Those with an understanding of UMTS and HSPA who wish to study the evolving 3G LTE/4G technology in depth.

In this advanced course, you will undertake an in-depth study of the evolving 3G LTE and 4G wireless technologies.

3G Long-Term Evolution (3G LTE), being standardized by 3GPP and 3GPP2, is the next step up in the evolution of UMTS/HSPA networks. Often dubbed “3.9G”, it will enable wireless networks to support up to 10 times higher data rates and more users than the existing HSDPA/HSUPA networks. Leveraging OFDM and MIMO, it will allow the mobile operators to offer true “quad play” services: voice, high-speed, IPTV, and full mobility.

4G is the successor technology to the 3G era. To address QoS and data rate requirements of the forthcoming applications such as HD-TV and DVB, the 4G working groups, 3GPP and IEEE, have stipulated that 4G be based on an all-IP packet switched network and embody a high degree of spectral efficiency, dynamic use and sharing of network resources, higher data rates and capacity than 3G, and smooth handovers across heterogeneous networks. Several telecom OEMs are currently testing 4G communication at 100Mbps while moving and 1Gbps while stationary.

In this course, we will study all the latest advances in 3G LTE/4G including SC-FDMA, OFDM and OFDMA as well as MIMO, IPv6, AMC and Software Defined Radios. You will study the overall architecture, protocols, LTE and 4G radio network planning as well as 4G services infrastructures that make very high data rate wireless broadband services possible.
