LTE protocol layers
Complete description of LTE physical layer including reference
signals, control signalling, multi-antenna transmission schemes
Covers both FDD and TDD, their fundamental difference and their
impact on the LTE design
Detailed description of access procedures including cell search,
random access, broadcast of system information
Transmission procedures, including retransmission protocols,
scheduling, uplink power control
Evolution towards IMT-Advanced ("4G")

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 are
deeply involved in 3G 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
both HSPA and LTE within 3GPP.

* Includes details of the standards and technologies (160 new
pages): LTE radio interface architecture, LTE physical layer and
LTE access procedures
* Contains three brand new chapters on LTE: Transmission
Procedures, Flexible Bandwidth and LTE Evolution and expanded
details on the physical layer (total LTE content is 270 pages)
* Examines the latest developments in the evolution of LTE into
IMT-Advanced, the next stage of 3G Evolution
* Gives clear explanations of the role of OFDM and MIMO
technologies in HSPA and LTE
* Outlines the System Architecture Evolution (SAE) supporting LTE
and HSPA evolution
