LTE Advanced Training:

LTE Advanced Training Course (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live!

The LTE Advanced Training course begins with a review of the RF/wireless basics, 3GPP standards evolution, and a discussion of the key 4G-enabling technologies such as OFDM, MIMO, and HARQ. This is followed by a comprehensive discussion of the physical layer for both the uplink and the downlink, antennas employed with LTE, and spectrum management issues. The LTE Advanced Training course concludes with a look at the state-of-the-art of LTE deployment as well as the future of LTE technology evolution.

Customize It:

• If you are familiar with some aspects of LTE Advanced Training, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
• We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the LTE Advanced Training course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
• If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the LTE Advanced Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
