Course 133 - Detailed Review Of CDMA Standards IS-95/Joint Standard 008

                                                           

Scope 

This three-day course probes the depths of the CDMA standards and the “nuts and bits” protocols involved in the CDMA air interfaced and call processing.  Insights gained in this course will prove extremely valuable in system performance troubleshooting and system design, as well as in manufacturing design/test operations.

 

Target Audience

Engineers and technicians responsible for detailed troubleshooting and performance optimization of CDMA networks and subscriber equipment

 

Course Presentation Setting and Methods

Presented in a classroom setting using computer projection with student workbooks.
