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.
