Author Description

<p><i>Advanced Antenna Systems for 5G Network Deployments: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice</i> 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. </p><ul> <li>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</li> <li>Shows what AAS configurations and features to use in different network deployment scenarios, focusing on mobile broadband, but also including fixed wireless access</li> <li>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</li> <li>Provides a deep understanding of the differences between mid-band and mm-Wave solutions</li></ul>
