    Challenges for LTE Wireless Systems Design
    Long-Term Evolution (LTE) wireless systems have 5-10x higher processing complexity than currently-deployed 3G wireless systems. This creates a unique pressure across all aspects of the handsets, the basestation and the network. Previous product platforms have to be significantly re-architected and entirely new software applications have to be developed to take advantage of the much higher bandwidth that LTE is targeted to provide. In this webinar, we will explain those design challenges and offer different approaches design teams can take to deliver advanced products. The webinar targets development managers across the supply chain that are developing LTE products today or are planning to get involved in the near future. Whether you are a manager inside a network operator, basestation or handset OEM or you are in a semiconductor company, you should participate and learn about how you can meet your LTE product roll-out schedule within your tight development budgets.

    LTE Physical Layer Performance Optimization: Part One
    During this webinar, we will provide an overview of the LTE physical layer design and discuss how design choices can impact design implementation and performance for basestation, handset and semiconductor manufacturers as well as for network operators. LTE introduces a new modulation scheme, OFDM, and extends the multi-antenna MIMO methods of HSPA to create many new design challenges. This LTE seminar will discuss these new design challenges including resource element mapping, spatial multiplexing, rank adaptation, MIMO channel modeling, MIMO channel estimation and MIMO receiver design and explorer the impacts on design implementation and overall system throughput. LTE design implementation methodologies and tradeoffs will also be presented and tools which can ease and accelerate the simulation, design, implementation and verification of LTE systems will be demonstrated. And finally, the future of LTE in the form of LTE-Advanced will be explored. What you will learn:
    • An overview of the LTE physical layer
    • MIMO channel modeling and estimation
    • OFDM resource mapping and methods
    • Physical layer control
    • Efficient LTE simulation and implementation techniques

    LTE Physical Layer Performance Optimization: Part Two
    During this webinar, we will provide an overview of the LTE physical layer design and discuss how design choices can impact design implementation and performance for basestation, handset and semiconductor manufacturers as well as for network operators. LTE introduces a new modulation scheme, OFDM, and extends the multi-antenna MIMO methods of HSPA to create many new design challenges. This seminar will discuss these new design challenges including resource element mapping, spatial multiplexing, rank adaptation, MIMO channel modeling, MIMO channel estimation and MIMO receiver design and explorer the impacts on design implementation and overall system throughput.

    We will demonstrate how the CoWare LTE solution can be used the study the cell search operation of the handset as well as the random access preamble detection in the basestation (or eNodeB).
