This book is essential reading for those wishing to obtain a systems perspective and a broad view on the background, performance and application of the latest developments in HSPA in the context of the demands on today's mobile broadband devices and networks. It takes the reader behind the scenes of 3GPP and provides an easily accessible understanding of the basic principles, the latest steps in the standard's evolution, and the motivations behind the development of standardized features. It covers important topics such as smartphone related features, multi-carrier and multi-antenna operation, interface architecture, heterogeneous networks and HSPA system performance. Offering full coverage of recent developments in HSPA up to Release 13, this book will provide a comprehensive description of one of the dominating standards for mobile broadband. With this book, you will: - Get a guided and consistent tour through the evolutionary stages of HSPA - Gain an understanding of the 3GPP standardization process, the driving forces behind it, and the need for evolution - Learn about the fundamental technology components of a modern wireless communication system, such as basic link level architecture, cellular system behavior, traffic management and scheduling and system management - Learn in detail the features of the latest HSPA development up to Release 13 - Gain a deep insight into the means by which HSPA performance can be simulated and characterized, the factors that drive the performance of networks and user experience, and the performance expectations for the technology - Obtain insight into the telecommunications market and its evolution - Learn about current trends and the future direction of HSPA - A full insight into the 3GPP and regulatory standardisation processes and the factors that drive evolution of the specification - A walk through of the fundamental technology principles that lie behind HSPA - A structured overview of the WCDMA/HSPA feature set, offering insider coverage starting from the core release 5/6 technologies and reviewing each of the added features up to and including the most recent developments in the area - An overview of the frequency bands available for HSPA - An insight into the radio performance requirements, their background and implications for mobiles and networks - A tutorial on simulation principles for HSPA - A description of the performance of HSPA features within the context of a tutorial on the factors that drive performance

SOC test design and its optimization is the topic of this book, and the aim is to give an introduction to testing, describe the problems related to SOC testing, discuses the modeling granularity and the implementation into EDA (electronic design automation) tools. It first introduces readers to test problems including faults, fault types, design-flow, design-for-test techniques such as scan-testing and Boundary Scan. Then it discusses SOC related problems such as system modeling, test conflicts, power consumption, test access mechanism design, test scheduling and defect-oriented scheduling. The final part focuses on SOC applications, such as integrated test scheduling and TAM design, defect-oriented scheduling, and integrating test design with core selection process. Intended for graduate students and PhD-students working in the test field, the manual also aids researchers and professors who would like to get into the area of SOC testing.

Advanced Antenna Systems for 5G Network Deployments: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the field of advanced antenna systems (AAS) and how they can be deployed in 5G networks. The book gives a thorough understanding of the basic technology components, the state-of-the-art multi-antenna solutions, what support 3GPP has standardized together with the reasoning, AAS performance in real networks, and how AAS can be used to enhance network deployments. Explains how AAS features impact network performance and how AAS can be effectively used in a 5G network, based on either NR and/or LTE Shows what AAS configurations and features to use in different network deployment scenarios, focusing on mobile broadband, but also including fixed wireless access Presents the latest developments in multi-antenna technologies, including Beamforming, MIMO and cell shaping, along with the potential of different technologies in a commercial network context Provides a deep understanding of the differences between mid-band and mm-Wave solutions
