Principles of Radio
Communications - 2 Days
Training Focus
Intended for
Day to day communications are becoming increasingly wireless: Radio, TV,
GPS, mobile phones, cordless telephones and Wireless LAN have become an
integral part of our daily lives. But how do they work? What are frequencies,
why do we need modulation, what is dBm and what causes radio interference?
Also for non-technical staff working in the wireless industry it is highly beneficial to have a basic understanding of the background on which their industry is
founded.
This course addresses fundamental questions in relation to wireless communications. The training is conducted in a way that persons without technical
background can gain insight in the principles of radio systems. What are radio
waves, how can they be classified, how can technical performance of radio
transmitters and receivers be described. What is the difference between
broadcasting and mobile systems and why do different systems operate in
different frequency bands? These and other questions related to wireless communications are addressed in this classroom training.
This course is intended for those who have no technical background in radio
communications, who are interested in wireless communications systems and
who may be employed in non-technical positions at telecom regulators, telecom operators, or others in the wireless industry.

Managing and Regulating the Radio Spectrum:
A Practical Guide - 5 Days
Training Focus
Intended for
The radio spectrum is a limited resource that has to be shared between different
systems, operators and countries. It is the task of regulatory authorities to manage the radio spectrum to optimise its benefit for all these different users.
International frameworks provide the basis for managing the radio spectrum,
however a knowledge of the characteristics of the radio spectrum, and of the
technologies that use it are necessary for these frameworks to be translated into
realisable policies and practices at a national and regional level. Whilst the frameworks provide a technical basis for sharing the spectrum, economic measures
are increasingly being used to determine which uses should take precedence.
This course begins by providing an overview of the goals of spectrum management as well as delivering an understanding of the specific characteristics of
different parts of the radio spectrum and how this impacts its utility and value.
The use of different spectrum bands is discussed, together with a consideration
of the way in which historic and new radio technologies use radio spectrum and
the techniques being considered to maximise efficiency and sharing. Different
facets of spectrum management and regulation are explained and discussed.
The course explores assignment and planning methods from the classical command and control techniques to developments in economic techniques for
managing the spectrum such as pricing, trading and auctions. The course also
takes a look at some of the emerging regulatory techniques such as dynamic
spectrum access and licensed shared access to help understand why such new
concepts are being developed, and what failings of existing management techniques they are seeking to redress.
This course is ideal for those working in a practical position within a spectrum
regulator or other regulatory body. The course is also useful for those who wish
to deepen their knowledge of the toolkit for spectrum regulation and management including consultants, investors, manufacturers, major spectrum users
and those for whom managing the spectrum is a part of, or an important adjunct
to, their daily job.
Course Objectives
After completion of the course, participants will understand how the radio spectrum is used, and different approaches to its management and regulation. Participants will have extended their knowledge of spectrum management and will
have been updated on many of the latest techniques and processes being
employed.

Technical Issues in
Radio Spectrum Management - 5 Days
Training Focus
Intended for
At its heart, radio spectrum management is essentially a technical discipline,
overlaid by strategic and economic considerations. One of the main technical
goals of spectrum management is to control interference between radio users so
as to optimise the use of the spectrum. Controlling interference is not straightforward and requires the balancing of many factors and undertaking this balancing act requires expert skills.
This course describes the necessary theoretical, practical and physical qualities
of the radio spectrum including the specifics of wave propagation. Following a
review of technical fundamentals such as modulation, antennas and propagation
modelling, the course considers the characteristics of different parts of the radio
spectrum, and examines in detail the different uses to which it is put. Based on
these principles, the course then discusses why specific uses are often associated with particular radio frequencies and reviews the technical capabilities and
limitations of today’s radio technologies. Interference mechanisms and coordination procedures are explored, together with an understanding of how the
performance (sensitivity and selectivity) of radio receivers affects interference
and coverage. Finally, detailed explanations of the definition and specifics of the
most common radiocommunication services including broadcast, land mobile,
fixed and satellite services are given.
This course is intended for those interested in the technical aspects of spectrum
management. This includes those working in a technical function at regulators
as well as in telecommunications and broadcasting companies and in organisations with a need for strong technical knowledge.
Course Objectives
After completing the course, participants will have a full understanding of the
technical and physical issues which impact spectrum management. In addition
they will have deepened their technical knowledge of different radio services
and will understand the principles behind controlling interference and the coordination procedures.

