- 3 day(s)
- Aimed At
-
Those with some CDMA background who wish to learn more about UMTS-FDD. The standard presentation of this course assumes a bachelor of science in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related subject along with an appropriate background in communications engineering.
- Prerequisites
-
- Knowledge of the wireless network structure and operation, RF propagation and fading issues, and link budget analysis.
- At least two years experience in the design and optimization of a wireless network using any major technology.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
As UMTS proliferates worldwide, there’s growing demand for a good, strong course on UMTS. This course is that. In this course, you will learn the architecture and operation of UMTS-FDD as it impacts the design and optimization of a UMTS-FDD network.
We will begin with a close look at the architecture of a UMTS network, with emphasis on the FDD mode. We will learn about both the optional and mandatory features of UMTS-FDD. We will also discuss the relationships between the logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels in a good deal of depth. All of this will allow you to exploit the technology’s strengths to come up with better network designs, trouble shoot performance problems, and identify solution approaches. It will also help you interface with vendors more effectively.
