Tutorial Proposal Title: - “Global Mobile Broadband with LTE” Abstract: - Long Term Evolution (UMTS Release 8) offers a smooth evolution path towards 4G for service providers deploying 3GPP and non-3GPP standard’s technologies. LTE proposes to use an advanced radio interface technology based on OFDMA on the downlink, SC-FDMA on the uplink and a flat IP based network architecture. Some of the important reasons behind the choice of OFDMA are its ability to overcome wireless channel related fading issues, support for tight frequency reuse leading to better spectral efficiency, support for users with different QoS requirements, and the ability to integrate multiple antenna technology (MIMO), a key enabler. LTE intends to utilize a flat IP based network architecture to meet the stringent technical requirements of next generation wireless systems. LTE promises long-term revenue stability and growth by creating avenues for new value added services. For 250+ service providers who have already deployed/committed to the 3GPP technologies it provides scope for harmonious co-existence with legacy networks. This tutorial presentation would provide an in-depth overview of the important technologies behind LTE systems and how they are proposed to be implemented. Duration: - Half day (210 Minutes) Goal and Objectives: - The objective of the proposed tutorial is to provide an in-depth understanding of the key technical concepts behind very high speed all ...
