This volume has matured to ... a highly recommended and indispensable. (Computing Reviews, July 15, 2008)
Written by the leading experts in the field, the best selling bookon UMTS is now updated to cover 3GPP High Speed Packet Access(HSPA) evolution (HSPA+) in Release 7 and on-going Long TermEvolution (LTE) activity for Release 8. These technologies enhancethe capabilities of the existing WCDMA/HSPA networks to offerhigher data rates beyond 100 Mbps.
WCDMA for UMTS, Fourth Edition also covers 3GPP WCDMARelease 99, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) in Release 5and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) in Release 6, which arealready deployed commercially. Multimedia Broadcast MulticastSystem (MBMS) is also described in detail.
Key updates include:
* Continues to provide both updated descriptions of the 3GPPstandard as well as the latest end user and system performanceestimates
* Updated HSDPA and HSUPA, including link budgets and Iubdimensioning
* Detailed MBMS description
* 3GPP Release 7 HSPA evolution full description
* 3GPP Release 8 LTE overall description and 3GPP schedule
* Dedicated chapter on terminal design challenges for the new highspeed radio technologies
