NIEUW - MOBILE BROADBAND WIRELESS NETWORKING: LTE and WiMAX2-daagse cursus 7 en 8 juni 2012; Delft |
Intro
Mobile broadband technologies enable multimedia rich Internet content to be provided over wireless devices with the same user experience as the Internet. To date, Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access (WiMAX) are two standardized mobile broadband technologies. The course examines the fundamental concepts, e.g. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC), which are common to both mobile broadband technologies to an in-depth coverage of the protocol operation of each of the mobile broadband technologies.What you learn as a participant
Upon completion of the course, you will understand the technical differences and similarities between these two mobile broadband technologies.

This three-day course covers two eminent mobile broadband technologies, namely LTE and WiMAX. The course comprises three core parts. The first part begins with a review of LTE network and protocol architecture in order to fully establish the context of radio interface operation. Then this part examines LTE from the fundamental concepts of OFDM and MIMO technologies to detailed protocol operation of the Physical layer and the Layer 2.
The second part is dedicated to WiMAX. This part presents the WiMAX network architecture model followed by an in-depth coverage of the Physical layer and the MAC layer. The course concludes with a look at next-generation mobile broadband technology, i.e. LTE-Advanced, which is still in the research and standardization phase.

Who should attend
The course is aimed at telecommunications managers and professionals who require a comprehensive overview and a technical introduction to LTE and WiMAX; telecommunications engineers who are involved in network design and planning, network deployment, network operations, product design and development; and academics and graduate students who wish to get themselves up-to-date with the latest development in mobile broadband technologies.
Basic knowledge of 2G and 3G mobile technologies would be an advantage but not essential.
