COURSE DESCRIPTION
The delegate attending this course will gain an in depth appreciation of the architecture and operation of
the LTE system including the OFDM based radio interface. As an introduction, the business of LTE and
the evolution of mobile broadband are examined and comparisons are made with HSPA and WiMAX
systems. Possible LTE services are discussed and then used to describe the capabilities required of the
radio and core network components.
The architecture of the LTE network (SAE) is explained and the functions of each network node, MME S-
GW, P-GW, eNB and interfaces X2 and S1 are discussed. The radio interface is based on OFDMA and
supports advanced features such as MIMO and interference management. These concepts are
explained as well as other radio related topics such as IMT spectrum allocations. The LTE protocol stack
and LTE procedures are also covered.
