Engineers who have prior experience with GSM, GPRS, and EDGE and wish to learn how to optimize GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio networks.
- Prerequisites
- Course in a Nutshell
-
GSM/GPRS/EDGE operators worldwide face the challenge of setting the RAN parameters to achieve optimum network performance. Different equipment vendors choose different approaches to solve the same design, optimization, and tuning problems. Different operators make differing architectural and design choices as well, leading to different parameter configurations. To further add to the complexity, an operator may have equipment from multiple vendors. All this makes it difficult to reduce optimization to simple rules of thumb.
In this course, we will study GSM/GPRS/EDGE optimization in all its complexity, including the network parameters for the idle and busy mode of operation, basic and added radio network features and their characteristics, and desired versus actual network performance considering the interaction between the features simultaneously active in a network. The course will conclude with a discussion of real-life design and optimization scenarios.
- Customize It!
-
If you’d like us to focus the course on the specific features and parameters pertinent to your needs, we can do that. We can also tailor it to a particular vendor’s equipment of interest to your company. Additionally, we can design case studies specific to your network that can be the basis for in-class hands-on optimization exercises.
