Course Objectives
This training aims to equip transmission design engineers with the key concepts on LTE IP transport and network solutions. The mobile transport network should accommodate the traffic created by cellular coverage areas; hence, a correct dimensioning is critical from the QoS and capacity point of view.
Several technologies could be implemented, such as IP-over-ATM, or IP-over-Ethernet. Mobile Packet Backbone Network solutions are described in detail and supported by case studies to help transport designers understand the diverse techniques that can be deployed. Mastering these techniques, participants will learn how to contribute in end-to-end user throughput optimisation.
