Course details
As operators ready themselves to deploy LTE, a good understanding of planning considerations for its successful rollout is essential. This course presents, in a theoretical and practical way, the parameters necessary to plan an LTE network, from a RF coverage point of view.
The course begins with a quick reminder of LTE system architecture and air interface characteristics. It is then followed by a discussion of uplink and downlink link budget The course provides hands-on practice on Link budget calculations and associated formulations to analyze sensitivity impact across variables and to resolve specific case studies.
Expected Accomplishments
- Explain the LTE Air Interface Structure
- Explain the principles of OFDM A and SC-FDMA
- Formulate LTE link budgets for uplink and downlink considering channel bandwidth, TX, RX and transmission parameters
- Derive SNR requirements for a given cell edge throughput
- Estimate slow fade margin for a given cell edge probability
- Describe resource allocation in the uplink and downlink
- Describe the LTE frame format in the downlink and uplink
- Perform uplink and downlink coverage and capacity calculations for LTE.
- Understand traffic modeling for LTE
- Highlight the main factors that impact cell capacity
- Evaluate the cell capacity
- Estimate the number of sites based on coverage and capacity
