Course Description

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the most recent cellular system to be deployed. This course focuses on the evolution of wireless communications technology and networks with a conentration on an end-to-end LTE system view and the influence of emerging IP networks. Topics addressed include: 

• Evolution of wireless core networks
• Access networks and wireless services
• LTE technology, standards, and features
• Phased evolution
• Service architecture, network management, security
  How LTE may develop over the next 3-5 years
  Implications of moving toward all IP based networks & services

Course participants can use the "chat" feature of the GoTo Meeting platform to share their questions with the instructor. The instructor will make every effort to address all questions throughout the lecture and in the interest of what is most relevant to the topic(s) being discussed. 

The live course will be recorded during the live session and made available to course registrants for one week. Access for registered students is unlimted during the week the course is posted online.
