Radio Technologies and Concepts for Imt-advanced

Radio Technologies and Concepts for IMTAdvanced presents the findings of the Wireless World Initiative New Radio (WINNER) project in Framework Program 6 of the European Commission. It provides an insight into the key concepts and technologies for the IMTAdvanced radio interface, based on the collaborative research of manufacturers, network operators, research centres and universities within WINNER. The book covers the fundamental radio characteristics of a typical 4G wireless communication system, focusing on the transceiver's chain from the physical layer to layers 2 and 3. Starting by defining realistic and futuristic usage scenarios, the authors provide indepth discussion of key technologies including modulation and coding, link level procedures, spatialtemporal processing, multiple access schemes and intercell interference mitigation, channel estimation and newly developed channel models. Finally, a cost assessment and optimisation methodology is developed for different deployment concepts in order to assess a wireless system in a condition close to reality. The book provides an important systemlevel approach to the latest radio technologies in the field, and evaluates IMTAdvanced research in relation to international standardisation.
