OVERVIEW:
The Long term evolution (LTE) radio access network is a new physical technology to give user equipment (UE) access to the CORE network. The physical method used in LTE is based on OFDMA and SC-FDMA. For LTE-Advanced SC-FDMA will change to DFT-S-OFDM in UL. LTE allows to work on the air interface with flexible bandwidth (1.4 – 20 MHz). In LTE-A with carrier aggregation (CA) it is possible to have 5 times this frequency bands. The latency (<100 ms) in the access network is reduced and the data throughput is increased (up to 320 Mbps). In LTE-A we have up to 3/1,5 Gbps transmission with CA and more MIMO antennas. Protocol stacks are simplified and protocol states are reduced. 4 x MIMO antenna systems in downlink can be used. In LTE-A we use 8 x MIMO in downlink and 4 x MIMO in uplink. LTE-A is introducing Relay Nodes and CoMP transmission. It is evolving eSON, eHeNB, eMBMS. LTE-A will have the structure of heterogeneous networks and a new machine to machine communication is introduced. A new device to device communication is introduced especially for PWS. The CORE network is based on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). LTE and LTE-A can work as a single network but is normally used together with GSM, UMTS and CDMA2000 networks. The training will also show the discussions beyond LTE-Advanced. LTE is defined from 3GPP in Release 8/9, LTE-A is defined in Rel 10/11/12/13/14 and 15.
COURSE TARGET:
The participants are familiar with telecommunication systems like GSM/UMTS. They will learn to understand the new LTE telecommunication network. From the physical level on the air interface up to the network design and the used protocols and messages.
