LTE for UMTS – OFDMA and SC-FDMA Based Radio Access LTE

LTE can access a very large global market – not only GSM/UMTS operators, but also CDMA operators and potentially also fi xed network service providers. The potential market can attract a large number of companies to the market place pushing the economies of scale which enable wide scale LTE adoption with lower cost. This book is particularly designed for chip set and mobile vendors, network vendors, network operators, application developers, technology managers and regulators who would like to get a deeper understanding of LTE
technology and its capabilities.
