Understanding LTE with MATLAB (ePub)

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

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

This book examines the Physical Layer (PHY) of the LTE standards
by incorporating three conceptual elements: an overview of the
theory behind key enabling technologies; a concise discussion
regarding standard specifications; and the MATLAB® algorithms
needed to simulate the standard.

The use of MATLAB®, a widely used technical computing
language, is one of the distinguishing features of this book.
Through a series of MATLAB® programs, the author explores each
of the enabling technologies, pedagogically synthesizes an LTE PHY
system model, and evaluates system performance at each stage.
Following this step-by-step process, readers will achieve deeper
understanding of LTE concepts and specifications through
simulations.

Key Features:

* Accessible, intuitive, and progressive; one of the few
books to focus primarily on the modeling, simulation, and
implementation of the LTE PHY standard

* Includes case studies and testbenches in MATLAB®,
which build knowledge gradually and incrementally until a
functional specification for the LTE PHY is attained

* Accompanying Web site includes all MATLAB® programs,
together with PowerPoint slides and other illustrative examples
