In this regard, the book is comprehensive in covering all important aspects of wireless networks. Tailored to undergraduate/graduate students and practicing engineers, this book presents the fundamental concepts in a concise manner, while retaining the rigor needed to truly understand wireless communications. Importantly, the book ties these developments to how these concepts are implemented in fielded systems, discussing the motivations behind the design choices made in 4G and 5G wireless communications. The book bridges the gap between theory and application, presenting key practical issues. Presents RF concepts, RAN protocols, and radio planning and optimization; Bridges the gap between theoretical and application-driven textbooks on cellular radio access networks; Includes a full suite of classroom materials including PowerPoint slides, a solutions manual, and tutorials. 410 0$aTextbooks in Telecommunication Engineering, Era of the Internet and Network Science/Engineering,$x2524-4353 606 $aTelecommunication 606 $aComputer engineering 606 $aComputer networks 606 $aCommunications Engineering, Networks 606 $aComputer Engineering and Networks 606 $aMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications 615 0$aTelecommunication. 615 0$aComputer engineering. 615 0$aComputer networks. 615 14$aCommunications Engineering, Networks. 615 24$aComputer Engineering and Networks. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF Engineering and Optical Communications. 676 $a621.382 700 $aMaljevi?$b Ivo$01786029 701 $aAlfarhan$b Faris$01786030 701 $aAdve$b Raviraj$01786031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983304903321 996 $aCellular Radio Access Networks$94317447 997 $aUNINA
