- Aimed At
-
Those with UMTS-FDD background who wish to learn more about UMTS-FDD network design and optimization techniques. 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
- Course in a Nutshell
-
As UMTS-FDD proliferates worldwide, there’s growing demand for a good, strong course on the design and optimization of UMTS networks. We created this course to respond to that need.
In this course, you will build on your existing knowledge of the UMTS network architecture and operation by learning how to design and optimize a radio network based on the FDD mode of UMTS. We will learn both the user and network equipment protocols. We will cover in detail the connection of the FDD RAN to the 3G core and IP networks. We will also study in depth the dimensioning and optimization of both the radio and core network parameters. All in all, the course will help you design UMTS-FDD networks that provide optimum performance for broadband wireless services while also being cost effective.
