Course Overview
This certification programme covers the principles and execution of LTE radio planning and optimisation. The LTE Radio Planning and Optimisation programme begins with explaining the time and frequency domain of structures and goes on to cover those aspects of the LTE radio interface that will have an impact on coverage and capacity. Typical models are discussed and compared, and full link budget and radius predictions are carried out.
To support the link budget and modelling techniques, as well as apply the learning in an industry-leading software package, Mentum Planet is used to demonstrate and analyse the LTE radio planning process. We also model and analyse typical LTE deployments, discussing the major variables and discuss LTE implementation options in detail, while also looking at various KPIs that can be used to calculate network performance.
