Why this LTE course?

This in-depth course covers all aspects of LTE, including:

  • The environment and the forces shaping it.
  • The physical changes involving MIMO antennas.
  • The move from CDMA to OFDM.
  • The logical air interface channels to the necessary architectural and core network changes.
  • Specific aspects such as security and handover to non-3GPP technologies.
  • The co-existence, or otherwise, of LTE and WiMAX.

LTE Training Course Objectives

On completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the mobile arena and the goals of LTE
  • Appreciate the evolutionary path towards LTE
  • Be aware of major air interface features including SC-FDMA
  • Gain an understanding of the radio channels at both physical and logical levels
  • Know the principles of LTE security
  • Appreciate the manoeuvreings between LTE and Mobile WiMAX

Who should attend this LTE course

  • Technical personnel needing an in-depth understanding of LTE (Long Term Evolution).
  • Technical staff employed by or contracted to mobile network operators, manufacturers, integrators or regulators.
  • People needing to understand the LTE air interface or LTE core network should attend this course before attending the LTE Air Interface or Core Network courses.

LTE Course Pre-requisites

The course assumes some familiarity with existing UMTS systems such as can be acquired by attending Lever Technology course 663, UMTS System Overview.

Lifetime Post-Course Support

After completing this LTE training course, delegates receive lifetime post-training support from LEVER Technology Group, to help them apply the technologies and skills they have learned with us, to provide career-long support, and to ensure they are better equipped for their future roles in IT and networking.
