Course title

LTE Radio Interface - Physical Layer

Ordering number

TA-TC 1820

Duration

4 days / web session 5x3 hours

Target audience

LTE FDD planner, radio engineers, radio optimization engineers, personal concerned with performance measurement.

Objectives

The course describes the physical layer of the LTE Air Interface E-UTRA (3GPP Rel. 11) with focus on the FDD mode. The LTE radio transmission (modulation, coding, antenna mapping) with all relevant physical channels and the physical layer procedures (cell search, random access, synchronization etc.) are explained. Flexibility and capabilities of the LTE Air Interface solution will be discussed.