White Spaces –
A Hidden Spectrum Resource? - 2 Days
Training Focus
Contents
The planning of radio services often leaves small gaps which cannot be used.
However, such gaps might be accessible for a different radio service, typically
one with very low power which will not cause undue interference. These gaps are
often termed ‘white spaces’ and their use is being considered through methods
such as dynamic spectrum assignment.
This course examines the background to white spaces, considering how and
where they arise. It then focuses on how white space might be used, and what
kind of communications it might support. Finally, the various methods and technologies (including DSA/LSA and the role of databases) being considered to
provide regulatory access to white spaces will be examined.
Location/Date
Course Objectives
After completing the course, delegates will understand the history of white
spaces, together with their usage and regulation. Current developments in actually using white spaces will also be examined.
■■ What are white spaces? How much spectrum is there?
■■ The possible applications of white space spectrum
■■ Technologies being developed for the exploitation of white spaces
■■ How is interference dealt with
■■ The regulatory processes and procedures being applied
■■ Geographic databases
■■ Dynamic and licenced spectrum access and assignment

Spectrum
Matters for 5G - 2 Days
Training Focus
Intended for
Numerous institutional, academic, commercial and regulatory organisations are
working towards the standardisation of 5G services but fundamental questions
remain of what is 5G, what will 5G look like, and how will this impact spectrum
demand? There is also the question of technology: will 5G be a new technology
(and air-interface) or will it be a system of different technologies, each playing to
their own strengths? 5G is essentially driven by the need for mobile operators to
quench the growing, insatiable and unquestionable thirst for mobile data.
When it comes to the question of spectrum, however, there are many different
views about how this growth in data demand impacts upon demand for radio
spectrum. It is also evident that, below 6 GHz, there is very little spectrum
remaining that can be re-farmed for mobile services and much of the focus for
new spectrum for future mobile (5G) services is concentrated above 6 GHz. How
feasible is it to deliver mobile services at such high frequencies? Are there ways
to use existing spectrum more efficiently, or are technologies such as LTEAdvanced already very close to the limit of what is achievable?
This course will examine the evolving 5G ecosystem whilst critically examining
the various forecasts and spectrum options to try and identify the reality at the
core of the issues, as well as consider the conflicting statements being made by
the various parties involved in finding a home for 5G services in the radio spectrum.
Those who need to better understand the spectrum implications of 5G technologies, whether from a regulatory, commercial or technical perspective.
Course Objectives
After completing the course, participants will have a clearer view of how the
evolution towards a 5G standard is leading the chase to identify new spectrum,
which spectrum bands are under consideration, and whether 5G might mark the
end to the hunger of mobile operators for more mobile spectrum.

Dealing with the
Capacity Crunch - 2 Days
Training Focus
Intended for
The amount of data traffic being carried over mobile networks is ever increasing,
yet the amount of spectrum used to deliver that data is limited. This is leading,
many believe, to a situation where there will be insufficient spectrum to deliver
the capacity necessary to handle the traffic, often termed the ‘capacity crunch’.
This course examines the various forecasts for mobile data traffic and considers
whether and where growth might finally stop. It also explores various models
used to turn the traffic levels into spectrum requirements to try and determine
how much spectrum might be needed. The various methods for delivering data
capacity will be discussed, together with an examination of the efficiency and
effectiveness of the various mobile technologies (2G, 3G, 4G and 5G) and strategies such as network densification, offloading and wholesale networks. The
impact of the growth of machine to machine (M2M) and the Internet of Things
(IoT) will be discussed. Economic issues, such as the cost per bit delivered will
also be considered to examine whether there are financial constraints on data
capacity growth and consumption.
People working as regulators, as well as for organisations such as government
departments, transport operators, satellite companies, military establishments
who use the radio spectrum and who wish to understand the sources of the
pressure to find more spectrum for mobile data.
Course Objectives
After completing the training, participants will be aware of the various forecasts
for mobile data, and the methods used to predict mobile spectrum demand. They
will have an understanding of the types and performance of various techniques
that are used to deliver mobile data, and will understand some of the commercial
and economic issues that affect the delivery of mobile capacity.

