5G NR Carrier Aggregation Log Analysis Workshop
This half-day course introduces Release 15 New Radio Carrier Aggregation (CA). Device logs, collected in live 5G networks, are presented to demonstrate how NR CA works in all aspects, including NSA mmW DL/UL, SA/NSA sub-6 F+T, T+F, and F+F CA. We also discuss NR CA deployment scenarios and considerations.
Why Take This Course?
- Enhance your industry knowledge and skills by gaining a greater understanding of 5G NR Carrier Aggregation log analysis.
- Train with engineers at Qualcomm Technologies – a world leader in 5G technology and wireless engineering.
