Radio Technologies and Concepts for IMT-Advanced [PDF ebook] 

Radio Technologies and Concepts for IMT-Advanced presents
the findings of the Wireless World Initiative New Radio (WINNER)
project in Framework Program 6 of the European Commission. It
provides an insight into the key concepts and technologies for the
IMT-Advanced radio interface, based on the collaborative research
of manufacturers, network operators, research centres and
universities within WINNER. The book covers the fundamental radio
characteristics of a typical 4G wireless communication system,
focusing on the transceiver’s chain from the physical layer
to layers 2 and 3. Starting by defining realistic and futuristic
usage scenarios, the authors provide in-depth discussion of key
technologies including modulation and coding, link level
procedures, spatial-temporal processing, multiple access schemes
and inter-cell interference mitigation, channel estimation and
newly developed channel models. Finally, a cost assessment and
optimisation methodology is developed for different deployment
concepts in order to assess a wireless system in a condition close
to reality. The book provides an important system-level approach to
the latest radio technologies in the field, and evaluates
IMT-Advanced research in relation to international standardisation.
