Evaluation of HSDPA and LTE
From Testbed Measurements to System Level Performance
von Markus Rupp, Sebastian Caban, Christian Mehlführer und Martin WrulichThis book explains how the performance of modern cellularwireless networks can be evaluated by measurements andsimulations
With the roll-out of LTE, high data throughput is promised to beavailable to cellular users. In case you have ever wondered howhigh this throughput really is, this book is the right read foryou: At first, it presents results from experimental research andsimulations of the physical layer of HSDPA, WiMAX, and LTE. Next, it explains in detail how measurements on such systems need to beperformed in order to achieve reproducible and repeatable results. The book further addresses how wireless links can be evaluated bymeans of standard-compliant link-level simulation. The majorchallenge in this context is their complexity when investigatingcomplete wireless cellular networks. Consequently, it is shown howsystem-level simulators with a higher abstraction level can bedesigned such that their results still match link-levelsimulations. Exemplarily, the book finally presents optimizationsof wireless systems over several cells.
This book:
* Explains how the performance of modern cellular wirelessnetworks can be evaluated by measurements and simulations
* Discusses the concept of testbeds, highlighting the challengesand expectations when building them
* Explains measurement techniques, including the evaluation ofthe measurement quality by statistical inference techniques
* Presents throughput results for HSDPA, WiMAX, andLTE
* Demonstrates simulators at both, link- level andsystem-level
* Provides system-level and link-level simulators (for WiMAX andLTE) on an accompanying website (https://www. nt. tuwien. ac. at/downloads/featured-downloads)
This book is an insightful guide for researchers and engineersworking in the field of mobile radio communication as well asnetwork planning. Advanced students studying related courses willalso find the book interesting.
