Long Term Evolution (LTE) is hugely significant as the next major piece of the technology jigsaw, and operators, vendors and service providers need real and demonstrable expertise as it is assessed, planned, rolled out and implemented.

The Informa Certified LTE Radio Planning Professional programme provides a detailed look at LTE, concentrating on RF network planning, design and implementation, but also giving valuable insights into LTE efficiency, cost analysis against service propositions, and the effect of LTE adoption on the overall business plan. The Mentum Planet ® LTE radio planning tool and Symena Capesso™ optimization tool add real value to the hands-on planning and analysis exercises.

Successful completion of the (optional) end of course exam will demonstrate you have the knowledge and practical skills to plan an efficient LTE radio network or contribute significantly to the planning and implementation of your organisation’s LTE strategy.

"The best course I have attended in telecoms, answered all my questions on LTE and radio planning. Highly recommended" KL, Andrew Corporation

11 reasons to attend:

This highly practical programme includes extensive hands on experience. Over the course of the 4 days you will:

1. Learn how to plan an efficient LTE radio network 
2. Gain a clear understanding of the OFDMA principle of operation and how it is applied within LTE
3.  Identify LTE modulation and coding schemes and explain how system performance is determined
4.  List the logical, transport and physical channels of LTE and describe their function – relating the channels to service delivery and Quality of Service
5.  Describe the way in which spatial multiplexing and spatial diversity is applied to LTE radio systems
6.  Fully understand the role of MIMO and Adaptive antennas, and how they can be used to improve system performance
7.  Use models to calculate path loss and nominal cell radius, and estimate the capacity required in a typical LTE cell – and factor capacity issues in to the radio planning process
8.  Apply planning and optimisation processes using the industry leading software modelling tools Mentum Planet and Symena Capesso™
9.  Use the tools to analyse and assess system performance under different implementation options
10.  Relate performance and planning scenarios to service provision and relative implementation cost
11.  Take the end of programme exam and demonstrate you have the skills and knowledge required to contribute significantly to the planning and implementation of your organisation’s LTE strategy

Includes key software planning tools

A key feature of this course is the chance to put in to practice and analyse the planning processes with two of the cellular industries leading software modelling tools.

Mentum Planet 5 is used to demonstrate propagation modelling, frequency planning, interference analysis, coverage and capacity for LTE systems. In addition, the tool allows the impact of LTE features such as MIMO and adaptive modulation and coding to be studied. This tool allows a deep appreciation of the theoretical topics discussed and allows the delegate, through practical case studies, to enjoy a hands-on experience.

Capesso™ LTE from Symena provides a fast and efficient solution for automatic LTE network design and business case analysis. “What if” questions for various considerations can be answered quickly and efficiently. This enables identification of the best model for LTE deployment. Because Capesso™ is integrated with Mentum Planet, the output of coverage and capacity predictions can be used as the basis for the optimisation. The results of any in class case studies can be instantly assessed for business case practicality and optimisation.

Who Should Attend this Course?

This course is essential for anyone who will be involved in the planning of an LTE network, some knowledge of radio planning and radio systems would be beneficial for those wishing to attend this course.
