Alternative dates: 30 Sep – 1 Oct, London | 20-21 Oct, Dubai | 8-9 Dec, Dubai

This 2-day course explains the evolution from the 3G and 3.5G networks of today towards the Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology standard. LTE and theassociated System Architecture Evolution (SAE) standards are being defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to provide an evolution routefor UMTS network operators towards Fourth Generation (4G) mobile networks.

LTE Explained briefly reviews the technology roadmap from 2G through to 3.5G technologies and then explores the LTE technology and the corresponding corenetwork evolution to explain how these technologies will enhance telecommunications services and applications.

A global outlook is provided by an analysis of the 3GPP2 standards family and the Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) proposal, as well as an overview of WiMAXstandards and their possible role in the future landscape of mobile services

1. Describe the evolution of the major mobile technologies from 2G to 3.5Gand beyond.

2. Identify the market drivers for mobile broadband services andapplications.

3. Describe the LTE and SAE concepts within the 3GPP standards family.4. Identify the functionality of LTE and describe its operation.

5. List the features of SAE and describe how the architecture can supportthese features.

6. Describe migration strategies for 2G/3G network operators progressingtowards LTE/SAE.

7. Identify how WiMAX relates to the mobile 3G technology standards.

LTE Air Interface 6-7 Nov, London | www.telecomsacademy.com/lteairinterface

This training course will cover the major aspects of the LTE Air Interface in a manner that both technical and non-technical people will be able to fullyappreciate. The course begins with a review of the LTE system architecture in order to fully establish the context of the radio interface operation and protocols.This initial section will also cover issues related to spectrum and deployment of LTE systems as well as comparing the 3 three main “evolutionary” radiotechnologies, LTE, WiMAX and UMB.

The central theme to LTE is the OFDMA and SC-FDMA radio multiplexing and modulation technique, the operation of this technology is explained and thechoice of technologies used for LTE physical layer are justified. Layer 2 of the LTE protocol stack contains three sub-layers, MAC, RLC and PDCP as well as thecontrol protocol RRC, and the main elements of each of these protocols is explained, showing how each relates to issues of mobility and mobility managementwith examples of typical procedures given. Architectural and operational aspects of the Multicast Broadcast Multimedia Service are also covered.
