System-Level Design Methodologies for Telecommunication

Abstract

Long-term evolution (LTE) indoor coverage is becoming important day by day due to multilayer design and high traffic-building premises. Nowadays, it is true that user expectations from operator’s indoor high-quality services and capacity availability provides a well-promised opportunity to offer improved LTE services with appropriate traffic revenues. Customers expect indoor faster Internet connections than ever and they would not tolerate slow connections. Wireless network indoor capacity for data services will become more important in the near future. As a result, indoor LTE radio design is one of the key elements to provide a high-quality service to meet the user demand for a high-capacity mobile network.
