-
Those with UMTS-TDD background who wish to learn more about the UMTS-TDD network design and optimization process. 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 the implementation of broadband wireless access technologies and UMTS gathers worldwide momentum, there’s growing interest in using UMTS-TDD for broadband wireless access. We created this course to respond to the need for a good, strong course on the design and optimization of UMTS-TDD networks.
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 TDD mode of UMTS. We will learn both the user and network equipment protocols. We will cover in detail the connection of the TDD 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-TDD networks that provide optimum performance for broadband wireless services while also being cost effective
