Our LTE Air Interface Training Course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the air interface for LTE radio access. This course covers OFDMA principles, access and non-access stratum protocols, channel structures, connectivity and mobility management procedures, as well as radio link control functions. Engineers involved in equipment design, operation, optimization, or monitoring of the LTE radio link will benefit greatly from this training.

Participants are expected to have an engineering background with some knowledge of digital radio systems and general radio principles and techniques. A basic understanding of LTE and experience with 2G or 3G systems would also be beneficial. Topics covered in the course include LTE system architecture, E-UTRAN architecture and interfaces, OFDMA/SC-FDMA basic principles, MIMO concepts and implementation, physical layer structures, access and non-access stratum protocols, and more.

Enhance your knowledge and skills in LTE radio access and stay ahead in the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry.

This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.
