Course Title
LTE Signaling and Functionality
Course type
- Aimed At
-
Technical audiences with prior knowledge of WCDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA, and an overview of LTE.
- Prerequisites
- Course in a Nutshell
-
This is the second one in our series of courses on LTE/4G aimed at technical audiences. The first one, LTE/SAE: A Technology Overview, is a recommended prerequisite.
This course provides detailed information on the signaling layers in LTE air interfaces including the channel structures and the mapping up to the physical layer. The idle mode and connected mode functionalities are discussed in details as are the issues related to Radio Resource Management (RRM), Mobility Management (MM), and scheduling over the air interface.
- Customize It!
-
- For those who have a good wireless technologies background but lack prior exposure to WCDMA/HSPA, we can extend the course to five days to allow us to cover the prerequisite material before getting on with the content of this course.
- Let us know if you are a radio/core network engineer, application/device designer, project manager, etc., so we can focus on the aspects of the technology most pertinent to your job requirements.
- Add a workshop day at the end of the course, for a total of 4 day, for a deep dive into the transmission network IP backbone issues.
