Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna systems
LTE air interface
System access, acquisition, and call setup
Downlink/uplink trafﬁc operations
Planning considerations for LTE network deployment
Interworking with existing GSM and 1X/EV-DO CDMA technologies

Audience

Take home valuable information and insights to help you examine, evaluate and prepare for new technologies and the migration from current technologies.
Plan to attend with others whose roles include engineering, planning, operations, evaluation, implementation, product design or testing. Service providers, manufacturers and consultants are among those who will benefit most from this course.
Previous LTE knowledge or experience is not required to benefit, but we recommend some previous wireless mobile or fixed technology experience or education.
