PART A - WIMAX AS A 4G TECHNOLOGY:

This part introduces WiMAX as a new technology in the wireless telecom arena. Students are walked through the evolution of the standard and are presented to the main concepts of the technology. Part 1 is divided into three main sections:

Section A1 OFDMA Fundamentals: Introduction of the basic concepts of WiMAX, such as the OFDM carrier, sub-carriers, segmentation, symbols, cyclic prefix, duplexing, frames, and zones. Multiple access OFDMA is also explained and a comparison of constant and scalable OFDM is presented.
Section A2 WiMAX Implementation: Explanation of how the main aspects of the technology come together, with description of the operations performed in the uplink and downlink and providing a detailed explanation of the following five functional blocks: bit processing, symbol processing, digital IF processing, analog/digital conversion, and carrier modulation.
Section A3 WiMAX System Performance: Explanation of the components that affect network performance, such as modulation, coding, speed, permutation, HARQ, antenna systems (e.g. MIMO, AMS), and spatial multiplexing.

PART B � SELECTED TOPICS IN WIMAX NETWORKS DESIGN:

This part revisits legacy wireless network design concepts that must be addressed differently in the design of high-speed data networks. The topics covered are divided into three sections:

Diagram FUSC and PUSC Permutation Zones: Discuss several reuse proposals for mobile WiMAX networks.
Section B1 Business Plan: Students understand what is involved in the creation of a WiMAX network business plan. This section explains how to define customers and services offered, and how local regulations, spectrum, and capital availability affect the final engineering plan.
Section B2 The RF Channel: Detailed definition of the RF channel, RF propagation, and RF interference. This sections compares different technologies and covers propagation models, drive testing, model calibration, and interference issues.
Section B3 The WiMAX Network: Students are introduced to different ways of optimizing WiMAX networks, including footprint enhancement, and automatic planning of neighborhood, handover, carrier, and codes. This section also covers network simulation, and traffic and KPI analysis.

PART C � THE FIFTY STEPS OF NETWORK DESIGN:

This part breaks down the complex process of network design into seven main groups (GIS data, project configuration, site location, network optimization, performance analysis, backhaul planning, and performance reports). Students are walked through each of these groups and given a step-by-step methodology to help them through the process.

End of Day 3: Certification Testing Opportunity: At the end of the 3-day boot camp, students will be given instructions on how to complete their WiMAX Forum Network Designer Certification Boot Camp™ certification exam. This exam tests technology concepts and practical design skills covered during this class.
