Afif Osseiran & Jose F. Monserrat 
Mobile and Wireless Communications for IMT-Advanced and Beyond [EPUB ebook] 

A timely addition to the understanding of IMT-Advanced, this book
places particular emphasis on the new areas which IMT-Advanced
technologies rely on compared with their predecessors. These latest
areas include Radio Resource Management, Carrier Aggregation,
improved MIMO support and Relaying.

Each technique is thoroughly described and illustrated before
being surveyed in context of the LTE-Advanced standards. The book
also presents state-of-the-art information on the different aspects
of the work of standardization bodies (such as 3GPP and IEEE),
making global links between them.

* Explores the latest research innovations to assess the future
of the LTE standard

* Covers the latest research techniques for beyond IMT-Advanced
such as Coordinated multi-point systems (Co MP), Network Coding,
Device-to-Device and Spectrum Sharing

* Contains key information for researchers from academia and
industry, engineers, regulators and decision makers working on
LTE-Advanced and beyond

Circa l’autore

Afif Osseiran received a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronics
from Université de Rennes I, France, in 1995, a DEA (B.Sc.E.E)
degree in Electrical Engineering from Université de Rennes I
and INSA Rennes in 1997, and a M.A.Sc. degree in Electrical and
Communication Engineering from École Polytechnique de
Montreal, Canada, in 1999. In 2006, he defended successfully his
Ph.D thesis at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden.
Since 1999 he has been with Ericsson, Sweden. During the years 2006
and 2007 he led in the European project WINNER the MIMO task. From
April 2008 to June 2010, he was the technical manager of the Eureka
Celtic project WINNER+. Dr. Osseiran is listed in the Who’s Who in
the World, and in Science & Engineering. He has published more
then 50 technical papers and has in 2009 co-authored a book on
Radio Technologies and Concepts for IMT-Advanced with John
Wiley & Sons. Since 2006, he has been teaching at Master’s
level at KTH.

Jose F. Monserrat received his MSc. degree with High
Honors and Ph.D. degree in Telecommunications engineering from the
Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) in 2003 and 2007,
respectively. In 2009 he was awarded with the best young researcher
prize of Valencia. He is currently an associate professor in the
Communications Department of the UPV. His research focuses on the
application of complex computation techniques to Radio Resource
Management (RRM) strategies and to the optimization of current and
future mobile communications networks, as LTE-Advanced and IEEE
802.16m. He has been involved in several European Projects, acting
as task or work package leader in WINNER+, ICARUS, COMIC and
PROSIMOS. In 2010 he also participated in one external evaluation
group within ITU-R on the performance assessment of the candidates
for the future family of standards for IMT-Advanced.

Werner Mohr graduated from the University of Hannover,
Germany, with a Master’s degree in electrical engineering in 1981
and a Ph.D. degree in 1987. He joined Siemens AG, in 1991. He was
involved in several EU funded projects and ETSI standardization
groups on UMTS and systems beyond 3G. In December 1996 he became
project manager of the European ACTS FRAMES Project until the
project finished in August 1999. This project developed the basic
concepts of the UMTS radio interface. Since April 2007 he has been
with Nokia Siemens Networks Gmb H & Co. KG, Germany, where he is
Head of Research Alliances. He was the coordinator of the WINNER
Project in Framework Program 6 of the European Commission, and the
Eureka Celtic project WINNER+. Dr. Mohr is an IEEE Senior Member.
He is a co-author of the books Third Generation Mobile
Communication Systems and Radio Technologies and Concepts
for IMT-Advanced.
