LTE-R Network

Recently, high-speed railway (HSR) has been developed rapidly all over the world, which puts forward requirements for a reliable and efficient wireless communication system between the moving train and the ground. It is important to design the next generation HSR communications system based on LTE technology while addressing the specific challenges of HSR environment, such as high mobility speeds and stringent QoS requirement of some railway-specific signaling,. Such a wireless communications system is commonly referred to as LTE-Railway (LTE-R). LTE-R system has the significant characteristics of wide bandwidth, low delay, all-IP network architecture and so on. This book is devoted to the discussion of LTE-R network services, architecture, and performance evaluation issues.
