TLDR
In this article, the authors focus on LTE with full updates including LTE-Advanced to provide a complete picture of the LTE system, including the physical layer, access procedures, broadcast, relaying, spectrum and RF characteristics, and system performance.Abstract:
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

Adaptive Caching via Deep Reinforcement Learning.
TL;DR: To model the two-way interactive influence between caching decisions at the parent and leaf nodes, a reinforcement learning framework is put forth and the novel approach relies on a deep Q-network to learn the Q-function, and thus the optimal caching policy, in an online fashion.

VM2M: An overlay network to support Vehicular traffic over LTE
TL;DR: It is found that the format PF = 2 is capable but not ideal for handling large amount of CCH traffic due to repeated preamble transmissions in H2H layer; better results may be obtained if the frequency of RACH subframe allocation for CCH is increased, or a larger number of preambles is used at the physical layer of C CH.

Performance Analysis and Optimisation of FFR-Aided OFDMA Networks using Channel-Aware Scheduling
TL;DR: An analytical framework allowing the downlink performance evaluation of FFR-aided OFDMA networks when using channel-aware scheduling policies, which contemplates the use of different rate allocation strategies, thus allowing to assess the network behaviour under ideal or realistic conditions.
