UMTS (WCDMA) creates a platform to converge the different worlds of voice and data services to create a global market for mobile multimedia. This course is intended for those seeking an overview of UMTS’ vision for the next generation All-IP multimedia networks known as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). This course provides an overview of the various concepts used in IMS architecture, functions, components and interfaces. Enabling technologies such as SIP, MEGACO and IPv6 and the use of these technologies within the IMS architecture will be studied. A discussion of Quality of Service (QoS) follows, with a presentation of key protocols and the scenarios associated with QoS. Single Radio Voice Call Continuity between IMS and a circuit switched environment will be studied.
Learning Objectives
ter completing this course, the student will be able to: • List the motivation, benefits and challenges with IMS in UMTS • Sketch IMS network architecture in relation to UMTS • List the functions of the key components in IMS • Explain functions of key protocols such as SIP, Megaco, and RTP • Describe basic IMS operations over a UMTS network • Explain how a UMTS subscriber makes an IMS call • Explain how IMS enables dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) in UMTS • Explain how IMS provides a service delivery platform • Discuss the IMS security architecture • Describe the IMS interconnection strategy • Explain how IMS is being used to provide service continuity between different access networks • Depict scenarios that illustrate interworking with the PSTN • Sketch the IMS charging architecture
Intended Audience
This course is intended to provide a technical overview of the IMS. It is appropriate for all technical personnel as well as those in product management, technical sales, planning, architecture, design, deployment and support.
