Mobile and Wireless Communications for IMT-Advanced and Beyond

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. <p>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.</p> <ul> <li>Explores the latest research innovations to assess the future of the LTE standard</li> <li>Covers the latest research techniques for beyond IMT-Advanced such as Coordinated multi-point systems (CoMP), Network Coding, Device-to-Device and Spectrum Sharing</li> <li>Contains key information for researchers from academia and industry, engineers, regulators and decision makers working on LTE-Advanced and beyond</li> </ul>
