Product Description

Product Description

Based on the bestseller "3G Evolution - HSPA and LTE for mobile broadband" and reflecting the ongoing success of LTE throughout the world, this book focuses on LTE with full updates including LTE-Advanced to provide a complete picture of the LTE system. Overview and detailed explanations are given for the latest LTE standards for radio interface architecture, the physical layer, access procedures, broadcast, relaying, spectrum and RF characteristics, and system performance.

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 the LTE/LTE-Advanced implementation are given. An overview of other related systems such as GSM/EDGE, HSPA, CDMA2000, and WIMAX is also provided.

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 have been deeply involved in 3G and 4G 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 LTE within 3GPP.

 




  • Includes full details of the latest additions to the LTE Radio Access standards and technologies up to and including 3GPP Release 10

  • Clear explanations of the role of the underlying technologies for LTE, including OFDM and MIMO

  • Full coverage of LTE-Advanced, including LTE carrier aggregation, extended multi-antenna transmission, relaying functionality and heterogeneous deployments

  • LTE radio interface architecture, physical layer, access procedures, MBMS, RF characteristics and system performance covered in detail

Industry Standard Reference on LTE - Everything you need to know 13 Nov 2011
By Joel Avrunin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
As a field applications engineer working in the field of test and measurement, I was looking for a book to effectively bring me up to date on the latest standards in LTE testing. My own background cover RF, digital modulation techniques, and other standards, so I came into this book with a base of knowledge to expand into LTE. I make that statement because if you are a casual reader or "just interested", this book is definitely not for you. If you just want a survey of LTE technology, it is provided in Chapter 1, but that is merely 11 of the 400 pages in this tome. For basic knowledge, just google LTE.

If you are a serious student looking to understand the technology, where it stands today, its future limits, and how it is implemented, then look no further than this comprehensive work on LTE. It is already the industry standard, and likely to be the desk reference for any engineer working on LTE. Whatever can be explained in clear english is explained that way, including many diagrams and illustrations to illuminate the text.

The book covers basics of OFDM modulation techniques, equalization, multi-antenna techiniques, link adaptation, scheduling, LTE architeture, and physical transmission concerns. Indeed, an engineer working in LTE must be concerned with everything from antenna design to data formatting to spectral emission shape, and this book covers each of these topics in turn.

On top of everything, there is a well-organized index if you need to jump around the book, a list of abbreviations and acronyms, and a comprehensive list of references for further reading. As with all Academic Press books in this series (see my review on MIMO), it is well bound and will stand up to lots of reading.

If your job description includes (or if you are looking for a job that will include) LTE, buy this book. If you are an interesed amateur, save your money and get some free education on the web first.

Excellent Resource on LTE Technology 21 Nov 2011
By Book Reviews Weekly - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This book is an excellent resource on LTE Technology covering 4G. The book is aimed at a more general audience so you don't have to possess a PHD in math to understand it, though obviously some math is necessary. Mobile broadband is constantly changing, so if your job requires you to keep up on the latest technologies, 4G LTE Advanced is a great book to get up to speed on LTE technologies. It's also hardcover so it's easy to store and use as a reference manual.

Outstanding Book 10 Nov 2011
By A. Kashyap - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is up-to-date and comprehensive. It is aimed at a more general audience than most other LTE books out there. Mathematics is used sparingly, and only as a tool to increase understanding. As a result, anyone with a technical background can get up to speed quickly on the important aspects of LTE and LTE-Advanced. Highly recommended!
