COURSE OVERVIEW
LTE is a fourth-generation mobile communication technology standardized by the 3GPP that enables support for broadband connectivity to mobile devices, permitting the delivery of demanding multimedia information to any device, anywhere, anytime. In support of this, changes to the core network are also defined as System Architecture Evolution (SAE), providing an all-IP bearer platform for the delivery of services.
This LTE Core Network Training course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the development, design, and capabilities of SAE. The LTE Core Network Training course will begin with a review of UMTS and HSPA evolution and the architecture of LTE/SAE. An in-depth study of the SAE core entities and their functionality, the interfaces, and the protocols used over those interfaces follows. Signaling and NAS procedures, interworking scenarios, and services are described.
The focus of the course then shifts to transport options for the deployment of LTE/SAE as next-generation network infrastructure. Carrier-class MPLS is described in detail. The course finishes by examining transport options for access, backhaul, and core network.
