Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced are the most sophisticated commercial wireless communication standards to-date. LTE has been deployed in most of Asia, Europe, and Americas. LTE-A started to roll out last year, and it is the 4G candidate technology proposed by 3GPP. At the heart of PHY layer of LTE is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation, which enables flexible resource allocation and low complexity channel equalization.
This workshop will provide practical insight into understanding LTE air interface and receiver design issues. It will enable researchers and professional engineers to design robust OFDM communication systems including LTE receivers. Real world LTE signals will be analyzed in LabVIEW to provide hands-on design experience to the participants.
Pre-Requisites
- Basic knowhow of tools like Matlab/Octave.
- Fundamental concepts of digital signal processing and communications
Course Instructors
This course will be jointly conducted by Dr. Usman Gul and Muhammad Azam. Dr. Usman Gul received his Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2014. During his PhD he extensively worked on LTE receiver synchronization issues. His research interests include design and implementation of synchronization and detection algorithms for next-generation wireless networks. Muhammad Azam has 12+ years of industry experience in wireless communication system design. He has successfully designed software defined radios, satellite receivers, telemetry systems, MIMO-OFDM systems in the past.

| Highlights | The training will build up from introductory concepts like wireless channel model and the need for channel equalization, Multi-carrier vs. Single-carrier Modulation and then moves on to the advanced concepts of OFDM system parameters’ selection, LTE resource allocation, MIMO support, Training signal design, LTE Data and Control channels, and Receiver implementation issues like synchronization, channel estimation, and error correction. Along the way, theoretical concepts will be tied to the real-world example of LTE standard, and by the end of the training, one will have a better understanding of theoretical and practical challenges of OFDM system design in general, and LTE in particular. Hands-on sessions will use LabVIEW software to simulate various blocks in the LTE receiver. |

A must have to improve the skill set of modern day communication system designers.
Review by Dr. Saqib Ali | Posted on 9/15/2015
Price Value Quality I must appreciate the zeal with which this course was taught. It was well structured and brilliantly carried by the instructor. Indeed it was a pleasure to be taught by Dr. Usman Gul. He has complete grip on the topic and being a practical implementer he introduced us to those unchartered areas of receiver design which are generally left in the books.
