An Introduction to LTE

An Introduction to LTE explains the technology used by 3GPPLong Term Evolution. The book covers the whole of LTE, both thetechniques used for radio communication between the base stationand the mobile phone, and the techniques used for signallingcommunication and data transport in the evolved packet core. Itavoids unnecessary detail, focussing instead on conveying a soundunderstanding of the entire system.
The book is aimed at mobile telecommunication professionals, whowant to understand what LTE is and how it works. It is invaluablefor engineers who are working on LTE, notably those who aretransferring from other technologies such as UMTS and cdma2000,those who are experts in one part of LTE but who want to understandthe system as a whole, and those who are new to mobiletelecommunications altogether. It is also relevant to those workingin non technical roles, such as project managers, marketingexecutives and intellectual property consultants. On completing thebook, the reader will have a clear understanding of LTE, and willbe able to tackle the more specialised books and the 3GPPspecifications with confidence.
