Biography

Xavier Lagrange received the Engineering Degree from Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, Paris, France, in 1984 and the Ph.D. degree from TELECOM Paristech in 1998. He was the head of the "Networks, Security and Multimedia" Departement of TELECOM Bretagne at Rennes from 2003 till 2009. Xavier Lagrange joined Alcatel Radiotelephone in 1985, then Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (Télécom Paris). Since 2000, he has been professor at IMT Atlantique (formerly known as Telecom Bretagne) at "Network Systems, Cybersecurity and Digital Law" in the Rennes Campus. Xavier Lagrange is the head of research group ADOPNET of IRISA. Xavier Lagrange is the author of several international publications.

 

His areas of interest include resource allocation, medium access control and performance analysis for 4th and 5th generation cellular networks, hybrid networks (ad-hoc+cellular, broadcast+cellular) and LPWAN (low-power wide-area network ). He is a senior member of IEEE.

4G is the cutting-edge network technology that links millions of smartphones to the internet. But how does it actually work?

"4G Network Essentials" is a 6-week Mooc (originally in french) developped by Institut Mines-Télécom, leaded by IMT-Atlantique and supported by the Patrick and Lina Drahi Foundation. It is now available in a full english version on the Edx platform.

It will help you to understand the technology behind the apps and devices we use every day. You’ll get a solid overview of LTE/EPC (Long Term Evolution / Evolved Packet Core) 4G networks, how they work, how the network architecture is designed, and which protocols are used.

Over the next few years, the advent of 5G will see over 20 billion mobile terminals go online. By mastering the key concepts of 4G, you can be ready for the next chapter in mobile networking—and the jobs of the future.

The course is given every semester. Join us on edx
