Course Name:		3G LTE/4G Training: The Next Generation Mobile Networks Training
Deployment Options:		Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
Course Duration:		2-3 days depending on audience background and options

Introduction:

This course seeks to provides insight into the development 3G LTE and 4G, the next generation of mobile networks. 3G LTE, which stands for 3G Long Term Evolution, is being standardized by 3GPP and 3GPP2 and is often described as “3.9G”. It is a technology that will enable cellular networks to support up to 10 times higher data rate and more users than existing HSxPA networks. It will employ OFDM and MIMO technologies which will allow mobile operators to offer true “quad play” services, i.e., voice, high-speed, IPTV and full mobility. 3G LTE is designed to provide a simple evolutionary path for UMTS operators as they migrate from UMTS to HSDPA to HSUPA and then onto 3G LTE, also called HSOPA. 4G is the successor to the wireless access technologies of the 3G era. To cater to the QoS and data rate requirements of the forthcoming applications such as High Definition TV and DVB, 3GPP and IEEE (which are along the 3GP working groups), have decided that 4G should be very spectrally efficient, should dynamically share and utilize the network resources, have a high data rate and capacity larger than 3G, have smooth handovers across heterogeneous networks, and should be based on an all-IP packet switched network. Several telecom equipment giants are currently testing 4G communication at 100Mbps while moving and 1Gbps while stationary. The course covers the fundamental principles of 3G LTE and 4G, such as MC-CDMA, OFDM and OFDMA as well as MIMO, IPv6, AMC and Software Defined Radios. Discussed are the overall architecture, protocols, RF planning and considerations as well as 4G services infrastructures that will enable very high data rate wireless broadband services.

Audience:

This course is aimed at those with background in GSM and UMTS who wish to understand how these networks will evolve as part of the long-term evolution of the 3G wireless technologies. The standard presentation of this course assumes a bachelor of science in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related subject along with an appropriate background in communications and 3G

Prerequisites:

You should have some familiarity with communications engineering as well as a general understanding of GSM, UMTS, 1xRTT., and WIMAX

Customize it:

This 2-3-day 3G LTE/4G: The Next Generation Mobile Networks 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 need 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.

Objectives:

Get detailed insight into the state of the technical art of 3G LTE and 4G mobile radio networks Understand fundamental building blocks of 3G LTE/4G Understand the 3G LTE /4G architecture Understand the different protocols involved in achieving high data rates in 3G LTE/4G Learn how OFDM, MIMO and SDR work Learn all about the 3G LTE/4G air interface Learn the operation of handovers over heterogeneous networks Learn the evolution path to 4G services
