COURSE OVERVIEW
In this LTE Network Planning Training course, you will learn the key principles of cell planning and capacity calculations for an LTE network. Complete instruction will be provided to estimate LTE capacity and expected throughput considering all of the parameters that affect performance including MAC scheduler and SINR conditions. We will also consider control channels to fulfill certain threshold conditions. We will undertake capacity calculations related to expected bandwidth over IP transport. Throughout the course, we will use practical exercises and case studies to illustrate the planning concepts and techniques.
