Introduction:
 
This course will undertake an in-depth study of the 3G LTE air interface. The course will begin with a discussion of the radio channel environment and the related RF propagation issues to help you understand the problems that OFDM/MIMO solve. This is followed by a discussion of the modulation principles along with a detailed look at the 3G LTE physical layer structure as it complements the modulation and MIMO channels. The transmitter and receiver parameters and techniques, based on the 3GPP specifications, are then presented. The course concludes with a discussion of the physical layer procedures with emphasis on the channel quality and random access techniques.
 
Audience:
 

Delegates needing an in-depth understanding of:

  • LTE (Long Term Evolution)
  • Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA).
  • Physical layer
  • MAC layer

Such delegates would be employed or contracted to

  • Operators
  • Manufacturers
  • Integrators
  • Regulators
 
Prerequisites:
 
The UMTS course, or equivalent knowledge/experience, is a required prerequisite for this course. LTE overview is a recommended prerequisite but not mandatory.
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day LTE Air Interface course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of Wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization?s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really eed even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class. Please call or e-mail to schedule a no-obligation conference call to help us understand your audience background and training objectives.
