This book focuses on key simulation and evaluation technologies for 5G
systems. Based on the most recent research results from academia and
industry, it describes the evaluation methodologies in depth for network
and physical layer technologies. The evaluation methods are discussed in
depth. It also covers the analysis of the 5G candidate technologies and
the testing challenges, the evolution of the testing technologies,
fading channel measurement and modeling, software simulations, software
hardware cosimulation, field testing and other novel evaluation methods.
The fifth-generation (5G) mobile communications system targets highly
improved network performances in terms of the network capacity and the
number of connections.
Testing and evaluation technologies is widely recognized and plays
important roles in the wireless technology developments, along with the
research on basic theory and key technologies. The investigation and
developments on the multi-level and comprehensive evaluations for 5G new
technologies, provides important performance references for the 5G
technology filtering and future standardizations.
Students focused on telecommunications, electronic engineering, computer
science or other related disciplines will find this book useful as a
secondary text. Researchers and professionals working within these
related fields will also find this book useful as a reference.
