As telecommunications operators and network engineers understand, specific operational requirements drive early network architectural and design decisions for 4G networks. But they also know that because technology, standards, usage practices, and regulatory regimes change on a continuous basis, so do best practices. 4G: Deployment Strategies and Operational Implications helps you stay up to date by providing the latest innovative and strategic thinking on 4G and LTE deployments. It evaluates specific design and deployment options in depth and offers roadmap evolution strategies for LTE network business development. Fortunately, as you’ll discover in this book, LTE is a robust and flexible standard for 4G communications. Operators developing 4G deployment strategies have many options, but they must consider the tradeoffs among them in order to maximize the return on investment for LTE networks. This book will show operators how to develop detailed but flexible deployment road maps incorporating business requirements while allowing the agility that expected and unexpected network evolution require. Such road maps help you avoid costly redeployment while leveraging profitable traffic. Telecommunications experts and authors Trichy Venkataraman Krishnamurthy and Rajaneesh Shetty examine various architectural options provided by the flexibility of LTE and their effect on the general current and future capability of the designed network. They examine specific features of the network, while covering specific architectural deployment strategies through example and then assessing their implications on both near- and long-term operations as well as potential evolutionary paths. Besides helping you understand and communicate network upgrade and architectural evolution road maps (with options), you will learn: How to plan for accessibility, retainability, integrity, availability, and mobility How to balance loads effectively How to manage the constraints arising from regulation and standardization How to manage the many disruptive factors affecting LTE networks 4G: Deployment Strategies and Operational Implications also outlines specific network strategies, which network features and deployment strategies support those strategies, and the trade-offs in business models depending on the strategies chosen. Best of all you will learn a process for proactive management of network road map evolution, ensuring that your network—and your skills—remain robust and relevant as the telecommunications landscape changes.

The key to a successful future mobile communication system lies in the design of its radio scheduler. One of the key challenges of the radio scheduler is how to provide the right balance between Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees and the overall system performance. Yasir Zaki proposes innovative solutions for the design of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio scheduler and presents several LTE radio scheduler analytical models that can be used as efficient tools for radio dimensioning. The author also introduces a novel wireless network virtualization framework and highlights the potential gains of using this framework for the future network operators. This framework enables the operators to share their resources and reduce their cost, thus achieving a better overall system performance and radio resource utilization.   Contents - Long Term Evolution (LTE) - LTE Radio Scheduler - Wireless Network Virtualization - Continuous Time Markov Chain (CTMC) - Radio Scheduler Analytical Models - LTE Network Simulator   Target Groups Researchers and students in the field of mobile communication networks, especially with a focus on radio access network design, wireless network virtualization, and radio access analytical modeling.   Author Dr. Yasir Zaki completed his doctoral degree at the Communication Networks Group of TZI (Center for Communication and Information Technology), University of Bremen, Germany. He is a senior researcher and a lecturer at the Communication Networks Group, working in the field of future mobile communications and wireless network virtualization.

Mobile communications technology is developing so rapidly that it seems a new breakthrough makes the headlines each week. Aimed at a wide audience, this book guides the reader through the complexities of Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. Advanced LTEs are set to play a central role in the rapid take-up of fourth-generation mobile services able to deliver download speeds of hundreds of megabits a second. Beginning with the basic principles of LTE networks, the text builds to in-depth coverage of more complex topics, including a detailed assessment of LTE release 8, which forms the baseline specification of LTE 3GPP, the set of standards laid down by the Third Generation Partnership Project. The wealth of subjects discussed includes the network architecture and programming required to ensure 4G LTE compatibility with 2- and 3G systems such as WiMAX, and the ways in which cell interference can be minimized. With faster, multilayered 4G networks set to spread to the remotest areas, this vital resource will be required reading for anyone needing to grasp the fundamentals of mobile communications.

This book describes the most recent techniques for turbo decoder implementation, especially for 4G and beyond 4G applications.  The authors reveal techniques for the design of high-throughput decoders for future telecommunication systems, enabling designers to reduce hardware cost and shorten processing time.  Coverage includes an explanation of VLSI implementation of the turbo decoder, from basic functional units to advanced parallel architecture. Several state-of-the-art techniques that improve complexity and/or throughput are introduced.  The authors discuss both hardware architecture techniques and experimental results, showing the variations in area/throughput/performance with respect to several techniques. This book also illustrates turbo decoders for 3GPP-LTE/LTE-A and IEEE 802.16e/m standards, which provide a low-complexity but high-flexibility circuit structure to support these standards and enables designs that reconfigure block size and parallelism.  Case studies include the discussions of both throughput and performance of each mode (block size/parallelism/iteration).  This book not only highlights the critical design issues that restrict the speedup of parallel architecture, but it also provides the solutions to overcome these limitations by modifying slightly the turbo codec of modern standards.     ·         Offers readers a complete introduction to practical turbo decoder design; ·         Describes different design methodologies and explains the trade-offs between performance improvement and overhead; ·         Explains modern techniques for state-of-the-art designs; ·         Includes simulation and implementation results with respect to various decoder circuit designs; ·         Reveals novel approaches to higher operating efficiency of turbo decoders for beyond 4G applications.
