Lte, Wimax And Wlan Network Design, Optimization And Performance Analysis

Comprehensive analysis of factors contributing to the enhanced and optimized performance of existing and future wireless networks

This book sets out to evaluate existing wireless network technology, providing a step-by-step method to evolve current systems so as to enhance and optimize their future performance. The approach is logical and comprehensive, beginning with a discussion on voice and data traffic and demographics, followed by a wide-ranging analysis of all the relevant technologies. Hot topics “neighborhood planning” and “footprint enhancement” are examined in conjunction with frequency and code optimization issues. The final section focuses on performance, illustrating present findings and predicting future potential using cutting-edge statistical analysis.

Adopts a theoretical approach underpinned by practical examples gleaned from the author’s extensive experience in the field of wireless technology. 

Uses a new methodology comprising statistical analysis to evaluate the performance of voice and data networks.

Covers all the main technologies: Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS), Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi). 

Illustrates all points throughout with tables, graphs and screen captures.

Leonhard Korowajczuk has 40 plus years of experience in the telecommunication field working in R&D and Engineering areas. He graduated from UFRJ in 1969. His first assignments were in the Energy and FDM area at Standard Electrica S/A, followed by pioneer work on a PCM project at STC in England. He was part of the group that created the Telecom R&D Center (CPqD) in Brazil, where he did pioneer work on TDM switching. Next he joined Elebra S/A (later Alcatel do Brazil) where he was in charge of the Switching and Wireless Divisions. In 1992, he founded CelTec Tecnologia de Telecomunicacoes in Campinas, SP, Brazil, and in 1994 CelPlan Technologies in Reston, VA, USA, to provide design and optimization software for wireless operators. He was CTO of Comsat/Plexsys, were he was responsible for the development of advanced wireless equipment. Today he is CEO and CTO of CelPlan International, a company with subsidiaries in several countries that provides design and optimization solutions for wireless operators. His team have done hundreds of designs of Cellular, PCS, WLAN, WiMAX and LTE networks worldwide. He is also the head of the Wi4Net division, which provides Citywide Video Surveillance Networks for Public Safety, using technologies like WLAN and WiMAX.
