Course Objectives:
This training aims to introduce the idea of LTE IP transport network solutions to transmission design engineers. Transport network should accommodate the traffic created by cellular coverage areas; hence the correct dimensioning is critical for QoS and capacity point of view. Several technologies could be implemented, like IP over ATM or IP over Ethernet. Mobile Packet Backbone Network solutions are described in detail supported by case studies to help transport designers realise the diverse techniques. Mastering these techniques, participants will learn how to contribute in end-to-end user throughput optimization.
Who Should Attend?
- Mobile Networks Engineer who would like to “fill in the gaps” and catch up with the latest LTE transport network design principles and implementations.
- Radio network planners who would like to learn more about the capacity planning of the transport network.
- Multimedia Engineer who would like to learn the concepts and theory of LTE/SAE that transports services to mobile users.
