Book description
LTE- A and Next Generation Wireless Networks: Channel Modeling and
Performance describes recent advances in propagation and channel
modeling necessary for simulating next generation wireless systems.
Due to the radio spectrum scarcity, two fundamental changes are
anticipated compared to the current status. Firstly, the strict
reservation of a specific band for a unique standard could evolve
toward a priority policy allowing the co-existence of secondary users
in a band allocated to a primary system. Secondly, a huge increase of
the number of cells is expected by combining outdoor base stations
with smaller cells such as pico/femto cells and relays. This evolution
is accompanied with the emergence of cognitive radio that becomes a
reality in terminals together with the development of
self-organization capabilities and distributed cooperative behaviors.
The book is divided into three parts:
- Part I addresses the fundamentals (e. g. technologies, channel
modeling principles etc.)
- Part II addresses propagation and modeling discussing topics such
as indoor propagation, outdoor propagation, etc.
- Part III explores system performance and applications (e. g. MIMO
Over-the-air testing, electromagnetic safety, etc).
