Course Overview

Course in a Nutshell

Another one in our series of courses on LTE, this course is focused on the important task of network planning.  In this course, we will undertake an in-depth study of the considerations related to the planning of LTE networks including idle mode behavior, channel conditions, and frequency planning models. The course includes case studies to help you thoroughly understand the capacity planning process.

 

Customize It!

  • If you lack the necessary prerequisite knowledge of LTE, we can extend the course to five days to include the LTE basics needed to understand the planning issues.
  • Would you like us to focus the course on the particular challenge, say capacity planning or frequency planning, now facing you?  Let us know so we can emphasize the topics most relevant to your needs.
  • If you are a core network engineer charged with expanding the transmission network to accommodate the LTE air interface capacity, we can focus on the considerations that go into the planning of MPBN.

 

Audience / Prerequisites

Aimed At

This course is aimed at wireless network designers who have a good understanding of LTE and wish to learn how to plan LTE networks.
