Evolution to 4G Wireless

No Courses

With the continued evolution of third-generation cellular systems and the introduction of technologies such as WiMAX, there is considerable debate about the next generation of wireless systems, known as �Beyond 3G� or 4G.

Attend this training course and you will explore the current developments in wireless technologies and illustrate the possible next steps in wireless evolution required to realise 4G capabilities. You will learn the evolutionary paths of the major wireless standards UMTS (3GPP), 1xEV-DO (3GPP2) and IEEE802 networks towards 4G.

Why should you attend this course?

Complete this essential 2-day technology training course and you will be able to:

Understand the market and technology trends in wireless systems and appreciate the role of wireless in future telecoms networks
Identify the main features of the 3GPP standards releases and the objectives of the 3GPP Long Term Evolution standard
Identify the main features of the 3GPP2 standards releases and the objectives of the 3GPP2 Ultra Mobile Broadband project
Describe the IEEE802 wireless standards, the features of WiMAX and its role in shaping 4G wireless systems
Discuss advanced radio technologies (i.e. IFDM and MIMO) common to the major wireless standards
Identify the role of the ITU in standards development and learn about the current status of global 4G development
