LTE Fundamentals
Overview
3G LTE is now well established around the world, with over 270 commercial networks now in service it is commonly recognised as the fastest growing mobile technology ever.
This in-depth course covers all aspects of LTE, from the environment and forces shaping it, the physical changes involving MIMO antennas and the move from CDMA to OFDM, through the logical air interface channels to the necessary architectural and core network changes. We will also investigate major release updates from Release 8 through to Release 12 and discuss what network operators and service providers are likely to encounter during their roll out period.
Objectives
By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:
- Understand the important features of Release 8 through to 12
- Describe the nodes and their functions of the complete EPS environment
- Explain the functionality of the PCRF
- Describe the Default EPS Setup procedure
- Understand the 3G LTE Autnetication procedure
- Undetstand the basics of OFDM technology
- Explain the use of Resource Block & Grids
- Understand Cyclic Prefixes
- Explain the importance and usee of the X2 interface
- Understand basic MIMO technology
- Describe the use of Tracking Areas
- Understand the temporary addressing used by the MME & eNodeB
- Describe the Voice support options available in EPS
- Describe the QoS options supported in EPS
Target Audience
This course is targeted at engineers working in the mobile environment, sales and support staff, managers and team leaders, who all need to understand the fundamental operation and components that make up the 3G LTE network. It will be assumed no prior knowledge of LTE is held.
