From GSM to LTE : An Introduction to Mobile

The first edition of this book was originally published as Communication Systems for the Mobile Information Society, and will be thoroughly revised and updated to include key recent development in the field and will be published under the new title of Communication Systems from GSM to LTE: An Introduction to Mobile Networks and Mobile Broadband.Offering a solid introduction to major global wireless standards and comparisons of the different wireless technologies and their applications, this new edition has been updated to provide the latest directions and activities in 3GPP standardization reaching up to Release 10, and importantly will include a new chapter on LTE. The new LTE chapter will cover aspects such as Mobility Management and Power Optimization, Voice over LTE, and Air Interface and Radio Network.
