LTE and the Evolution to 4G Wireless (ePub)

A practical guide to LTE design, test and measurement, this
new edition has been updated to include the latest
developments

This book presents the latest details on LTE from a practical
and technical perspective. Written by Agilent's measurement
experts, it offers a valuable insight into LTE technology and its
design and test challenges. Chapters cover the upper layer
signaling and system architecture evolution (SAE). Basic concepts
such as MIMO and SC-FDMA, the new uplink modulation scheme, are
introduced and explained, and the authors look into the challenges
of verifying the designs of the receivers, transmitters and
protocols of LTE systems. The latest information on RF and
signaling conformance testing is delivered by authors participating
in the LTE 3GPP standards committees.

This second edition has been considerably revised to reflect the
most recent developments of the technologies and standards.
Particularly important updates include an increased focus on
LTE-Advanced as well as the latest testing specifications.
