Who would benefit from this course?

Those in technical roles associated with the LTE rollouts. Course participants may include network operators, vendors, service providers, application developers, management staff and engineers.

…the time to understand LTE is now

Outline

Mobile networks are undergoing fundamental change. While current HSPA+ services have greatly increased mobile wireless performance expectations, Long Term Evolution LTE will re-shape wireless services over the next decade. This two day course provides a detailed technical overview of LTE, LTE-Advanced and the markets they will operate in.

The course begins with a review of current HSPA developments. LTE development, performance goals and radio interfaces are then considered, followed by a detailed examination of the LTE architecture, its key components, and its interfaces.

The second day outlines the standards framework behind the initial LTE Advanced standard, 3GPP Release 10. Three key LTE Advanced capacity improvement mechanisms are then outlined, Carrier Aggregation, MIMO and Collaborative Multipoint. The key Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) features enabled by LTE Advanced are then examined The LTE IMS based service creation architecture is then outlined, along LTE voice service mechanisms. The course concludes with an LTE security overview.
