Product Description
Review
"As a whole, the book provides great amount of useful material concerning LTE technology from different angles of view. All the most important aspects of LTE are covered in the book. In addition, the book surely gives something for everyone, starting from the basics and going in to the details as well. The book can be used to get familiar to mobile radio technologies with LTE used as an example." (SIVip, 2010)

Product Description
"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
Adrian Scrase, ETSI Vice–President, International Partnership Projects
Following on the success of the first edition, this book is fully updated, covering the latest additions to LTE and the key features of LTE–Advanced.
This book builds on the success of its predecessor, offering the same comprehensive system–level understanding built on explanations of the underlying theory, now expanded to include complete coverage of Release 9 and the developing specifications for LTE–Advanced. The book is a collaborative effort of more than 40 key experts representing over 20 companies actively participating in the development of LTE, as well as academia. The book highlights practical implications, illustrates the expected performance, and draws comparisons with the well–known WCDMA/HSPA standards. The authors not only pay special attention to the physical layer, giving an insight into the fundamental concepts of OFDMA–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 New Features:
- Comprehensively updated with the latest changes of the LTE Release 8 specifications, including improved coverage of Radio Resource Management RF aspects and performance requirements
- Provides detailed coverage of the new LTE Release 9 features, including: eMBMS, dual–layer beamforming, user equipment positioning, home eNodeBs / femtocells and pico cells and self–optimizing networks
- Evaluates the LTE system performance
- Introduces LTE–Advanced, explaining its context and motivation, as well as the key new features including: carrier aggregation, relaying, high–order MIMO, and Cooperative Multi–Point transmission (CoMP).
- Includes an accompanying website containing a complete list of acronyms related to LTE and LTE–Advanced, with a brief description of each (http://www.wiley.com/go/sesia—theumts)
This book is an invaluable reference for all research and development engineers involved in implementation of LTE or LTE–Advanced, as well as graduate and PhD students in wireless communications. Network operators, service providers and R&D managers will also find this book insightful.

Many authors, each experts in their field and often active participants in 3GPP, have contributed chapters of this book. The three editors have successfully pulled these contributions together to give the book a coherent feel. In my view the distinguishing feature of this book compared to others on the subject is the depth of coverage of the of the system architecture and radio interface protocols - this is arranged in a logical 'top down' structure by starting with the architecture and protocols before moving on to the physical layer technologies. However, if the physical layer is the area of most interest to you then you can rest assured that this still has expert in depth coverage.

Format:Hardcover
This book provides very useful information for beginners as well as for experienced engineers about LTE. It provides a comprehensive review about the technology: theory to standardisation and its application. Physical layer description and simulation results are very useful for benchmarking LTE performance. Information about the higher layers are equally very useful. It is a very well written book. Authors have presented complex technical information in a way that flowed smoothly and easy to follow. I can recommend this book for anyone who wants to have a good understanding about LTE.

Comprehensive and unique
23 April 2009
Format:Hardcover
As a newcomer to standardisation work, this book has proven invaluable and my only regret is that it wasn't available when I first started work on LTE about a year ago. The book has saved me hours of tedious scouring of standards text. In this respect it is valuable both for people who are in telcos management and need an overview of LTE, as well as standards engineers who are well acquainted with the topic as it will prepare them for a more in-depth look into LTE.
Some highlights include:
1. A great introductory overview of the evolution to 4G, impartial and technically sound.
2. An in-depth analysis of the physical layer of LTE. The details include state-of-the-art simulation results and highlight the technical achievements that make the promised transfer rates and quality of service possible. The results are preceded by background theory. I found the parts on OFDM and MIMO as key enablers particularly succinct and useful. Some abstract terms, such as the notion of control channels and antenna ports, are explained in a lucid and easy-to-follow way, showing you not just what LTE mandates, but also why it is designed the way it is and what the engineering drivers behind it are.
3. An overview of higher layers, more than enough to understand how the layered paradigm is implemented in LTE.
4. The consistency of the book throughout. In my opinion you rarely see books with so many contributing authors that flow as well as this one does. Clearly, a lot of effort went into maintaining a unified style and approach, and it was well worth it.
The editors-authors are active contributors to 3GPP standardisation, and so are most of the contributing authors (with some input from academia), representing many different companies. The book therefore has a unique quality of being impartial while coming straight from the source. While only a couple of pages long, the final chapter examines the future evolution of LTE: LTE-Advanced. Thoroughly recommended.

LTE, The UMTS Long Term Evolution: From Theory to Practice
6 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover
This is a comprehensive book that covers all essential issues of LTE that are necessary in order to master this fascinating field. Key technologies are presented such as OFDM/OFDMA, SC-FDMA, Radio resource management, MIMO, ......The structure of the book is coherent in the sequence as well as the type of topics it covers: in part 1, the book covers LTE network architecture and protocols for both the control plane as well as the user plan; Part II, III cover the physical layer aspects of the Uplink and the down link in details; part IV talks about the practical deployment aspects. I strongly recommend the book for graduate students and for professionals who are working in this field. The book is an excellent reference to have at your desk for LTE standards and related issues.

Great book
14 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The only thing that has been an issue to me is that it was a bit short on TDD. However, I do consider the book a must have for those that want an answer to the why as much as more as to the how of the standard.
