"A comprehensive summary of theoretical and practical developments in LTE Heterogeneous Networks"

The last decade has witnessed the proliferation of mobile broadband data and the trend is likely to increase in the coming years. Current cellular networks are ill equipped to deal with this surge in demand. To satisfy user demand and maximize profits, a new paradigm to operate networks is needed. Heterogeneous networks, that deploy an overlay of small cells with limited coverage and transmit power, over a macro coverage area is the solution by providing capacity and coverage where it is needed.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of small cell based heterogeneous networks within the framework of 3GPP LTE-Advanced which is the major enabler of current and future heterogeneous networks. The book first establishes the basics of LTE standards 8 -10. Wherever relevant, the underlying theory of wireless communications is explained and the signaling and protocol aspects of LTE Releases 8-10 are presented. Next the book presents a systematic study of the inter cell interference (eICIC and FeICIC) mechanisms that have been standardized in LTE releases 10 and 11 to mitigate the interference arising in heterogeneous networks. From simple blank subframe design and implementation, the book discusses more advanced transceiver signal processing and carrier aggregation (CA) based mechanisms to improve performance. Besides data, control channel enhancements such as enhanced PDCCH (ePDCCH) are also discussed.

Subsequently the book discusses the possibility of base stations being allowed to coordinate to manage interference. This technique, called CoMP, has the potential of vastly improving network performance. However several practical challenges first have to be overcome before this potential can be realized. The book presents the different CoMP categories introduced in LTE release 11, the required signal processing and the changes that were introduced in Release-11 for supporting CoMP. The book then presents the state of the art developments in heterogeneous networks that are currently taking place in 3GPP with the initiation of Release 12. A whole array of new technologies have been introduced such as dynamic switching of small cells, new carrier types with reduced control signaling, dynamic reconfiguration of TDD-LTE, joint configuration of TDD and FDD via carrier aggregation and lastly advanced MIMO signal processing with three dimensional beamforming. All these technologies will work in unison leading to efficient operations of small cells.

The authors thus comprehensively summarize the advances in heterogeneous networks over the last couple of years as reflected in various LTE releases and then look ahead at what to expect in the future. Fully illustrated throughout and with an accompanying website including Matlab code for simulating heterogeneous networks, LTE channel models, and References to 3GPP specifications, contributions, and updates on recent standardization activities. The authors, being involved in LTE standardization, are well placed to give an excellent view on this topic, including valuable background and design rationale. A comprehensive summary of wireless communications theory and practical developments in LTE heterogeneous networks. Authors are experts in this field and are active members in standardization proceedings, enabling up-to-date coverage of current developments Multiple case studies explain network design optimization of various heterogeneous network deployments. Accompanying website includes Matlab code for simulating heterogeneous networks, LTE channel models, and References to 3GPP specifications, contributions, and updates on recent standardization activities

Essential reading for Engineers and practitioners in wireless industry.

From reader reviews:

John Krumm:

In other case, little persons like to read book Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced. You can choose the best book if you'd prefer reading a book. Providing we know about how is important the book Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced. You can add knowledge and of course you can around the world by a book. Absolutely right, simply because from book you can learn everything! From your country until finally foreign or abroad you can be known. About simple thing until wonderful thing you are able to know that. In this era, we could open a book or maybe searching by internet gadget. It is called e-book. You should use it when you feel bored to go to the library. Let's go through.

Pamela Guarino:

The book Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced can give more knowledge and information about everything you want. Why then must we leave the great thing like a book Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced? A few of you have a different opinion about guide. But one aim which book can give many info for us. It is absolutely proper. Right now, try to closer with the book. Knowledge or data that you take for that, you may give for each other; you are able to share all of these. Book Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced has simple shape but you know: it has great and large function for you. You can appearance the enormous world by open and read a e-book. So it is very wonderful.

Thomas Morgan:

What do you concerning book? It is not important to you? Or just adding material when you need something to explain what you problem? How about your extra time? Or are you busy man or woman? If you don't have spare time to do others business, it is make you feel bored faster. And you have time? What did you do? Everyone has many questions above. They need to answer that question simply because just their can do in which. It said that about guide. Book is familiar in each person. Yes, it is proper. Because start from on pre-school until university need this kind of Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced to read.

Roberta Anglin:

Reading can called imagination hangout, why? Because when you find yourself reading a book specifically book entitled Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced your thoughts will drift away trough every dimension, wandering in each aspect that maybe not known for but surely will end up your mind friends. Imaging each word written in a book then become one contact form conclusion and explanation this maybe you never get before. The Heterogeneous Networks in LTE-Advanced giving you yet another experience more than blown away your mind but also giving you useful information for your better life with this era. So now let us explain to you the relaxing pattern here is your body and mind will probably be pleased when you are finished looking at it, like winning a. Do you want to try this extraordinary spending spare time activity?
