LTE Signaling: Troubleshooting and Optimization

This book supplements the information provided in the 3GPP standards by giving readers access to a universal LTE/EPC protocol sequence to ensure they have a clear understanding of the issues involved. It describes the normal signaling procedures as well as explaining how to identify and troubleshoot abnormal network behavior and common failure causes. * Enables the reader to understand the signaling procedures and parameters that need to be analyzed when monitoring UMTS networks * Covers the essential facts on signaling procedures by providing first hand information taken from real LTE/EPC traces * A useful reference on the topic, also providing sufficient details for test and measurement experts who need to analyze LTE/EPC signaling procedures and measurements at the most detailed level * Contains a description of LTE air interface monitoring scenarios as well as other key topics up to an advanced level

LTE Signaling, Troubleshooting and Optimization is the Long Term Evolution successor to the previous Wiley books UMTS Signaling and UMTS Performance Measurement.
