LTE Functionality Training:

LTE Functionality Training Course with hands-on Exercises (Online, Onsite and Classroom Live)

This LTE Functionality Training course will undertake an in-depth study of the LTE air interface.  It will begin with a discussion of the radio channel environment and the related RF propagation issues to help you understand the problems that OFDM/MIMO solve.

This is followed by a discussion of the modulation principles along with a detailed look at the LTE physical layer structure as it complements the modulation and MIMO channels. We  conclude with a discussion of the LTE idle mode functionality and physical layer procedures with emphasis on the channel quality and random access techniques.

Also connected mode — with emphasis on scheduler, power control and Link Adaptation — is further analyzed, and user mobility cases are explicitly presented with emphasis on parameter configuration and optimization.
