Written by the leading experts in the field, the best selling book on UMTS is now updated to cover 3GPP High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) evolution (HSPA+) in Release 7 and on-going Long Term Evolution (LTE) activity for Release 8. These technologies enhance the capabilities of the existing WCDMA/HSPA networks to offer higher data rates beyond 100 Mbps.
WCDMA for UMTS, Fourth Edition also covers 3GPP WCDMA Release 99, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) in Release 5 and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) in Release 6, which are already deployed commercially. Multimedia Broadcast Multicast System (MBMS) is also described in detail.
Key updates include:
* Continues to provide both updated descriptions of the 3GPP standard as well as the latest end user and system performance estimates
* Updated HSDPA and HSUPA, including link budgets and Iub dimensioning
* Detailed MBMS description
* 3GPP Release 7 HSPA evolution full description
* 3GPP Release 8 LTE overall description and 3GPP schedule
* Dedicated chapter on terminal design challenges for the new high speed radio technologies
Written by leading experts in the field, the firstedition of WCDMA for UMTS quickly became established as the best-selling and most highly respected book on the air interface of 3G cellular systems. Fully revised and updated, the fourth edition now covers the key features of 3GPP Release '7 ensuring its position as the leading principal resource in this constantly progressing area. Follows on from three highly successful new editions and one revised edition which have sold in excess of 36,500 copies in their six year lifespan This latest edition contains three new chapters and approx. 70 pages of new material covering the key features of 3GPP Release 7, and introducing the principles of Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3GPP Release 8. High speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) of 3GPP Release 6 Multimedia broadcast multicast system (MBMS) of 3GPP Release 6 Basic principles of Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3GPP Release 8Three new chapters have been added, enabling this reference to remainas the leading text in the area:Highlights: Covers WCDMA, High speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), High speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) and Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast System (MBMS) solutions Analyses HSDPA simulations and field measurements Introduces details of HSUPA concept and expected data rates Presents HSPA evolution in Release 7 including delay optimization and VoIP support Covers MBMS architecture and performance
