Course Objectives |
The goal of this course is to present details and
up-to-date information on
the LTE technology and the corresponding 3GPP standards. The
focus is on
the LTE technology and its applications. The participants
will learn the
features of the technology that are relevant for system
performance and
applications. |
|
Course Overview |
|
This a 3-day course focusing on the 3GPP LTE technology and
applications. We will address the following topics.
- Evolution from 3GPP UMTS and HSPA to LTE. The related
layer 1 and
2 protocol functions are dealt with in great detail.
- Why introducing LTE.
- LTE deployment and rollout strategies and its
relationship with
already-deployed 2G and 3G networks.
- All-IP network architecture will be described.
- VoIP, IPTV, and mobile TV as LTE applications will be
discussed.
- Detailed comparison with WiMAX will be presented.
|
|
Key Benefits |
|
The participants will gain a detailed end-to-end knowledge
of the LTE
technology, and its relationship with UMTS and HSPA.
Furthermore, they will
be able to address real-world problems and compare it with
the competing
WiMAX technology.

|
Pre-Requisites for Participants |
A strong knowledge of wireless communication systems is
required.
Experience with 2G or 3G radio technologies is needed. |
Who Should Attend? |
- Technical managers that want to learn and understand the
benefits and
potential issues with LTE, 2G and 3G.
- Technical managers that want to understand differences
between LTE
and WiMAX.
- Development, application and deployment engineers that
require a
good knowledge of the LTE technology and its applications.
