LTE-A to LTE-C Design Details & System Engineering

Training Course Description

This course addresses the needs of technical engineering staff who work on the design, test, integration and validation of LTE-Advanced equipment, both network and UE-side.
The course provides a thorough review of LTE-releases 8 and 9 before jumping deep into everything you need to understand about design details and system engineering in LTE-Advanced.
Starting out with the details of carrier aggregation, the following chapters are dedicated to all LTE-Advanced features like the new MIMO-modes, HetNet-operation, the integration and operation of relay nodes, the improvements with eICIC and feICIC and a detailed description of the new features with Rel 12 and their realization like for instance "new carrier type", MTC and D2D.

Which carrier aggregation scenarios have been defined in Rel 10, 11 and 12?
Will SRVCC in the direction from LTE to 2G / 3G become applicable and how does this compare to CSFB?
How do remote radio heads (RRH) compare to WiFi-hotspots?
What is the basic difference between WiFi offloading with IFOM and SIPTO?
What is an EPDCCH and how does it operate?
How does CoMP operate in downlink and uplink direction and which advantages does it yield for HetNet operation?
Which new features will be coming with Rel 12 like for instance D2D or MTC?
Which new transmission modes are introduced with LTE-Advanced and which new options do they offer for the new MIMO-modes?
What is the relationship between SRVCC and IMS Service Centralization and Continuity (SCC)?
Do we need to prepare for ZUC as new stream cipher?
How does the UE convey its carrier aggregation related capabilities to the network?
Which new procedures does feICIC yield compared to previous versions of this feature packet?
Why is there a new PUCCH-format 3 and what does it offer compared to previously defined PUCCH-formats?

The course is targeted at engineers and technicians who are involved in the design, integration and test of of LTE-Advanced equipment.

The student should possess detailed knowledge about LTE in Rel 8 and 9, particular about the physical layer.
We recommend to book our course LTE from A-Z beforehand.

The student is enabled to design, integrate, test and validate LTE-Advanced equipment for both, the network side and the UE.
