Zarrinkoub H. Understanding LTE with MatLAB: From Mathematical Modeling to Simulation and Prototyping

Wiley, 2014. — 512 p. — ISBN: 1118443411, 9781118443415An 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 FeaturesAccessible, 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
