Course Overview
The course is focused on the specifics of the LTE-Advanced architecture, functionalities and Radio aspects. A discussion of the main differences between LTE and LTE-Advanced is presented, followed by a discussion of the various implications of carrier aggregation, MIMO schemes and Transmission modes, Interference coordination as well as eMBMS. Special attention is given to the Rel.12/13 Device-To-Device communication and the Sidelink protocol. The course ends with a review of the evolvement towards the 5G.
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.Prerequisite:
Basic knowledge of telecommunications is expected from the participants, as well as familiarity with LTE.
