Heterogeneous Cellular Networks [EPUB ebook] 

A timely publication providing coverage of radio resource
management, mobility management and standardization in
heterogeneous cellular networks
The topic of heterogeneous cellular networks has gained momentum
in industry and the research community, attracting the attention of
standardization bodies such as 3GPP LTE and IEEE 802.16j, whose
objectives are looking into increasing the capacity and coverage of
the cellular networks. This book focuses on recent
progresses, covering the related topics including scenarios
of heterogeneous network deployment, interference management in the
heterogeneous network deployment, carrier aggregation in a
heterogeneous network, cognitive radio, cell selection/reselection
and load balancing, mobility and handover management, capacity and
coverage optimization for heterogeneous networks, traffic
management and congestion control.
This book enables readers to better understand the technical
details and performance gains that are made
possible by this state-of-the-art technology. It contains the
information necessary for researchers and engineers wishing to
build and deploy highly efficient wireless networks themselves. To
enhance this practical understanding, the book is structured to
systematically lead the reader through a series of case-studies of
real world scenarios.
Key features:
* Presents this new paradigm in cellular network domain: a
heterogeneous network containing network nodes with different
characteristics such as transmission power and RF coverage
area
* Provides a clear approach by containing tables, illustrations,
industry case studies, tutorials and examples to cover the related
topics
* Includes new research results and state-of-the-art
technological developments and implementation issues
