In addition, the book focuses on the end-to-end aspects of the LTE network architecture and different deployment scenarios of commercial LTE networks. It describes the air interface of LTE focusing on the access stratum protocol layers: PDCP, RLC, MAC, and Physical Layer. The air interface described in this book covers the concepts of LTE frame structure, downlink and uplink scheduling, and detailed illustrations of the data flow across the protocol layers. It describes the details of the optimization process including performance measurements and troubleshooting mechanisms in addition to demonstrating common issues and case studies based on actual field results. The book provides detailed performance analysis of key features\/enhancements such as C-DRX for Smartphones battery saving, CSFB solution to support voice calls with LTE, and MIMO techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book presents analysis of LTE coverage and link budgets alongside a detailed comparative analysis with HSPA+. Practical link budget examples are provided for data and VoLTE scenarios. Furthermore, the reader is provided with a detailed explanation of capacity dimensioning of the LTE systems. The LTE capacity analysis in this book is presented in a comparative manner with reference to the HSPA+ network to benchmark the LTE network capacity. The book describes the voice options for LTE including VoIP protocol stack, IMS Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC). In addition, key VoLTE features are presented: Semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), TTI bundling, Quality of Service (QoS), VoIP with C-DRX, Robust Header Compression (RoHC), and VoLTE Vocoders and De-Jitter buffer. The book describes several LTE and LTE-A advanced features in the evolution from Release 8 to 10 including SON, eICIC, CA, CoMP, HetNet, Enhanced MIMO, Relays, and LBS.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book can be used as a reference for best practices in LTE networks design and deployment, performance analysis, and evolution strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConveys the theoretical background of 4G-LTE networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents key aspects and best practice of 4G-LTE networks design and deployment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a realistic roadmap for evolution of deployed 3G\/4G networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses the practical aspects for designing and deploying commercial LTE networks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyzes LTE coverage and link budgets, including a detailed comparative analysis with HSPA+.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReferences the best practices in LTE networks design and deployment, performance analysis, and evolution strategy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers infrastructure-sharing scenarios for CAPEX and OPEX saving.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides key practical aspects for supporting voice services over LTE, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for all 4G engineers\/designers working in networks design for operators, network deployment engineers, R\u0026amp;D engineers, telecom consulting firms, measurement\/performance tools firms, deployment subcontractors, senior undergraduate students and graduate students interested in understanding the practical aspects of 4G-LTE networks as part of their classes, research, or projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ayman Elnashar,Mohamed A.
