LTE for UMTS 
OFDMA and SC-FDMA Based Radio Access

From the editors of the highly successful WCDMA for UMTS,
this new book gives a complete and up-to-date overview of Long Term
Evolution (LTE) in a systematic and clear manner. It starts with an
in-depth explanation of the background and standardization process
before moving on to examine the system architecture evolution
(SAE). The basics of air interface modulation choices are
introduced and key subjects such as 3GPP LTE physical layer and
protocol solutions are described. Mobility aspects and radio
resource management together with radio and end-to-end performance
are assessed. The voice solution and voice capacity in LTE are also
illustrated. Finally, the main differences between LTE TDD and FDD
modes are examined and HSPA evolution in 3GPP Releases 7 and 8 is
described.

LTE for UMTS is one of the first books to provide a
comprehensive guide to the standards and technologies of LTE. Key
features of the book include:

* Covers all the key aspects of LTE in a systematic manner

* Presents full description of 3GPP Release 8 LTE

* Examines the expected performance of LTE

Written by experts actively involved in the 3GPP standards and
product development.
