4G Series : WiMAX vs. Long Term Evolution (LTE)

Course Objectives
The goal of this course is to present details and up-to-date information on both 3GPP LTE and IEEE WiMAX technologies. The participants will learn about the features of the technologies and understand differences between LTE and WiMAX. Furthermore, the participants will learn about practical performance and deployment issues.
