The Fifth Edition of the internationally recognized authority on WCDMA is published by Wiley-Blackwell. WCDMA for UMTS HSPA Evolution and LTE 5th Edition (November 2010) is fully revised and updated, and presents the latest developments in technologies for UMTS.

WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is an air interface used in 3G mobile telecommunications networks - UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). UMTS is the third generation successor to GSM networks. WCDMA provides numerous new business opportunities for manufacturers, operators, and content and applications providers. WCDMA has been adopted and deployed rapidly since 2001 in Japan, Europe and Asia.

Written by leading experts in the field, the first edition of WCDMA for UMTS HSPA Evolution and LTE quickly became established as the most highly respected book on the air interface of 3G cellular systems. The new Fifth Edition includes two new chapters, covering HSPA multi-carrier evolution, as well as TD-SCDMA. The existing chapters have been updated to cover the most recent features of HSPA evolution, UMTS services, the latest MBMS developments and 3 GPP future plans. It also provides up-to-date coverage of WCDMA, High speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), High speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) and HSPA evolution (HSPA+), and HSDPA simulations and field measurements.

Presenting the latest developments in the UMTS business, WCDMA for UMTS HSPA Evolution and LTE 5th Edition provides a practical approach accessible to operators, network and terminal manufacturers, service providers, university students and frequency regulators.
