Network Evolution

LTE Explained

20-21 November, London
Alongside LTE World Summit

This course explains the evolution from the 3G and 3.5G networks of today towards the Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology standard. LTE and the associated System Architecture Evolution (SAE) standards are being defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to provide an evolution route for UMTS network operators towards Fourth Generation (4G) mobile networks.

The course briefly reviews the technology roadmap from 2G through to 3.5G technologies and then explores the LTE technology and the corresponding core network evolution to explain how these technologies will enhance telecommunications services and applications.

A global outlook is provided by an analysis of the 3GPP2 standards family and the Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) proposal, as well as an overview of WiMAX standards and their possible role in the future landscape of mobile services.
