Understanding Long Term Evolution LTE In Depth

Training Provided by LEVER Technology Group PLC 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. Some specific aspects such as security and handover to non-3GPP technologies are included. The co-existence of LTE and WiMAX is also reviewed during the course. LTE is an emerging technology. This course evaluates the latest announcements and developments in LTE - making this one of the most u-to-date courses available. Long Term Evolution (LTE) Course Pre-requisites The course assumes some familiarity with existing UMTS systems, which can be acquired by attending LEVER's one-day course 661 - Introduction to UMTS and HSDPA. Why this course?
