COURSE OVERVIEW
LTE is a 4G wireless 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. The radio access network and especially the air interface is the major focus of technology enhancements that enable the high bit rate broadband data transfers between the service platform and the mobile devices.
This LTE Radio Access Training course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the development, design, and capabilities of the LTE radio technologies and access network. The LTE Radio Access Training course will begin with a review of existing 3GPP and alternative technologies. The LTE access network is studied in detail, and a brief discussion of the core network is included as well. The LTE air interface is examined in detail from a technology viewpoint as well as a procedural perspective. The course concludes with a study of LTE operations and procedures and a look at the LTE Advanced functionality.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completing this LTE Radio Access Training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:
- Describe the motivation for LTE
- State the performance objectives of LTE
- Understand the LTE physical layer technologies and principles
- Understand the LTE protocols and procedures
- Describe the LTE operations and procedures
CUSTOMIZE IT
- Let us know your reason for studying LTE so we can customize the course to your specific needs. The LTE Radio Access Training course is designed to focus on LTE radio aspects, but a brief study of core network elements is included so the audience will see how the radio access interacts with the core network. A longer course, combining both the radio and core network topics is also available.
- If you are familiar with some aspects of this training course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
- We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the LTE Radio Access Training around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
- If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
