Course overview

This program takes RAN, RF and optimisation engineers below the block diagram and into the mechanics of the NR air interface as specified in 3GPP TS 38.211–38.214. Every concept is tied back to what engineers observe in traces, counters and drive-test logs.

Participants leave able to explain why a cell behaves the way it does — from SSB burst configuration and CSI reporting to HARQ timing and MCS selection — and to reason about configuration trade-offs in FR1 and FR2 deployments.

Who should attend

  • RAN and RF engineers moving from LTE to NR
  • Optimisation engineers responsible for NR KPIs
  • Test and integration engineers
  • Technical leads reviewing vendor parameter proposals

Prerequisites

  • Working knowledge of LTE or cellular fundamentals
  • Familiarity with OFDM and basic RF concepts
  • No coding is required

Learning objectives

  1. 1Explain NR numerologies, bandwidth parts and frame structure and their operational implications
  2. 2Interpret SSB, CSI-RS, DMRS, PTRS and SRS configurations
  3. 3Describe beam management procedures (P1/P2/P3) and their impact on coverage and mobility
  4. 4Trace the initial access sequence from cell search to RRC connection
  5. 5Relate PHY/MAC configuration to throughput, latency and coverage KPIs

Cohort dates are published when confirmed. Register interest to be notified first, or request a corporate delivery on your own dates.

Frequently asked questions

No. The program is built on 3GPP specifications and vendor-neutral terminology. Vendor parameter mapping can be added in corporate deliveries.

No coding is required. Optional Python notebooks are provided for participants who want to explore the calculations further.

Live online programs are delivered in real time by an instructor over video with shared labs and interactive Q&A. Classroom programs are delivered face to face in Dubai or other GCC locations, with the instructor and lab environment in the room. Both use the same curricula and instructors.

Programs are built on 3GPP, O-RAN and industry standards and are vendor-agnostic by default. Corporate deliveries can include vendor-specific parameter mapping and scenarios where required.

Participants who complete a program receive a Teleriu certificate of completion. Teleriu programs are professional technical training and are not affiliated with any certification body unless explicitly stated.
