- Aimed At
-
Those experienced with UMTS-FDD who wish to learn more about HSDPA. 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
-
- CDMA Technology and Its Evolution to cdma2000 (3 day(s), CDMA)
- UMTS-FDD: Network Architecture, Operation, and Design (3 day(s), UMTS-FDD)
- 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
-
The implementation of UMTS is gathering momentum worldwide. While many vendors and operators are focused on the FDD mode, and some also on TDD, others view HSDPA as being just the right entrée into UMTS. Although HSDPA builds on the FDD structures, it presents some unique capabilities and challenges.
Building on your knowledge of UMTS-FDD, you will learn the capabilities and complexities that HSDPA brings to the network structure and operation. While HSDPA is conceptually simple, it leaves a number of implementation details to the individual equipment vendors. Knowing how the HSDPA-enabled UMTS network is structured will allow you to ask the vendors the right questions, which in turn will allow you to make the right design choices. All in all, you will come away from this class with a good understanding of how to design, implement, and optimize HSDPA networks.
- Customize It!
-
Customize this course to your specific needs at little-to-no additional cost. We offer distinct versions tailored for:
- Network design and optimization engineers
- Equipment or application designers
- Less technical audiences such as managers, executives, business planners, sales and marketing specialists, and operations and support personnel.
Since EVDO and HSDPA provide similar capabilities for CDMA2000 and UMTS, respectively, an integrated, comparative discussion of the two topics will interest some audiences. If you can benefit from such a combined class, ask us about our ‘combo discount’.
