Written by a leading researcher in LTE-Advanced standards, this book offers an in-depth description of LTE-A relay technology, and a detailed explanation of the standard specification and design principles. Benefits both academic researchers and engineers.

LTE-Advanced relay technology and standardization provides a timely reference work for relay technology with the finalizing of LTE Release 10 specifications. LTE-Advanced is quickly becoming the global standard for 4G cellular communications. The relay technology, as one of the key features in LTE-Advanced, helps not only to improve the system coverage and capacity, but also to save the costs of laying wireline backhaul. As a leading researcher in the field of LTE-Advanced standards, the author provides an in-depth description of LTE-A relay technology, and explains in detail the standard specification and design principles.

Readers from both academic and industrial fields can find sections of interest to them: Sections 2 & 4 could benefit researchers in academia and those who are engaged in exploratory work, while Sections 3 & 4 are more useful to engineers.

Dr. Yifei Yuan is the Technical Director at the Standards Department of ZTE Inc.

The first book with in-depth description and insight of LTE-Advanced relay technology A new angle to understand Release 10 relay --in the context of heterogeneous networks Long lasting value for reference, discussion of the outlook of relay in future releases Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
