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.

Written by experts actively involved in the 3GPP standards and product development, LTE for UMTS, Second Edition gives a complete and up-to-date overview of Long Term Evolution (LTE) in a systematic and clear manner. Building upon on the success of the first edition, LTE for UMTS, Second Edition has been revised to now contain improved coverage of the Release 8 LTE details, including field performance results, transport network, self optimized networks and also covering the enhancements done in 3GPP Release 9. This new edition also provides an outlook to Release 10, including the overview of Release 10 LTE-Advanced technology components which enable reaching data rates beyond 1 Gbps. Key updates for the second edition of LTE for UMTS are focused on the new topics from Release 9 & 10, and include: LTE-Advanced; Self optimized networks (SON); Transport network dimensioning; Measurement results.

This book explains the basic components, technologies used, and operation of UMTS LTE systems. You will discover why mobile telephone service providers are upgrading their 2nd and 3rd generation digital mobile systems to more efficient and feature rich UMTS LTE systems. Discover the key features that UMTS LTE systems provide that go beyond the capabilities of existing 2G and 3G mobile systems such as ultra high-speed Internet (100 Mbps+), television (multicast video), and low latency services (packet voice). Explained are the physical and logical radio channel structures of the UMTS LTE systems along with the basic frame and slot structures. Described are the fundamental capabilities and operation of the UMTS LTE radio channel including channel coding, modulation types, low-latency transmission and how transmission reliability is improved using MIMO technology. You will discover the key functional sections of UMTS LTE networks and how they communicate with each other. Learn how and why UMTS LTE systems separate control channels from user data channels. Learn how UMTS LTE systems can co-exist and interoperate with existing mobile systems which simplify the migration plan from less efficient mobile systems to more cost effective and capable UMTS LTE systems. Learn how spatial division multiple access (SDMA) can be used by UMTS LTE systems to provide dramatic increases in system capacity. The evolution of 3G systems into UMTS LTE systems explained. Some of the most important topics featured in this book are: How UMTS LTE systems operate UMTS LTE voice, data, and multimedia services The types of UMTS LTE products and their uses The UMTS LTE radio channel structure The types of physical and logical channels UMTS LTE network components and interfaces Evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (E-MBMS) Location based services (LBS) IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) UMTS LTE technology evolution to in4G

LTE – The UMTS Long Term Evolution, Third Edition builds on the success of the previous editions, explaining the specification and the rationale behind the choices which have been made in 3GPP, to give the reader a detailed insight into the evaluations and trade-offs which lie behind the technology choices in LTE. As the specifications continue to develop, as new releases are produced, this third edition is fully updated to cover Release 11 and 12, including the following: enhanced control channel, more detailed coverage of cooperative networks, more detailed coverage of inter cell interference coordination and its extension to new releases (ICIC, eICIC, FeICIC), small cells and new channel models, new carrier types, etc. The book is slightly re-organized in order to divide the content per topic rather than per release (in previous edition Rel-8-9 was separated with regards to Rel-10). The theoretical background is considered a key aspect in this third edition (as for the previous editions); however, some parts of the original theoretical treatment from the previous editions may be a bit shortened to allow for the introduction of new features which have been recently developed.

From the editors of the highly successful WCDMA for UMTS, this new book gives a complete and up-to-date overview of Long Term Evolution (LTE) in a systematic and clear manner. It starts with an in-depth explanation of the background and standardization process before moving on to examine the system architecture evolution (SAE). The basics of air interface modulation choices are introduced and key subjects such as 3GPP LTE physical layer and protocol solutions are described. Mobility aspects and radio resource management together with radio and end-to-end performance are assessed. The voice solution and voice capacity in LTE are also illustrated. Finally, the main differences between LTE TDD and FDD modes are examined and HSPA evolution in 3GPP Releases 7 and 8 is described. LTE for UMTS is one of the first books to provide a comprehensive guide to the standards and technologies of LTE. Key features of the book include: Covers all the key aspects of LTE in a systematic manner Presents full description of 3GPP Release 8 LTE Examines the expected performance of LTE Written by experts actively involved in the 3GPP standards and product development.
