LTE-Advanced: A Practical Systems Approach to Understanding 3GPP LTE Releases 10 and 11 Radio Access Technologies

This book is an in-depth, systematic and structured technical reference on 3GPP's LTE-Advanced (Releases 10 and 11), covering theory, technology and implementation, written by an author who has been involved in the inception and development of these technologies for over 20 years. The book not only describes the operation of individual components, but also shows how they fit into the overall system and operate from a systems perspective. Uniquely, this book gives in-depth information on upper protocol layers, implementation and deployment issues, and services, making it suitable for engineers who are implementing the technology into future products and services. Reflecting the author's 25 plus years of experience in signal processing and communication system design, this book is ideal for professional engineers, researchers, and graduate students working in cellular communication systems, radio air-interface technologies, cellular communications protocols, advanced radio access technologies for beyond 4G systems, and broadband cellular standards. An end-to-end description of LTE/LTE-Advanced technologies using a top-down systems approach, providing an in-depth understanding of how the overall system worksCovers all essential system functionalities, features, and their inter-connections based on a clear protocol structureIncludes methodologies and results related to link-level and system-level evaluations of LTE-AdvancedProvides understanding and insight into the advanced underlying technologies in LTE-Advanced up to and including Release 11: multi-antenna signal processing, OFDM, carrier aggregation, coordinated multi-point transmission and reception, eICIC, multi-radio coexistence, E-MBMS, positioning methods, real-time and non-real-time wireless multimedia applications INDICE: PREFACE ABBREVIATIONS 1 INTRODUCTION TO LTE-ADVANCED 2 NETWORK ARCHITECTURE 3 E-UTRAN AND EPC PROTOCOL STRUCTURE 4 SYSTEM OPERATION AND UE STATES 5 RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL FUNCTIONS 6 PACKET DATA CONVERGENCE PROTOCOL FUNCTIONS 7 RADIO LINK CONTROL FUNCTIONS 8 MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL FUNCTIONS 9 DOWNLINK PHYSICAL LAYER FUNCTIONS 10 UPLINK PHYSICAL LAYER FUNCTIONS 11 LINK-LEVEL AND SYSTEM-LEVEL PERFORMANCE OF LTE-ADVANCED 12 COORDINATED MULTIPOINT TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION (COMP) 13 CARRIER AGGREGATION 14 ENHANCED INTER-CELL INTERFERENCE COORDINATION AND MULTI-RADIO COEXISTENCE 15 POSITIONING AND MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST/MULTICAST SERVICES
