illustrations, graphs and real-life scenarios, the authors
systematically lead readers through this cutting-edge topic to provide
an outlook on existing technologies as well as possible future developments.
The book is structured to follow the main technical areas that will
be enhanced by the LTE-Advanced specifications. The main topics
covered include: Carrier Aggregation; Multiantenna MIMO Transmission,
Heterogeneous Networks; Coordinated Multipoint Transmission (CoMP);
Relay nodes; 3GPP milestones and IMT-Advanced process in ITU-R; and
LTE-Advanced Performance Evaluation.
Key features:
- Leading author and editor team bring their expertise to the next
generation of LTE technology
- Includes tables, figures and plots illustrating the concepts or
simulation results, to aid understanding of the topic, and enabling
readers to be ahead of the technological advances
