Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a 4th generation wireless network technology based on OFDM and MIMO. It provides much higher data rates (over 100 Mbps) to users while reducing the cost-per-bit for service providers. This is very exciting to wireless operators who are eager to deploy multimedia-rich Internet content over a wireless medium with seamless access anywhere at any time. This one day course provides an overview of LTE from both application and technical aspects. It gives an overview of the network architecture, the underlying technologies of OFDM and multiple antenna techniques, and the call setup procedure. In addition, the deployment and interworking issues are explored. It also describes the competitive landscape by comparing features and services of other 4G systems such as WiMAX. In summary, this course provides a comprehensive high level view of LTE.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • List the key goals and requirements of LTE • Identify the following aspects of LTE networks: - System architecture - Radio access network and air interface details - Applications and Quality of Service (QoS) - Call setup procedures - Mobility support • Describe the underlying technologies of LTE: OFDM and MIMO • List key planning aspects of deploying LTE, such as multiple antennas and backhaul planning
Intended Audience
This course provides a comprehensive high level view of LTE and is intended for those in business and non-engineering functions as well as those who need to understand LTE and its place in the 4G wireless landscape.
