A timely addition to the understanding of IMT-Advanced, this book places
particular emphasis on the new areas which IMT-Advanced technologies
rely on compared with their predecessors. These latest areas include
Radio Resource Management, Carrier Aggregation, improved MIMO support
and Relaying.Each technique is thoroughly described and illustrated
before being surveyed in context of the LTE-Advanced standards. The book
also presents state-of-the-art information on the different aspects of
the work of standardization bodies (such as 3GPP and IEEE), making
global links between them.
Explores the latest research innovations to
assess the future of the LTE standardCovers the latest research
techniques for beyond IMT-Advanced such as Coordinated multi-point
systems (CoMP), Network Coding, Device-to-Device and Spectrum
SharingContains key information for researchers from academia and
industry, engineers, regulators and decision makers working on
LTE-Advanced and beyond.
