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

Relay placement for inter-band carrier aggregation with asymmetrical coverage
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new approach of relay placement to enhance the capacity of cell edge user in inter-band carrier aggregation scenario with asymmetrical coverage, where relay can be used to solve the problem of capacity fairness for non-overlapped region produced by the lower frequency component carrier in interband aggregation.

Bounded selective spanning with extended fast enumeration for MIMO-OFDM systems detection
Yun Wu,John McAllister +1 more
TL;DR: A new variant of SSFE is presented which, by employing novel fast symbol enumeration and modulation dictionary spanning heuristics, increases performance and computational efficiency to the point where very substantial reductions in resource can be achieved without impacting detection accuracy relative to SSFE.

mmHandover: a pre-connection based handover protocol for 5G millimeter wave vehicular networks
TL;DR: A real-time handover protocol called mmHandover for 5G mmWave vehicular networks leveraging mmWave antennae is proposed, which greatly reduces the delay from more than 5000µs to about 1000µS and helps address the delay gap which will get widened coupled with increase in the number of vehicles.
