Wideband TDD WCDMA for the Unpaired Spectrum

This book is an outgrowth of the pioneering development work done by Inter Digital Communication Corporation in 3rd Generation TDD WCDMA Technology. Many engineers and managers were involved in this development, which spanned a wide range of technology areas, including system architecture, radio interface, radio modem design, radio resource management and hardware/software implementation. In addition, TDD WCDMA technology had many direct and indirect contributors across the globe in the context of the development of the 3GPP TDD WCDMA Standard. During the late 2002–early 2003 time period, InterDigital executive management took a decision to produce a book on the collective work done at InterDigital on TDD WCDMA technology. I was entrusted with the daunting task of bringing together this vast body of TDD WCDMA expertise and presenting it in a comprehensive, logically connected and readable form. I hope I have met these objectives.
