PRICE:The price for a single seat for this course is ?2 410 (excl. VAT). We offer substantial discounts for group bookings of 2 seats or more, and we have corporate rates with most of the large mobile operators and equipment suppliers in the world. To find out if you quality for discounts or corporate rates, alternatively if you would like a quotation for an in-house delivery, please contact Apis sales.

CONTENTS:This course provides an end-to-end overview of LTE RAN performance monitoring and optimization. Network concepts and features are analysed against available network measurements and call traffic signalling flows, to infer the use of different counters and KPIs. Performance KPIs within this course are investigated on a vendor independent perspective, focusing on the concepts and applications. Alongside with the analysis of different KPIs classes and monitoring reports, this course also boosts a comprehensive approach to network troubleshooting and optimization tasks.

PREREQUISITES:General LTE and EPC System knowledge is required. For background knowledge, the Apis LTE EPC Overview is recommended.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:This training is best suited for the 4G network planners, optimisers and quality control teams. After attending this course, participants will understand how different KPIs are obtained, infer possible problems within the network and develop efficient approaches to solve them. LTE/EPC Introduction?    LTE/EPC architecture?    3GPP releases?    Comparison of 2G/3G (GSM/GPRS/UMTS) and 4G (LTE EPC)?    Protocols & Interfaces in LTE EPC?    Quality Class Identifiers, QCI
