The book is a collaborative effort of more than 40 key experts representing over 20 companies actively participating in the development of LTE, as well as academia. The book highlights practical implications, illustrates the expected performance, and draws comparisons with the well-known WCDMA\/HSPA standards. The authors not only pay special attention to the physical layer, giving an insight into the fundamental concepts of OFDMA-FDMA and MIMO, but also cover the higher protocol layers and system architecture to enable the reader to gain an overall understanding of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey New Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensively updated with the latest changes of the LTE Release 8 specifications, including improved coverage of Radio Resource Management RF aspects and performance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides detailed coverage of the new LTE Release 9 features, including: eMBMS, dual-layer beamforming, user equipment positioning, home eNodeBs \/ femtocells and pico cells and self-optimizing networks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEvaluates the LTE system performance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces LTE-Advanced, explaining its context and motivation, as well as the key new features including: carrier aggregation, relaying, high-order MIMO, and Cooperative Multi-Point transmission (CoMP).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes an accompanying website containing a complete list of acronyms related to LTE and LTE-Advanced, with a brief description of each (http: \/\/www.wiley.com\/go\/sesia_theumts)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is an invaluable reference for all research and development engineers involved in implementation of LTE or LTE-Advanced, as well as graduate and PhD students in wireless communications.
