Introduction - If you have any usage issues, please Google them yourself
This book is about the world’s dominant 4G mobile telecommunication system, LTE.
In writing the book, my aim has been to give the reader a concise, system level
introduction to the technology that LTE uses. The book covers the whole of the system,
both the techniques used for radio communication between the base station and the mobile
phone, and the techniques used to transfer data and signalling messages across the network.
I have avoided going into excessive detail, which is more appropriate for specialized
treatments of individual topics and for the LTE specifications themselves. Instead, I hope
that the reader will come away this book with a sound understanding of the system
and of the way in which its different components interact. The reader will then be able
to tackle the more advanced books and the specifications with confidence.
