Introduction
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a radio technology based on OFDM and MIMO techniques. LTE provides much higher data rates (over 300 Mbps) to users while reducing the cost-per-bit for service providers. This is very exciting to wireless operators who are eager to deploy multimedia rich Internet content over a wireless medium with seamless access anywhere at any time. This course describes principles and Motivation of LTE and its System Architecture Evolution (SAE). It also covers the Air interface, Channels of E-UTRAN, OFDM and MIMO Technologies with the use of OFDM/OFDMA in LTE. It steps through the DL/UL Physical Channels and their Frame Structures, Physical Layer procedures and higher layers of E-UTRAN. In summary, this course provides a comprehensive overview of LTE technology. Course Outline
