Fundamentals of LTE
Praise for
“Fundamentals of LTE is a clear yet detailed introduction to the 3GPP Long-Term
Evolution. I would recommend it both to those wishing to get up to speed on the fun-
damentals of LTE and those who are already involved but in need of a reference for this
critical technology.”
—Dr. Alan Gatherer
CTO of Baseband System-on-Chip
Huawei
“Excellent .... A comprehensive and in-depth treatment of what is likely to become the
dominant world broadband wireless standard.”
—Dr. Reinaldo Valenzuela
Director of Wireless Communications Research
Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent
“FundamentalsofLTE isawell-writtenandself-containedbookfeaturingauniqueblend
of leading industry and academic perspectives. Comprehensive and highly accessible.”
—Dr. Angel Lozano
Professor, Information & Communication Technologies
University of Pompeu, Fabra
“This book offers a good entry point to the world of LTE for newcomers, since it con-
tains useful background material for understanding the technology. It can serve as an
