4G Enablers – OFDM and MIMO: For Technical Audiences (W-ENB, half-day)
Target Audience, Prerequisites, and Brief Description
This half-day e-learning course (pre-recorded webinar) is aimed at technically savvy audiences with prior exposure to UMTS and HSPA technologies.
We will begin by reviewing the standards work in progress across various national and international groups such as the 3GPP, IEEE, and ITU. We will discuss the technologies that are among the main building blocks of the 4G wireless systems. Included are HSPA+, OFDM, advanced antenna systems, MIMO, adaptive modulation and coding, and all IP networks. We will take a particularly close look at OFDM and MIMO. You will go away with an overview of the technological forces that are shaping the emerging 4G technologies.
