5 DAYS
INSTRUCTOR LED WORKSHOP
“OUR COURSES CAN BE SPECIALLY TAILORED TO ADDRESS YOUR REQUIREMENT – TELECONTRAN”
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The process of designating frequencies, transmitter locations as well as parameters of a wireless communications system to produce adequate coverage and capacity for the services expected is known as RF Planning. Cell Planning and Dimensioning is critical context due to different services offered by 3G, 4G and 5G networks. With the burgeoning of smart devices, M2M, IoT, social networking and location-based services, operators are seeing data usage expansion as a generator of revenues and start focusing on the efficient cell planning and optimization of 3GPP networks.
Telecontran’s 5-day Radio Network Planning and Optimization in 3G / 4G and 5G Network Workshop significantly improves the understanding of the issues and techniques used to effectively plan an efficient and advanced 3G, 4G and 5G cellular network. Along with the up to date information on 3G, HSPA, 4G/LTE and 5G technology, participants will also be taught on 3GPP standards and its relationship with other 3G, 4G and 5G technologies.
After successful completion of this 5-day workshop participants will be able to
- Gain a thorough overview of 3GPP Architecture and 3G, LTE / 4G and 5G Network components
- Improve, optimize, and maintain network performances
- Explain network potential issues that might happen on the radio and BSS and the core network side
- Understand comprehensive knowledge of LTE radio planning techniques and accessible explanation of the underlying technology and standards for 5G New Radio technology
- Plan an efficient 3G/LTE Radio Network
- Compare and contrast NG-RAN and New Radio (NR)
- Learn 3GPP Security factors and necessary algorithms
- Describe different 5G QoS parameters as well as 5G Small Cells.
