DESCRIPTION

Overall Description
In this comprehensive introductory course designed for Customers and ALU staff, learners
master the LTE radio principles. It is a first step towards the job-oriented courses
concerning the configuration, the optimization and the monitoring of the air interface.

Virtual Class
18 Hour(s)

Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants:
Explain what are the drivers of the LTE and what are the key differentiators of the LTE
standard compared to the existing technologies
Explain what is the principle of the OFDMA.
Describe the structure of the radio frame and how the channels (logical, transport and
physical) are mapped on to the resources
List and describe the steps of the RRC connection
Describe the bearer establishment and all the radio operations required during the traffic
Describe the different antenna systems available and explain their interest
Describe the mechanism of mobility when the UE is connected with the handover and
when the UE is not connected with the idle mode and the paging
