Training Course Outline
Course Duration:
1 days
Training Course Description:
With 3G mobile technology already rolled out by over 200 operators in
over 80 countries, standards bodies, manufacturers and operators are
looking towards the next generation of mobile technology. The UMTS
standards body, 3GPP has created a plan to achieve ambitious goals
for where mobile communications should go. This is Long Term
Evolution – LTE.
This overview course describes the motivations, timescales and goals
of LTE as well as identifying the technical features of UMTS that
will change to support LTE. This includes, notably, the core network
which has its own evolution plan, SAE, System Architecture
Evolution.
The orientation of the course is such that it is suited to both
non-specialists and technical radio-oriented planners, architects,
etc. New or changed areas described include the use of MIMO antenna
systems, OFDM-based multiple access as well as the architectural
changes.
Prerequisites:
The course assumes some top-level familiarity with existing UMTS
systems but no specific RF expertise is required.
