Course Description

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the most recent cellular system to be deployed. In an article featured in ElectronicsWeekly.com, Richard Wilson writes:

LTE is set to become the most successful mobile phone standard with the fastest commercial deployment, according to the GSA mobile suppliers association. ..."With 145 LTE networks commercially launched and over 560 user devices announced in the market supporting millions of customers worldwide, LTE technology is mainstream and firmly established as the fastest developing mobile system technology ever," said Alan Hadden, President of the GSA.GSA forecasts that 234 LTE networks will be commercially launched in 83 countries by the end of 2013.

Take this one day course to learn what LTE is, why it'sused, how it works taking a closer look at related concepts, technology advances and new network and service paradigms in addition to understanding it's future directions. In this course Lee Vishloff will focus 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. This course focuses on:

Wireless Landscape & Technology Evolution
LTE Channel and Transmission Technologies
Wireless Networks Evolution
All-IP and Evolved Packet Core
LTE Policy & QoS
LTE /EPC VoIP & IMS
Wireless Services
Operational Efficiency & Self-Organizing Networks
LTE Ecosystem Evolution

Learn about LTE Advanced features which give it its improved throughput and flexibility.

You can ask Lee questions using the questions tab on your GoTo Webinar panel. The course will be recorded and you will have access to it for seven days once it's posted online.

Course Content

This course covers wireless access technology evolution (from 3G systems like UMTS/WCDMA to LTE); from the perspectives of standards and capabilities; LTE access technology, phased roadmap and LTE-Advanced; End-to-End LTE system view, evolution, and trends; network management and security; LTE core - evolved packed core; wireless service evolution; All-IP Network service implications; LTE voice services and IMS.

Course Materials

Each registered student receives a print copy of the instructor's slides and access to the streaming video recording (voice over powerpoint) of the course for seven days. Earn 0.6 IEEE Continuing Education Untis for participating.

COURSE CANCELLATION and REFUND POLICY

Requests for online course cancellations must be received 7 business days prior to the course date for a full refund. Once course materials have been shipped to a course participant, if a cancellation request is made, only a 50% refund can be issued and transferring the seat to a future course date cannot be accommodated. Refunds for in-person courses can be issued up to 5 days prior to the course.

Clarification on Course Materials and Delivery.

A copy of the instructor's PowerPoint slide presentation is provided via post to all online course registrants. For in-person courses the handout is distributed on site. The handout is provided as a courtesy and is made available for the course participants future reference. For registrants who purchase a seat in a course less than 7 business days prior to the course being taught, there is no guarantee that the course materials will arrive by the date the course is taught online. Having a copy of the slides in hand does not preclude a registrants ability to participate in the live teaching of the course or their ability to review the recorded session.
