LTE-Advanced

A Systems Approach to Understanding the 3GPP Release 10 and Beyond Radio Access Technologies

Sassan Ahmadi, Chief Architect, Intel Corp., Santa Clara, CA, USA

This book is an in-depth, systematic and structured technical reference on 3GPPs LTE-Advanced (or LTE-Release 10 and beyond), covering theory, technologies and implementation, written by an author who has been involved in the inception and development of these technologies for nearly 20 years.

The book not only describes the operation of individual components but also shows how they fit into the 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 very suitable for engineers who are implementing the technology into future products and services
