backtotop.gifTraining Course Description

Course Description

  • This training course appeals to all engineers and technicians who want to gain expert knowledge about the key functions of HSUPA like E-TFC selection (E-DCH Transport Format Combination) or scheduling grants.
  • The training course focuses on the necessary extensions of the UTRAN architecture in NodeB and the UE, in order to explain in detail the requirements for HSUPA. Further emphasis is on the protocol enhancements like MAC-es/MAC-e and the new physical channels.
  • Special focus is put on UE’s physical layer aspects, which allow a higher user data throughput in the uplink far beyond the conventional 64kbit/s. In that respect, the uplink scheduling mechanism located in the NodeB is of central importance for HSUPA granting maximum allowed power ratios to each E-DCH capable UE.
As in all INACON training courses we integrated several interactive exercises for a perfect learning experience.

backtotop.gifWho should attend this class?

  • Everybody who needs to design HSUPA capable UEs and network equipment
  • Operators who need a detailed understanding of HSUPA
  • Test engineers who need to integrate HSUPA equipment and UEs

backtotop.gifPre-Requisites

  • Very good understanding of WCDMA networks, protocols, operation and parameters. Previous knowledge of UMTS-details from our training training course “UMTS Design Details & System Engineering” is advantageous. In addition, we advise our training course “UMTS – Signaling & Protocol Analysis (UTRAN & UE)” to be taken in advance.
  • Previous design and/or testing experience with WCDMA-networks and / or User Equipment are favorable.
  • As every E-DCH capable UE has to mandatory support HSDPA, a profound knowledge of HSDPA is highly beneficial for the understanding of HSUPA.

backtotop.gifTraining Course Target

  • The student will be enabled to understand all relevant details of HSUPA within the UTRAN and the User Equipment.
  • The participant is enabled to develop, test and operate HSUPA hard- and software.
