LTE AMOS Introduction for RF and UTRAN Engineers

LNA108 7060 R1A

Description
The main focus of this course is to give a detailed survey of the Advanced Managed Object
Scripting (AMOS) for RF foccused tasks. The participant will after the course have a broad
knowledge about the RF related commands and printouts on the CPP RAN nodes.
Hands-on practice exercises in getting Cell, RBS and related CPP node data is provided,
dealing with the most common AMOS commands that a LTE RF Engineer should be familiar
with to use on daily work.
Learning objectives
On completion of this course the participants will be able to:
