CRC Press, a member of Taylor & Francis Group, is launching a new 3GPP LTE Handbook with the main objective to provide comprehensive articles (18-36 pages) by world experts in the field. The Handbook will contain 20+ articles. The CRC Press is committed to create a successful Handbook and therefore it intends to support it with a large marketing and advertising effort. Potential contributors should express their interest by sending an email to Borko Furht and Syed Ahson at borko@cse.fau.edu and ESA012@motorola.com
DESCRIPTION The rapid growth of mobile applications in recent years has created a need for wideband wireless communication. The only predictable trend is that data-rate and QoS requirements will increase rapidly. This demand is pushing Time division– synchronous code-division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) to evolve in order to provide higher and higher data rates. 3GPP is in the process of defining the long-term evolution (LTE) for 3G radio access, sometimes referred to as Super-3G, in order to maintain the future competitiveness of 3G technology. The main targets for this evolution concern increased data rates with low cost, improved spectrum efficiency, improved coverage, and reduced latency. Taken together these result in significantly improved service provisioning and reduced operator costs in a variety of traffic scenarios.

TOPICS OF INTERESTS
(Other topics are aslo welcome)
- Status of Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3G which has been researching and standardizing in 3GPP, the evolution map of TD-SCDMA, and the requirement on TD-SCDMA LTE and potential features of LTE TDD.
- Present the evolution map from TD-SCDMA to Future Terrestrial Universal Radio Environment TDD. The evolution includes four phases: low chip rate (LCR), high-speed downlink/uplink packet access (HSxPA)/TDSCDMA EV 1x, long-term evolution (LTE) TDD, and 3G TDD. The main features of each phase are described in detail.
- Introduce new technologies into the system step by step, for example, multiple input and multiple output (MIMO), orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), evolved QoS and link layer concepts, and an evolved architecture.
- The 3G Long-Term Evolution - Radio Interface Concepts: An overview of the basic radio interface principles for the 3G long-term evolution concept, including OFDM and advanced antenna solution.
- Methodologies to study the performance of frequency allocation schemes in 3G LTE OFDMA systems.
- Time and Frequency Synchronization for 3GPP Long Term Evolution Systems.
- MIMO OFDM schemes for 3G LTE: Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) concept has been recognized as one of the key approaches for providing required bandwidth efficiency in the evolution of 3G wireless systems. However, the choice of the particular MIMO transceiver scheme is still an open issue and it is under intensive discussion in standardization bodies. In this book we tackle the topic of the choice of the appropriate MIMO scheme for the long term evolution of 3G systems.
- DFT-SOFDM for 3GPP LTESystems: Abstract-Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is a promising multiple access technique. DFTSOFDM, which combines OFDMA with SC-FDE, is being proposed for 3GPP LTE.
- Radio Resource Allocation Algorithms for UTRAN LTE Uplink.
- Transmit Diversity and Multiplexing Methods for 3G-LTE Downlink Control Channels: Multiplexing method combined with transmit antenna diversity for the downlink control channels in 3GLTE. Four schemes, such as FDM-STBC, CDM-STBC, FDMSFBC and CDM-SFBC, are investigated for the downlink control channels, in particular, for one bit type control channels.
- Channel estimation for LTE OFDMA receivers.
- Scheduler for Shared Data Channel in 3GPP LTE System: OFDMA will be the dominant multi-access method in 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. Multi-user scheduler plays an important role in optimizing its Shared Data Channel (SDCH).
- Mobility Management Strategy for LTE Wireless Communications System: One of the major challenges for LTE (Long Term Evolution) of 3G networks is efficient mobility management. Discuss the proposed architecture of Mobile IPRR (regional registration) and distributed dynamic architecture in the wireless communication. Provide reference to the mobility technical innovation of 3G systems evolution by exploiting Mobile IP.
- Performance Evaluation of TD-SCDMA LTE System (system throughput and the spectrum efficiency).
