Oct 20, 2011: New Training Course "LTE Evolution and the Way to 5G"

flip_crt_gen_lte_evolution_to_5g.jpgWe proudly announce the availability of our new training course
"LTE Evolution and the Way to 5G".

We are glad to pre-announce the soon availability of our new course "LTE Evolution and the Way to 5G". The main focus of this 2-day course is the evolution of the LTE system from LTE to LTE-Advanced (3GPP Rel. 10 and 11) and beyond. After a recap of the key parameter of the LTE access scheme, as well as MIMO, the course lists the motivating factors to migrate towards LTE-Advanced. In addition the course presents other evolutions inside the system, which include functions of SON, interworking challenges with other RATs and finally an outlook towards 5G.

Questions like:

  • Can HSPA+ ever be considered as a 4G technology?
  • What are the main improvements of LTE-Advanced compared to LTE?
  • How does LTE-Advanced meet or even exceed the ITU 4G requirements?
  • What are the business drivers of SON and where can SON help?

will be answered during this course.

Jul 18, 2011: New Training Course "IMS from A-Z - Reloaded"

flip_ims_a-z.jpgWe proudly announce the availability of our new training course
"IMS from A-Z - Reloaded".

We are pleased to introduce our updated training course "IMS from A-Z - Reloaded". This course addresses the needs of everybody who needs to understand the technology and services of the IMS. New sections focus on voice over LTE functionality utilizing an IMS domain and the reasoning for this architecture according to 3GPP Rel. 8. We will also provide an actual deployment status overview for the different rollouts in Europe and North America. The course concludes with the presentation of a real-life implementation of an IMS.

Questions like:

  • Why is IMS becoming an important complement for mobile operator's LTE deployments?
  • What is the deployment status in Europe and North America in combination with LTE?
  • Where is LTE mobility an issue vs static LTE rollouts (settop boxes / DSL replacement and complement)?
  • What are typical IMS-specific applications and services like "See what I see" and how do they work?
  • What are the functions of the different network nodes inside the IMS?
  • What are the differences between different SIP-server types like proxy, B2BUA and SBC?
  • How do real-life implementations of the IMS look like?

will be answered during this course.

Apr 27, 2011: New Training Course
"LTE - Signaling & Layer 1 Design incl. TDD"

flip_lte_layer1.jpgWe proudly announce the availability of our new training course
"LTE - Signaling & Layer 1 Design incl. TDD".

The course explains not only the concepts of LTE´s Layer 1 but also demonstrates how the higher layers are built on top of the physical layer. We describe the behavior of higher layers (e.g. RLC/MAC, RRC and NAS and above) which are in one way or the other similar to EGPRS, HSPA+. We teach the relationship between downlink SINR and CQI(s), Rank Indication and Precoding Matrix derivation. We explain the allocation of cell-specific and UE-specific Reference Signals in a Resource Block for uplink and downlink and guide the student to the calculation of level-based RSRP and quality-based RSRQ measurements.

Questions like:

  • What are the bandwidth needs of various UE categories to support maximum throughput?
  • How are the EPS-Bearers mapped on Data Radio Bearers and how are these mapped onto Logical Channels?
  • What are the differences between periodical reporting using PUCCH and aperiodic reporting using PUSCH?
  • What is the gain of SC-FDMA in uplink compared to pure OFDM in downlink?

will be answered during this course.

Feb 15, 2011: New training course
"LTE Multi-RAT" Interworking with 4G & 2G/3G

flip_lte_multi-rat.jpgWe are pleased to introduce our new training course "LTE Multi-RAT".
This course focuses on the inter-system operation between the new EPS and the legacy GSM/UMTS networks and explains how CS services are supported in LTE. This course explains the functionality of Idle Signaling Reduction and UE´s priority-based cell reselection among GERAN, UTRAN and E-UTRAN using Subscriber Profile ID and the SPID for RAT/frequency priority parameters.

Questions like:

  • What is the legacy GERAN/UTRAN Architecture requiring the UE to support NMO-1, 2 or 3?
  • How can ISR help in reducing the Routing and Tracking Area Updates?
  • What are the differences between Network Operation Modes in GERAN/UTRAN and UE Operation modes in EPS?
  • How can a Voice call be supported in EPS and how is Service Continuity ensured between different RAT´s?

will be answered during this course.

Dec 13, 2010: New training course "From LTE to LTE-Advanced"

flip_lte-advanced.jpg We proudly like to announce our new training course
"From LTE to LTE-Advanced".
This course addresses the needs of technical managers, engineers and technicians who are involved in the design, consideration and development of LTE and other 3GPP cellular standards and in particular the evolution from LTE to LTE Advanced.
The course focuses on both sides, UE/Mobile as well as network. We will discuss in detail the changes and enhancements that will be introduced with LTE-Advanced, such as the increase in throughput, Spectral Efficiency, the relationship with LTE, Carrier Aggregation, Coordinated Multipoint Transmission and the use of Relay Nodes.

Questions like:

  • What are the technologies behind the various specification evolutions from 2G to 4G abd what is the current status of the LTE implementations?
  • How does a voice call setup work with LTE, what are the options and what are the benefits of using VoLGA or IMS?
  • How does Intra- and Inter-Band Carrier Aggregation work to obtain the required system bandwidth?

will be answered during this course.

In that respect, the course focuses on both sides, UE/Mobile as well as network.

Questions like:

  • Why is there a need for WiFi to interwork with the EPC of 3GPP Rel. 8 and later and what are the different options for network access?
  • How does a voice call setup work with WiFi, what are the options and what are the benefits of using VoLGA or IMS?
  • How is authentication of the terminal being done in case of roaming through WiFi instead of using LTE access?
  • Which roles may the network and the UE take on when it comes to interworking?
  • How is access permission being handled in case of non trusted non 3GPP access networks?
