This very up-to-date and practical book, written by engineers working
closely in 3GPP, gives insight into the newest technologies and
standards adopted by 3GPP, with detailed explanations of the specific
solutions chosen and their implementation in HSPA and LTE. The key
technologies presented include multi-carrier transmission, advanced
single-carrier transmission, advanced receivers, OFDM, MIMO and adaptive
antenna solutions, advanced radio resource management and protocols, and
different radio network architectures. Their role and use in the context
of mobile broadband access in general is explained. Both a high-level
overview and more detailed step-by-step explanations of HSPA and LTE
implementation are given. An overview of other related systems such as
TD SCDMA, CDMA2000, and WIMAX is also provided. This is a must-have
resource for engineers and other professionals working with cellular or
wireless broadband technologies who need to know how to utilize the new
technology to stay ahead of the competition. The authors of the book all
work at Ericsson Research and are deeply involved in 3G development and
standardisation since the early days of 3G research. They are leading
experts in the field and are today still actively contributing to the
standardisation of both HSPA and LTE within 3GPP.

* Gives the first explanation of the radio access technologies and key
international standards for moving to the next stage of 3G evolution:
fully operational mobile broadband
* Describes the new technologies selected by the 3GPP to realise High
Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) for mobile
broadband
* Gives both higher-level overviews and detailed explanations of HSPA
and LTE as specified by 3GPP
