This course serves as a comprehensive guide for Downlink channels in 4G LTE technology, as defined by the 3GPP standards and specifications. The content and structure of the course are carefully designed to provide a thorough understanding of the LTE air interface.
Assuming the audience’s familiarity with LTE Basic architecture , History of the mobile evolution, and Physical layer Processing the course starts directly with discussions on 4G Downlink Channels. During the all the Downlink channels are looked up to a great depth.
Below are the course Highlights :
1) Introduction to channels in Details and how they are named across different layers.
2) detailed Discussion on physical Signals like Primary and secondary Sync signals (PSS and SSS), where and how they are transmitted on the resource Grid in time and frequency domain.
3) Detailed Discussion on the Reference Signal (RS) and Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)
3) Detailed Discussion on Physical HARQ Indicator Channel (PHICH) and Physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH)
5) In depth Discussion on Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) , how its decoded and Downlink control Information (DCI).
6) Physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and Different resource allocation techniques.
7) Last but but not the least , Detailed Discussion on the Downlink HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) process
