STM publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of the latest edition of 4G: LTE-Advanced Pro and The Road to 5G by Erik Dahlman, Stefan Parkvall and Johan Skold. This is the leading book on 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications for LTE, LTE-Advanced, and LTE-Advanced Pro. Elsevier also introduced three other new books in communications engineering.
Available in 2018, the upcoming 5G specifications from 3GPP will include LTE-Advanced Pro as well as a new 5G radio-access technology. 4G: LTE-Advanced Pro and The Road to 5G, written by engineers working closely with 3GPP, offers insight into the newest technologies and standards adopted by 3GPP, with detailed explanations of the specific solutions chosen and their implementation in LTE, LTE-Advanced, and LTE-Advanced Pro. It also provides a detailed description of the path to 5G and the associated underlying technologies. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the large extensions to LTE as introduced in 3GPP Releases 12 and 13 and the role of LTE in the upcoming 5G era. There are ten new chapters covering of all major features introduced with Release 12 and 13, as well as two new chapters on 5G wireless access.
The other three new communications engineering books are: Academic Press Library in Mobile and Wireless Communications: Transmission Techniques for Digital Communications edited by Sarah Wilson and Stephen Wilson; Communications for Control in Cyber Physical Systems: Theory, Design and Applications in Smart Grids by Husheng Li; and Microwave Wireless Communications: From Transistor to System Level by Antonio Raffo and Giovanni Crup.
In order to meet content needs in communications engineering, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. These new books, which will educate the next generation of communications engineers and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