Recommendations ITU-R P.1546 - 1812 - 1,5 Days
Training Focus
Intended for
Recommendation ITU-R P.1546 is now a well established replacement of the
older ITU-R P.370, following a long and difficult process of changes and corrections. Nevertheless, there are still discussions concerning the calculation of field
strength values using these processes. Considering that ITU-R P.1546 is a coordination model based only on statistical methods and field strength curves
measured a long time ago, the idea of developing a real physical model using
complex path calculation methods was floated. As a result, ITU-R P.1812 was
born and since then, as with ITU-R P.1546, a long and hard process of collecting
input and discussions about corrections has taken place. The recommendations
have to be seen from different points of view: One is a pure coordination model
(ITU-R P.1546) based on measurements and the other is a physical model (ITU-R
P.1812) taking into account real diffraction effects .Fully understanding the pros
and cons of both recommendations is a fundamental requirement for people
dealing with broadcast planning and coordination. The classroom training will be
held in LS telcom’s training facilities.
This course is intended for those who have basic knowledge of radio planning
aspects, who are interested in ITU-R P.1546 – 1812 and who may be employed
Course Objectives
After completing this course, delegates will gain a solid understanding of both
recommendations. The key functionalities and differences between the models,

Enjoy your Stay in the
Beautiful Black Forest …
For distraction and relaxation after a studious and busy training day there are plenty of recreational offerings and interesting places to visit nearby.
The well-known city of Baden-Baden is just 20 km away from the LS telcom Training Academy.
We are happy to assist you in booking a hotel for you in Baden-Baden and organise a shuttle transfer between your hotel
and the LS telcom Training Academy.
Places to Visit
Let us surprise you with a social event in the course of your stay at LS telcom Training Academy.

experiences. So, if you decide to participate in a training at LS telcom you have a decisive advantage: You can combine business

Black Forest Nature Park Central/North
The Black Forest is one of the most beautiful regions of Germany and a worldrenowned holiday destination. In December 2000, the Black Forest Nature Park
Central/North was founded with the aim of conserving and developing this
region in a sustainable way. In December 2003, the German federal state of
Baden-Wuerttemberg acted on the regional initiative and officially designated
the nature park a major conservation area. With an area of 926,625 acres
(375,000 hectares) the Black Forest Nature Park Centre/North is the largest of
its kind in Germany and has approximately 700,000 inhabitants.
But our nature park between the rivers Rhine and Neckar is special not only
because of its size: Impressive landscapes, extensive forests, rock formations,
deep canyons, clear springs, lakes, gushing rivers, beautiful meadows and
peaceful pastures are all there for you to discover.
Strasbourg and the Alsace
Only a few minutes away from LS telcom you cross the river Rhine and will find
Alsatian villages with half-timbered houses, potteries and many typical restaurants with Alsatian cooking. The most famous city in the Alsace is Strasbourg
with its multitude of sights. In the heart of the historical centre of Strasbourg you
find the superb Cathedral of Notre Dame with its single tall spire and the famous
astronomical clock. Not far from the centre you can take a walk through the
picturesque Petite France Quarter. And there is much more for you to discover...
If you would like to visit Strasbourg and the Alsace region, we can organise
shuttle transfers to Strasbourg, which is about 40 minutes away from
Lichtenau, and the Alsace region. Just ask! *
Visit the French Capital Paris
If you book a full-week course, you may want to take the opportunity and go to
Paris for the weekend. From Strasbourg to Paris it takes only 2h20min by fast
and very comfortable train, the “TGV”. We can organise your shuttle and train
ticket upon request.*
