VERSION 1.1

COURSE NUMBER TMO18214

DELIVERY TYPE Instructor-Led

3 Days

Virtual Class

18 Hour(s)

DESCRIPTION Overall Description

In this comprehensive introductory course designed for Customers and ALU staff, learners

master the LTE radio principles. It is a first step towards the job-oriented courses

concerning the configuration, the optimization and the monitoring of the air interface.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants:

• Explain what are the drivers of the LTE and what are the key differentiators of the LTE

standard compared to the existing technologies

• Explain what is the principle of the OFDMA.

• Describe the structure of the radio frame and how the channels (logical, transport and

physical) are mapped on to the resources

• List and describe the steps of the RRC connection

• Describe the bearer establishment and all the radio operations required during the traffic

• Describe the different antenna systems available and explain their interest

• Describe the mechanism of mobility when the UE is connected with the handover and

when the UE is not connected with the idle mode and the paging
