Course Description - LTE L13 Radio Network Design

LTE L13 Radio Network Design
LZU1089105 R1A
Description
What is the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) strategy for the UMTS Network? How does
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDMA) and Single-Carrier Frequency
Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) used in the evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access
Network (eUTRAN) produce data rates in excess of 100 Mbps? What types of traffic are
carried by the LTE Network? How is the coverage and capacity of an LTE cell calculated?
How is the LTE Radio Network implemented with Ericsson hardware?
This LTE L13 Network Design course introduces attendees to the concepts of LTE and the
operation of OFDMA and SC-FDMA. With this knowledge they will be guided through the
LTE Radio Network dimensioning process and given the opportunity to perform sample LTE
dimensioning exercises. They will also be introduced to the TEMS CellPlanner LTE module
and the hardware that supports the Ericsson LTE L13 network.
