Introduction:
 
This is the second one in our series of courses on 3G LTE/4G aimed at technical audiences. The first one, LTE/SAE: A Technology Overview, is a recommended prerequisite.

This course provides detailed information on the signaling layers in LTE air interfaces including the channel structures and the mapping up to the physical layer. The idle mode and connected mode functionalities are discussed in details as are the issues related to Radio Resource Management (RRM), Mobility Management (MM), and scheduling over the air interface.
 
Audience:
 
  • Delegates needing an in-depth understanding of the area of LTE's (Long Term Evolution) signalling
  • Telecom professionals working in the areas of LTE hardware and software development
  • LTE system engineering and in the testing and verification field

Such delegates would be employed or contracted to:

  • Operators
  • Manufacturers
  • Integrators
  • Regulators
 
Prerequisites:
 
Delegates are expected to have a good knowledge of UMTS and/or LTE but no RF knowledge is required
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day LTE Signalling 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.
