WiMAX Act 2: 802.16m provides evolution path to 4G
As current-generation 802.16e mobile WiMAX networks are deployed globally, work continues on the next generation of the technology known as 802.16m, which will provide greater performance, capacity and flexibility over existing legacy networks. More...2010 Wireless Industry Outlook
While the general sentiment for the passing of 2009 has been "thank God that's over," the year ahead will be characterized as one of steady progress but will fall far short of euphoric growth. More...Nortel unveils commercially available 100G optical system
Nortel says it has unveiled the industry's first commercially available 100G solution and announced that Verizon has deployed the system in its live customer network in Europe. More...Mobile WiMAX at 3.5 GHz starting to take off
European operators are leveraging improvements in technology and 3.5GHz spectrum to offer true mobile WiMAX networks. New operators such as Imagine Communications in Ireland begin the launch of nation-wide coverage. More...Deploying Mobile Wimax
Deploying Mobile WiMAX examines the challenges of deployment and integration of Mobile WiMAX with and within established telecommunication infrastructure. Radio and network functionality is described in relation to the benefits for the network performance and the service offering to the user. Links between the WiMAX layers are explored making it unique from other titles on the market which focus more on the lower and MAC layers of the WiMAX system, without looking more into the details of the internetworking aspects.The book is an illustrated introductory handbook which provides the essential basic principles without overwhelming descriptions of every detail and option. It provides an overview of the key components of the technology within the access network while also examining the air interface. It explains the rationales behind the applied design principles and drafts outlooks into future enhancements of Mobile WiMAX.
- Written by leading experts in the field who are active members of the WiMAX Forum.
- One of the first texts to explore links between the upper and lower WiMAX layers.
- Identifies and explains the technical challenges of integrating Mobile WiMAX with and within established telecommunication networks.
- Concisely written and highly illustrated to make the book user-friendly.
LTE - The UMTS Long Term Evolution
LTE - The UMTS Long Term Evolution: From Theory to Practice provides the reader with a comprehensive system-level understanding of LTE, built on explanations of the theories which underlie it. The book is the product of a collaborative effort of key experts representing a wide range of companies actively participating in the development of LTE, as well as academia. This gives the book a broad, balanced and reliable perspective on this important technology. Lucid yet thorough, the book devotes particular effort to explaining the theoretical concepts in an accessible way, while retaining scientific rigour. It highlights practical implications and draws comparisons with the well-known WCDMA/HSPA standards. The authors not only pay special attention to the physical layer, giving insight into the fundamental concepts of OFDMA, SC-FDMA and MIMO, but also cover the higher protocol layers and system architecture to enable the reader to gain an overall understanding of the system.Key Features:
- Draws on the breadth of experience of a wide range of key experts from both industry and academia, giving the book a balanced and broad perspective on LTE
- Provides a detailed description and analysis of the complete LTE system, especially the ground-breaking new physical layer
- Offers a solid treatment of the underlying advances in fundamental communications and information theory on which LTE is based
- Addresses practical issues and implementation challenges related to the deployment of LTE as a cellular system
- Includes an accompanying website containing a complete list of acronyms related to LTE, with a brief description of each
- This book is an invaluable reference for all research and development engineers involved in LTE implementation, as well as graduate and PhD students in wireless communications. Network operators, service providers and R&D managers will also find this book insightful.
