Holma H., Toskala A. LTE for UMTS Evolution to LTE-Advanced

2nd Ed. — Wiley, 2011. — 559 p. — ISBN: 978-0-470-66000-3The number of mobile subscribers has increased tremendously in recent years. Voice
communication has become mobile in a massive way and the mobile is the preferred
method of voice communication. At the same time data usage has grown quickly in
networks where 3GPP High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) was introduced, indicating
that the users find broadband wireless data valuable. Average data consumption exceeds
hundreds of megabytes and even a few gigabytes per subscriber per month. End users
expect data performance similar to fixed lines. Operators request high data capacity with
low cost of data delivery. 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is designed to meet those
targets. The first commercial LTE networks have shown attractive performance in the
field with data rates of several tens of mbps. This book presents 3GPP LTE standard in
Release 8 and describes its expected performance.LTE Standardization
