| LTE-Advanced Relay Technology and Standardization LTE-Advanced relay technology and standardization provides a timely reference work for relay technology with the finalizing of LTE Release 10 specifications. LTE-Advanced is quickly becoming the global standard for 4G cellular communications. The relay technology, as one of the key features in LTE-Advanced, helps not only to improve the system coverage and capacity, but also to save the costs of laying wireline backhaul. As a leading researcher in the field of LTE-Advanced standards, the author provides an in-depth description of LTE-A relay technology, and explains in detail the standard specification and design principles. nbsp; nbsp; Dr. Yifei Yuan is thenbsp;Technical Director at the Standards Department of ZTE Inc.
