Understanding LTE with MATLAB (PDF)

An introduction to technical details related to the PhysicalLayer of the LTE standard with MATLAB®

The LTE (Long Term Evolution) and LTE-Advanced are among thelatest mobile communications standards, designed to realize thedream of a truly global, fast, all-IP-based, secure broadbandmobile access technology.

This book examines the Physical Layer (PHY) of the LTE standardsby incorporating three conceptual elements: an overview of thetheory behind key enabling technologies; a concise discussionregarding standard specifications; and the MATLAB® algorithmsneeded to simulate the standard.

The use of MATLAB®, a widely used technical computinglanguage, is one of the distinguishing features of this book.Through a series of MATLAB® programs, the author explores eachof the enabling technologies, pedagogically synthesizes an LTE PHYsystem model, and evaluates system performance at each stage.Following this step-by-step process, readers will achieve deeperunderstanding of LTE concepts and specifications throughsimulations.

Key Features:

* Accessible, intuitive, and progressive; one of the fewbooks to focus primarily on the modeling, simulation, andimplementation of the LTE PHY standard
* Includes case studies and testbenches in MATLAB®,which build knowledge gradually and incrementally until afunctional specification for the LTE PHY is attained
* Accompanying Web site includes all MATLAB® programs,together with PowerPoint slides and other illustrative examples
