Riassunto

This book introducesthe Vienna Simulator Suite for 3rd-Generation Partnership Project(3GPP)-compatible Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) simulators and presentsapplications to demonstrate their uses for describing, designing, and optimizingwireless cellular LTE-A networks.

Part One addresses LTEand LTE-A link level techniques. As there has been high demand for the downlink(DL) simulator, it constitutes the central focus of the majority of thechapters. This part of the book reports on relevant highlights, includingsingle-user (SU), multi-user (MU) and single-input-single-output (SISO) as wellas multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions. Furthermore, itsummarizes the optimal pilot pattern for high-speed communications as well asdifferent synchronization issues. One chapter is devoted to experiments thatshow how the link level simulator can provide input to a testbed. This sectionalso uses measurements to present and validate fundamental results onorthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmissions that are notlimited to LTE-A. One chapter exclusively deals with the newest tool, theuplink (UL) link level simulator, and presents cutting-edge results.

In turn, Part Twofocuses on system-level simulations. From early on, system-level simulations havebeen in high demand, as people are naturally seeking answers when scenarioswith numerous base stations and hundreds of users are investigated. This partnot only explains how mathematical abstraction can be employed to speed upsimulations by several hundred times without sacrificing precision, but alsoillustrates new theories on how to abstract large urban heterogeneous networkswith indoor small cells. It also reports on advanced applications such as trainand car transmissions to demonstrate the tools’ capabilities.

Informazioni sull?autore

Markus Rupp was bornin 1963 in Völklingen, Germany. He received his Dipl.-Ing. Degree in 1988 atthe University of Saarbrücken, Germany, and his Dr.-Ing. degree in 1993 at theTechnische Universität Darmstadt, Germany, where he worked with EberhardtHänsler on designing new algorithms for acoustic and electrical echocompensation. From November 1993 until July 1995, he held a postdoctoralposition at the University of Santa Barbara, California, with Sanjit Mitrawhere he worked with Ali H. Sayed on a robustness description of adaptivefilters with impact on neural networks and active noise control. From October1995 until August 2001, he was a member of Technical Staff at the WirelessTechnology Research Department of Bell-Labs in Crawford Hill, NJ, where heworked on various topics related to adaptive equalization and rapidimplementation for IS-136, 802.11 and UMTS. In October 2001 he was appointed aFull Professor of Digital Signal Processing in Mobile Communications at theTechnische Universität (TU) Wien, where he served as the Dean from 2005 to 2007and from 2016 to 2017. He was associate editor of IEEE Transactions on SignalProcessing from 2002 to 2005 and is currently associate editor of JASP EURASIPJournal on Advances in Signal Processing, and JES EURASIP Journal on EmbeddedSystems. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and was elected AdCom Member of EURASIPfrom 2004 to 2012, serving as President of EURASIP from 2009 to 2010. He hasauthored and co-authored more than 500 scientific papers, including 15 patentson adaptive filtering and wireless communications.

 

Stefan Schwarz wasborn in Neunkirchen, Austria, in 1984. He received his B.Sc. degree inelectrical engineering and his Dipl.-Ing. degree (M.Sc. equivalent) intelecommunications engineering with the highest distinctions in 2007 and 2009,respectively, both at TU Wien. He also received his Dr. techn. degree (Ph.D.equivalent) in telecommunications engineering  with the highestdistinctions in 2013 at TU Wien. In 2010 he received the honorary prize of theAustrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research for outstanding graduates ofscientific and artistic universities. In 2014 he received the INiTS Award inthe category Information and Communication Technologies for innovativescientific works with potential economic applications. From 2008 to 2014 heworked as a project assistant in Prof. Markus Rupp’s Mobile Communicationsgroup at TU Wien’s Institute of Telecommunications, where he chiefly focused onlink and system level simulation of Long-Term Evolution (LTE)/ Long-TermEvolution-Advanced (LTE-A) networks and was one of the lead developers of theVienna LTE Simulators. In 2012 he visited the University of Texas at Austin as aresearch scholar and collaborated with Prof. Robert W. Heath, Jr. on limitedfeedback algorithms for distributed antenna systems. Since 2015 he has beenemployed as postdoctoral researcher (university assistant) at the Institute ofTelecommunications, leading a contract research project on Low Latency GroupCommunication over Long-Term Evolution Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services(LTE MBMS). His research interests lie in the broad fields of wirelesscommunications and signal processing.

 

Martin Taranetz wasborn in 1986 in Amstetten, Austria. He received his B.Sc. degree in electricalengineering and his Dipl.-Ing degree (M.Sc. equivalent) in telecommunicationsengineering with the highest distinctions from the TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, in2008 and 2011, respectively. He also received his Dr. techn. degree (Ph.D.equivalent) in telecommunications engineering with the highest honors from theTU Wien in 2015. In his dissertation, he focused on the system level modelingand evaluation of heterogeneous cellular networks. Since 2015, he has beenemployed as a project assistant in the Mobile Communications group at TU Wien’sInstitute of Telecommunications. From January 2014 to April 2014 he was avisiting researcher with the Wireless Networking and Communications Group at theUniversity of Texas at Austin. His research interests lie in the broad fieldsof wireless communications and signal processing. He is a reviewer for IEEETransactions on Wireless Communications and IEEE Transactions on SignalProcessing.
