4G: LTE Evolution and the Road to 5G is written by engineers working closely in 3GPP and gives insight into the newest technologies and standards adopted by 3GPP. Offers detailed explanations of the specific solutions chosen and their implementation in LTE and LTE-Advanced, while also providing a detailed description of the path to 5G and the associated underlying technologies. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the large changes to LTE-Advanced as specified in Releases 12 and 13. New to this edition is updated content on: 4G and 5G radio access; spectrum for 4G and 5G; machine-type communication; device-to-device communication; license-assisted access; discussion of small-cell enhancements, small-cell on/off, 256QAM, eIMTA, FDD+TDD aggregation, and dual connectivity. With the first specifications for 5G technologies to be available in 2018, the book discusses the likely path with three new chapters: Architecture Evolution towards 5G; Radio Evolution towards 5G; and 5G Technology Components. Offers the latest information on 3GPP specifications for LTE and LTE-Advanced covering Releases 12 and 13, written by Ericsson engineers who are heavily involved in the development of 3GPP standardsIncludes eight new chapters and coverage of all topics introduced with Release 12 and 13Features three chapters on 5G, covering architecture and radio evolution and 5G technology componentsIncludes updated content on: 4G and 5G radio access; spectrum for 4G and 5G; machine-type communication; device-to-device communication; license-assisted access; discussion of small-cell enhancements, small-cell on/off, 256QAM, eIMTA, FDD+TDD aggregation, and dual connectivity.
