Description

This course is intended for students interested in understanding the UMTS LTE (Long-Term Evolution), the radio access network evolution, and SAE (System Architecture Evolution), the infrastructure evolution of UMTS supporting LTE. With the current dominance of UMTS in 3G worldwide deployments, LTE/SAE is likely to be the dominant 4G technology as well. Understanding this technology will be essential for anyone planning for the next generation in mobile broadband radio technology. This course has been designed to explain the new SAE architecture and major protocols and includes coverage of major operational scenarios illustrating the message flows. This course has also been designed to provide an intuitive understanding of how the OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and SC-FDMA (Single Carrier- Frequency Division Multiple Access) technologies work and how the capabilities of these technologies will enable significantly higher performance than 3G.
