DURATION: 1 Day

Course Overview:

The course dives into specifics of the LTE-Advanced PHY layer. A discussion of the main differences between LTE and LTE-Advanced is presented, followed by an in-depth discussion of the various implications of MIMO schemes and carrier aggregation on the downlink and uplink channels and signals within LTE-Advanced. The course ends with a review of the challenging problem of high-dimensionality MIMO detection which is highly important in LTE-Advanced.

Who should attend?

The seminar is built for Technical, Marketing and Business Development people of the Telecom Service Providers as well as Manufacturers of LTE-Advanced equipment.

Prerequisities:

Basic knowledge of telecommunications is expected from the participants, as well as familiarity with LTE.
