- Prerequisites
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This course, aimed at a technical audience already familiar with WCDMA/HSPA, provides an overview of the ongoing “4G” enhancement to the UMTS system that are part of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) of 3G wireless networks.
In this course, we will undertake a detailed study of the evolved UMTS Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), 3GPP Release 8. To help you get the most out of this discussion, special attention will be paid to the principles of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems that are key to a full understanding of the LTE radio interface physical layer. Discussion of the new access network architecture, with its various interfaces and protocol suites, and an overview of the network entities and interfaces defined for the EPC (Evolved Packet Core) network (3GPP work item System Architecture Evolution or SAE) complete the course. All in all, the course will provide you with a great foundation for work with or advanced study of the LTE/4G technology.
- Customize It!
-
- If your audience is technical but lacks exposure to WCDMA/HSPA, we can begin the course with a discussion of the prerequisite material before taking up LTE/SAE-4G. This will extend the course to five days.
- Let us know whether you are focused on the radio or core network, planning/ optimization, equipment/application design, or applications/services, so we can include the topics most pertinent to your needs.
- Are you a Multimedia Engineer who would like to learn the concepts of LTE-SAE that relate to the transport of your services to the users? We can focus on the transmission principles, supported data rates, and other issues relevant to your interest.
- Add a workshop day at the end of the course, for a total of four days, for a deeper dive into the MBMS system and multimedia services.
