This new revised edition of LTE for UMTS includes information on 3GPP LTE Release 9 content, details on new updates to the standards, and a look at possible future developments, such as the imminent development of Release 10 and LTE-Advanced. Having been the definitive text on LTE following the LTE L1 standards, this new edition still explains the foundation concepts such as System Architecture, Physical Layer and OFDMA, SC-FDMA, and MIMI in LTE, and includes supplementary sections on MBMS, femto, SON, emergency calls, as well as MIMO updates.

Harri Holma and Antti Toskala are both with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) in Finland working on the cutting edge technologies for mobile communications today. They are involved with 3GPP Standardisation, ensuring they are in key positions to write such a timely publication.
