The detail of the above offered modules are as under;

CDMA 2000 RC1 & 2 (16 hours)

This four-day course provided the trainees an in-depth description of the functioning of a CDMA2000 system according to the key CDMA standards Confidential CDMA HR Development Centre 8 (TIA/EIA95B and CDMA2000) and the rationale behind the specifications. Course discussions provide a point-by-point description of key processes, including power control, physical channel generation, hand-off techniques, and call processing. This course concentrates on Radio Configurations 1 and 2 (RC1 and RC2), which are the backwards-compatible modes to TIA/EIA-95. In addition to the discussion of Radio Configurations 1 and 2, new concepts for CDMA2000 were introduced and briefly discussed.

CDMA 2000 Release 0 (8 hours)

This two-day course provided the trainees an in-depth description of the functioning of a CDMA2000 system according to the key CDMA standards (TIA/EIA/IS2000-0). Course discussions provided a point-by-point description of key processes, including variable rate Walsh spreading, new traffic channels, new power control modes, spread spectrum signal generation, MAC/LAC processing, hand-off techniques, call processing, registration, authentication, and encryption. Emphasis was placed on new features and capabilities introduced in CDMA2000 1x Release 0.

CDMA 2000 Network Planning (8 hours)

The network planning course gave the trainees the required knowledge and background to perform RF network planning activities for a CDMA network. The course provided an understanding of the basic concepts behind planning a CDMA network. Topics covered include link budgets, propagation models and traffic modeling and a review of available network planning tools required to successfully plan a CDMA network. The specifics of CDMA network design were introduced, including PN planning, soft hand-off control, hard hand-off planning, packet zone planning, and spectrum planning and site selection criteria.

CDMA 2000 Voice Network Optimization (16 hours)

The optimization of nearly every CDMA2000 network begins first with optimizing the network for voice. This course provided a comprehensive approach to optimization, including the measurement, analysis, and tuning of CDMA2000 voice networks. A significant portion of this class was dedicated to class exercises that involved analyzing mobile log files to solve real-world network problems

Network Performance Assessment and Management Workshop (16 hours)

This course was presented with the assistance of a practicing engineer from Diallog whose CDMA Network in Islamabad was used to perform network performance assessment. The exercises provided trainees on-site training for troubleshooting and optimizing the network. The instructors selected a set of tests to be executed for a selected operational and stable cluster of base station sites in Islamabad . These tests were performed to assess the system from a performance, functional and coverage perspective.
