Overview
This seminar takes the participant through the transition of a UMTS network to an LTE network. It highlights the main additions and modifications as the LTE network evolves. LTE focuses in providing higher capacity in network
It is designed to give participants a technical overview of new features and solutions in the LTE, LTE-Advanced and 5G environment. All aspects of LTE Advanced technology will be covered in this course including Carrier Aggregation, MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), the use of Relay nodes and CoMP (Coordinated Multipoint) operation. In this course also, participants will be introduced to HetNet technology, how it works and how important it will be in our future network deployment.
You will be able to
- Describe the LTE connection life cycle
