COURSE OVERVIEW

This LTE-A: Release 10/11 and Beyond Training course provides a fundamental understanding of LTE Advanced, dubbed LTE-A for short. LTE Advanced was introduced in Release 10 to meet the requirements of the ITU IMT-Advanced, but its development extends into Releases 11, 12, and beyond.

The LTE-A: Release 10/11 and Beyond course offers an in-depth overview of features like Carrier Aggregation (CA), HetNets, and Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP). The signaling enhancements to session establishment and RRC connections are covered as well as the changes to mobility and power control procedures for LTE Advanced.  Other LTE Advanced features such as the enhancements for Self-Organizing Networks (SONs) and MIMO techniques are also dealt with in depth in this course.
