With presentations from Harri Holma and Antti Toskala, authors of the definitive work “WCDMA for UMTS”, “HSDPA/HSUPA for UMTS”, and “LTE for UMTS” this course provides an excellent opportunity to hear from the key instigators of these technologies.
Real world implementation aspects of the new technology will also be discussed, including the dual-mode radio receiver in multimedia handsets, system dimensioning and design and application performance. Emphasis throughout the course will be placed on optimizing the data capability of these networks, including efficient packet data capacity, broadband wireless services, radio resource management as well as upgrade paths for operators.
