LTE and LTE Advanced
Course Overview
This course provides an in-depth understanding of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced, the advanced wireless communication technologies that have revolutionized the mobile industry. Participants will explore the evolution from 3GPP UMTS and HSPA to HSPA+ and LTE/LTE-Advanced, and delve into the various protocol functions, spectrum allocation, antenna technologies, and deployment strategies associated with these technologies.
Additionally, the course covers topics such as carrier aggregation, heterogeneous networks, self-organizing networks, and all-IP network architecture. The course also explores the application of LTE/LTE-Advanced in voice over IP (VoIP) services.
