LTE-A, WiMAX 2.2 and WLAN (4G/5G): Network Design, Optimization and Performance Analysis
LTEA WiMAX 22 and WLAN Network Design Optimization and Performance Analysis - 4G/5G Author:Leonhard Korowajczuk The book brings together a number of theoretical topicsnecessary for the understanding of wireless network design,optimization techniques, and performance analysis and evaluation.The author takes a practical approach in explaining the materialpresented, the primary aim being to introduce readers to the art ofnetwork design, optimization, and per... more »formance analysis. To achievethat aim, the author presents the relevant technological backgroundnecessary for understanding those processes. Historically, LTEbecame the technology of choice for large operators, WiMAX thetechnology of choice of aviation and smart grids whilst WLAN is astrong candidate for becoming the base for the next generation. Theoffering of three similar (OFDM based) but different technologiesled to a marketing war, announcing spectacular performances thatmade it difficult to separate reality from marketing claims. Thiswelcome Second Edition provides the foundation which allows readersto understand the basic premises of the technology and todistinguish what is a marketing claim and what is possible toobtain in real life. This second edition presents an in-depthanalysis of the technologies evolution and considers the proposedpath of the next generation (5G) technology. The book is structured into five main parts:
The fundamentals, useful as a refresher and to coverMathematics Applied to Wireless, Signal Processing Fundamentals,and OFDM;
The Wireless Communication Channel, an exclusive in-depthanalysis which explains the causes and effects of RFimpairments;
Data Transmission Protocols Internet History and Modeling,an in-depth examination of data modeling and transmissionprotocols, including Internet Network, Protocols, Routing,Traffic and Throughput;
