Why this White Paper

Unlike other technical manuals and documents, this white paper emphasizes on the basic LTE TM7 & TM8 functionality, their technical details and their special performance characteristics to solve several coverage and capacity issues in a mobile network nowadays.

Advanced MIMO functionality on TM7 & TM8

3GPP Release 10 introduced advanced MIMO functionality on TM7 & TM8, to enhance the LTE performance. The in-depth understanding of Transmission Mode 7 & 8 are therefore of fundamental importance for an RF planner or RF optimizer, in order to apply their benefits and advance techniques in principles.

The basic theory followed by implementation examples

Τhis white paper summarizes with an extensive reference to the techniques and peculiarities of the coverage and capacity design procedure, providing the most useful hints to the 4G and 5G planners/optimizers

A guide for the Professional and the Researcher

It is designed to be a good guide for every RAN engineer, RAN System Architect, Antenna Technician, students and researchers on the field, Academic lecturers and PhD candidates for use in a typical LTE-A presentation. And as such it will be a good companion to each
individual’s technology journey and personal endeavor.
