Hi,
A long course on WCDMA/UMTS; Parts of this course was posted here before, spread over 5 links, most parts are dead now:
http://www.finetopix.com/showthread.php?22299-UMTS-Mason-Training-Module-1
Thanks and rep to foufou007 (http://www.finetopix.com/member.php?54939-foufou007), I used your post to verify order and contents!
Here are 3 separate zip files which contain
Presentation slides (nearly 1600 pages)
http://www.4shared.com/rar/WAYQDGHaba/Presentation_Slides_Combined.html
Course notes.pdf , (nearly 1600 pages)
http://www.4shared.com/rar/8IOOe-qAba/Course_Notes_Combined.html
Course notes as 29 separate modules
http://www.4shared.com/rar/MeatYN71ba/Seperate_Modules.html
The course is split into five Modules, this is the version as given to Hutchison 3G:
1) Introduction – this module provides the conceptual Framework of the course by introducing the course structure and main concepts
1.1 Guide to the course and the role of the planning engineer
1.2 UMTS Services, Drivers and Spectrum,and where UMTS fits in 3G
1.3) UMTS specifications and standardisation history
1.4) Introduction to, and recap on, access technologies –FDMA, TDMA, CDMA
1.5) Overview of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access for UMTS
1.6) Model architectures for GSM, GPRS and UMTS
2) Mobile Radio Channel – the mobile radio channel is the Theoretical Foundation of radio planning
2.1 The physics and modelling of radio propagation loss
2.2 Models of local mean signal, lognormal and Suzuki distributions
2.3 Propagation and fading in a narrowband radio channel
2.4 Propagation and fading in a wideband radio channel, highlighting differences from narrowband
2.5 Techniques for introducing diversity in all its forms
3) Design Elements – this module describes the tools and Practical Building Blocks of radio planning
3.3 Antenna theory and practice
3.1 A review of basic radio principles including local oscillators, mixing, IF, filters and blocking
3.4 Interference issues including colocation and de-sensitisation from GSM
3.2 Matched filters for coherent detection, and the theory and practical implementation of the receiver for UMTS
3.5 Details of the WCDMA physical layer for UMTS including physical channels, spreading
4) Network Design – this module describes the essentials of WCDMA radio network Design
4.1 2G and 3G link budgets
4.2 Network dimensioning, network strategies, WCDMA planning tools, design criteria
4.3 Geometry for cellular planning
4.4 Site types, traffic coverage
4.5 Separation for diversity,shadowing, mounting, standards
4.6 Conventional for 2G; 3G code planning
4.7 Planning for future capacity requirements
4.8 Operator-specific design guidelines
5) Optimization – this module discusses the ongoing Optimization of the operational WCDMA network
5.1 Radio resource management within the WCDMA environment
5.3 Important issues for 3G optimisation: Coverage containment, neighbour definitions, handovers and C.W., as well as ongoing optimisation in a maturing network
5.4 Discussion session to review the whole course
I havent been able to find the notes or slides for Module 4.8 Operator-specific design guidelines & Module 5.4 Discussion session to review the whole course anywhere, if you can share them, please do, but I don't think there are any materials for this. Other versions have the modules in differnet order but this seems to fit best.
Enjoy!
