LTE for 4G Mobile Broadband

The book provides detailed coverage of the air-interface technologies and protocols that withstood the scrutiny of the highly sophisticated technology evaluation process typically used in the 3GPP physical layer working group.We describe why certain technology choices were made in the standard development process and how each of the technology components selected contributes to the overall system performance improvement.As such, the book serves as a valuable reference for system designers and researchers not directly involved in the standard development phase.
