The LTE standard also defines a new-layer 2/3 protocol architecture that may at an instant process very high data rates now part of the base station (Node B) and new signaling procedures for call control and mobility management in the Mobility Management Entity (MME). LTE is based on a flat, simplified all IP-based architecture with a reduced number of network entities, a new Quality of Service concept and the support of seamless mobility between heterogeneous access networks. As a result of use of LTE, capacity, peak data rates, user and control-plane latency and deployment cost may be expected to be improved substantially whilst at the same time minimizing terminal complexity.  3GPP has completed standardization and first LTE networks are already in operation. COURSE CONTENTS This training course will provide participants with a detailed understanding of the LTE protocol and signaling as defined in the 36 series of 3GPP specification Release 8. After recapitulating Physical-Layer fundamentals, the course will introduce the LTE user and control-plane architecture. RRC, PDCP, RLC and MAC protocols will be explained in detail and an overview will be given of the various channels defined at the various layers. Eventually, exemplary procedures will be presented for initial access, connection set-up, bearer configuration and hand-over. Next, the course will provide participants with an overview of LTE architecture with various network entities and interfaces of the Evolved Packet Core as well as the underlying QoS concept. Non access stratum procedures such as Mobility Management and Session Management will be presented and specific examples will be mentioned. SYSTEM DEMONSTRATION TOOLS Instead of inviting participants to another theoretical training course, Nomor Research will provide participants with a genuine hands-on training experience involving the use of various interactive demonstration tools. After using the tools, your employees will really understand complex system aspects such as message flows and the primitive exchange between layers and entities. By looking at the demonstrations, participants will understand the difference between theoretical and real deployments, real implementation, real performance!
