- Aimed At
-
This course is aimed at technical audiences who have prior understanding of WCDMA and some exposure to 3G LTE who wish to expand their knowledge on the LTE technology based on 3GPP standards.
- Prerequisites
-
- LTE/SAE: A Technology Overview (3 day(s), LTE-TECH)
- UMTS-FDD: Network Architecture, Operation, and Design (3 day(s), UMTS-FDD)
The 3G LTE overview course is strongly recommended, though not required.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This course is part of a series of our courses on LTE, the term used for the ongoing evolution of the 3G UMTS networks to the 4G wireless system.
In this course, you will engage in an in-depth study of the evolved UMTS Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), 3GPP Release 8. To help you understand the key new technology ideas that underlie the LTE radio interface, we will give particular attention to the principles of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. The new access network architecture, with its different interfaces and protocol suites, is also covered along with an overview of the network entities and interfaces defined for the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network (3GPP work item System Architecture Evolution or SAE).
- Customize It!
-
- If you’d like to take this course but don’t have the requisite understanding of WCDMA/LTE, we can extend the course to five days to include an up-front overview of WCDMA/LTE.
- If you are a manager, executive, or sales person involved with GSM/UMTS mobile networks or mobile handsets and you want to keep up with the evolution of 3G wireless to 4G, we can emphasize parts of the course that deal with the markets and applications pertinent to your project or product.
- If you are a Multimedia Engineer who would like to learn the LTE-SAE issues related to the transport of your services to the users, we can focus on the transmission principles and the supported data rates.
- Add a workshop day at the end of the course, for a total of five days for a deep dive into the MBMS system for multimedia services.
