The aim of this book is to give an integrated presentation of the
specifications for Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE Advanced radio
interfaces, so that the reader can gain an overview of their main
characteristics.
This books attempts to provide an extensive overview on Long-Term Evolution
(LTE) networks. Understanding LTE and its Performance is purposely written to
appeal to a broad audience and to be of value to anyone who is interested in 3GPP
LTE or wireless broadband networks more generally. The aim of th ...
Microwave radio network design is a subset of activities that constitute
the overall transmission network design. Transmission networks are
sometimes called transport networks, access networks, or connectivity
networks. For many wireless carriers, microwave is becoming a popu-
lar preference over wi ...
Mobile and wireless application development has come a long way in the past few
years. It has progressed beyond the hype of wireless Web applications for consumers
to the reality of high-value mobile applications for corporate users. Opportunities
abound for creating new mobile and wireless applicat ...
Smartphones have become a key element in providing greater user access to the
mobile Internet. Many complex applications which used to be limited to PCs, have
been developed and operated on smartphones. These applications extend the
functionalities of smartphones, making them more convenient for use ...
This book is about multipoint cooperative communication, a key technology to
overcome the long-standing problem of limited transmission rate caused by inter-
point interference. However, the multipoint cooperative communication is not an
isolated technology. Instead, it covers a vast range of resear ...
Mobile wireless communications are in constant evolution due to the continu-
ously increasing requirements and expectations of both users and operators.
Mass multimedia* services have been for a long time expected to generate a large
amount of data traffic in future wireless networks [1]. Mass multi ...
In the past few decades, a technological revolution has occurred that has changed
the way we live in dramatic ways. This technological revolution is the result of
the emergence and evolution of a wide variety of new wireless networking tech-
nologies. Now people using these technologies are able to ...
Optical wireless communication is an emerging and dynamic research and development
area that has generated a vast number of interesting solutions to very complicated
communication challenges. For example, high data rate, high capacity and minimum
interference links for short-range communication for ...
The roots of this book were planted about a decade ago. At that time, I became
increasingly convinced that wide-area and metropolitan-area networks, where much
of my group’s research has been centered at that time, were in good shape. Although
research in these fields was (and still is) needed, tha ...
