4G LTE Single Radio Access Network (SRAN)

COURSE OVERVIEW

With an eye to making money and reducing costs while at the same time meeting subscriber expectations, LTE operators need to maximize all synergies when deploying multi-technology radio access networks. Single Radio Access Network (SRAN) implies the integration of LTE/HSPA/GSM base station units that result in the reduction of the overall network Operator TCO. This course describes the SRAN market, products, architectural models, backhaul options, and core network access.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Mobile Network operation engineers or technicians who perform tasks related to mobile network operation and maintenance, planning, and optimization.

Course Objectives

List and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of adopting Single Radio Access Network (SRAN)
Outline the principal elements of Multi-Radio Access technology (RAT) and Multi Operator System RAN Networks
Pinpoint the primary functions of a mobile station base station
Highlight the software-defined implementation aspect in the SRAN case
Diagnose RF issues that interfere with MSR functionality
List carrier Ethernet and MPLS features in a particular context (SRAN backhaul transport)
Predicate the tasks performed by the SeGW
Provide VLAN diagram for different types of RAT configuration including Single RAT, Multi RAT, and Multi RAN
Summarise the fundamental interconnect required to run an SRAN
Illustrate IPSR in SRAN surroundings
RFSP index is the parameter in charge of reselection scenarios and handover segregation control in an SRAN network.
Step by step through the stages of the Single RAN deployment process

Course Prerequisites

Participants must be acquainted with the schemes of 2G/3G/4G network.
