IS-Wireles in cooperation with the Prince Sultan Advanced Technologies Research Institute (PSATRI) of the King Saud University is pleased to invite you to a one-day ‘LTE Workshop‘. The workshop is free of charge.

Date: 22.06.2011 (Wednesday)
Place: King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Detailed Outline:

Introduction to LTE

2G to 4G radio and core network evolutions (GSM, UMTS, HSPA, LTE and LTE Advanced) 3GPP requirements imposed on LTE (throughputs, network capacity, delays) Spectrum bands, bandwidths, system parameters and mobile terminal capabilities IMT Advanced requirements for a 4G system

LTE System Overview

The LTE network organization: terminals (mobile phone, laptop, PC), access network, core network and IMS IP in the network: All IP and always-on concepts QoS concept, parameters and possible services Common IP intersystem part: IMS and its relation to IP-CANs

LTE Practical Aspects (tool-based)

Signals and  waveforms of LTE PHY layer  (OFDMA and SC-FDMA signals, radio frame, influence of radio propagation impairments) LTE performence requirements Real istic numbers for LTE network coverage and capacity (theoretical versus practically achievable data-rates) Current status of LTE development Possible LTE deployment scenarios Available handhets and possible evolutions

LTE Services

Potential 4G services Operator based policy and charging flexibility (e.g. generating revenue based on service type – enabled by ALL-IP) Organization of SMS and 2G/3G voice in LTE (problems and solutions) Packet services: MBMS, internet access, VoD, online gaming LTE as competition for fixed networks

Who should attend?
Telecom engineers, managers, operators, business executives, researchers and students.
