LTE Transmission and Core Network Planning
Course Overview
This course introduces LTE IP transport network solutions to transmission design engineers. LTE Transport Network should accommodate the traffic created by cellular coverage. Thus, the correct dimensioning of the Transport Network is critical from the QoS and capacity point of view.
Several technologies could be implemented, such as IP over ATM or IP over Ethernet. Mobile Packet Backbone Network solutions are described in detail and are supported by case studies to help transport designers understand the diverse techniques that can be deployed. Mastering these techniques, participants will learn how to contribute to end-Âto-Âend user throughput optimization.
Target Audience
- Mobile Networks Engineers who wish to gain knowledge about the latest LTE transport network design principles and implementations
- Radio network planners who would like to learn more about the capacity planning of the transport network
- Multimedia Engineer who would like to learn the concepts and theory of LTE/SAE that transports services to mobile users.
