‘Where this book is exceptional is that the reader will not just
learn how LTE works but why it works.’
–Adrian Scrase, ETSI Vice-President, International
Partnership Projects
LTE – The UMTS Long Term Evolution: From Theory to
Practice provides the reader with a comprehensive system-level
understanding of LTE, built on explanations of the theories which
underlie it. The book is the product of a collaborative effort of
key experts representing a wide range of companies actively
participating in the development of LTE, as well as academia. This
gives the book a broad, balanced and reliable perspective on this
important technology. Lucid yet thorough, the book devotes
particular effort to explaining the theoretical concepts in an
accessible way, while retaining scientific rigour. It highlights
practical implications and draws comparisons with the well-known
WCDMA/HSPA standards. The authors not only pay special attention to
the physical layer, giving insight into the fundamental concepts of
OFDMA, SC-FDMA and MIMO, but also cover the higher protocol layers
and system architecture to enable the reader to gain an overall
understanding of the system.
Key Features:
* Draws on the breadth of experience of a wide range of key
experts from both industry and academia, giving the book a balanced
and broad perspective on LTE
* Provides a detailed description and analysis of the complete
LTE system, especially the ground-breaking new physical layer
* Offers a solid treatment of the underlying advances in
fundamental communications and information theory on which LTE is
based
* Addresses practical issues and implementation challenges
related to the deployment of LTE as a cellular system
* Includes an accompanying website containing a complete list of
acronyms related to LTE, with a brief description of each (href=’http://www.wiley.com/go/sesia_theumts’>http://www.wiley.com/go/sesia_theumts)
This book is an invaluable reference for all research and
development engineers involved in LTE implementation, as well as
graduate and Ph D students in wireless communications. Network
operators, service providers and R&D managers will also find
this book insightful.
