Based on the bestseller "3G Evolution - HSPA and LTE for mobile broadband" and reflecting the ongoing success of LTE throughout the world, this book focuses on LTE with full updates including LTE-Advanced to provide a complete picture of the LTE system. Overview and detailed explanations are given for the latest LTE standards for radio interface architecture, the physical layer, access procedures, broadcast, relaying, spectrum and RF characteristics, and system performance. Key technologies presented include multi-carrier transmission, advanced single-carrier transmission, advanced receivers, OFDM, MIMO and adaptive antenna solutions, advanced radio resource management and protocols, and different radio network architectures. Their role and use in the context of mobile broadband access in general is explained. Both a high-level overview and more detailed step-by-step explanations of the LTE/LTE-Advanced implementation are given. An overview of other related systems such as GSM/EDGE, HSPA, CDMA2000, and WIMAX is also provided. This book is a 'must-have' resource for engineers and other professionals in the telecommunications industry, working with cellular or wireless broadband technologies, giving an understanding of how to utilize the new technology in order to stay ahead of the competition. The authors of the book all work at Ericsson Research and have been deeply involved in 3G and 4G development and standardisation since the early days of 3G research. They are leading experts in the field and are today still actively contributing to the standardisation of LTE within 3GPP. Includes full details of the latest additions to the LTE Radio Access standards and technologies up to and including 3GPP Release 10Clear explanations of the role of the underlying technologies for LTE, including OFDM and MIMO Full coverage of LTE-Advanced, including LTE carrier aggregation, extended multi-antenna transmission, relaying functionality and heterogeneous deploymentsLTE radio interface architecture, physical layer, access procedures, MBMS, RF characteristics and system performance covered in detailread more

Can operators simply share millimeter wave spectrum licenses
TL;DR: It is shown that shared licenses can use a smaller bandwidth to achieve the same per-user median rate as providers with an exclusive spectrum license, which implies that the optimal amount of spectrum sharing depends on the target rate.

Firefly Algorithm for Joint Estimation of Frequency Offsets and Channel in OFDMA Uplink
TL;DR: This paper proposes to apply a recently-developed meta-heuristic algorithm called the firefly algorithm (FA) for the estimation of required parameters in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) uplink, and introduces a new initialization procedure based on the separability of cost functions, which drastically reduces its computational complexity.

Massive Random Access of Machine-to-Machine Communications in LTE Networks: Throughput Optimization With a Finite Data Transmission Rate
TL;DR: Both the maximum access throughput and the corresponding optimal Access Class Barring (ACB) factor are obtained as explicit functions of the data transmission rate, which show that even with the ACB factor optimally tuned, the access throughput may deteriorate as the number of MTDs increases, and even drop to zero if the data Transmission rate is too small.

A Cost Function Based Prioritization Method for Smart Grid Communication Network
TL;DR: A priority table is defined in which the nodes and the CTs are put in order, based on their weights, and the numerical results show that the proposed method allows selecting the best CT for each type of SG nodes.
Estimation of Inverse Models Applied to Power Amplifier Predistortion
TL;DR: This thesis investigates the estimation of inverse models for power amplifier predistortion, and it is shown in a small linear example that a direct estimation of the inverse can be advantageous, when the inverse is supposed to be used in cascade with the system to reconstruct the input.
