To meet the rapidly growing IP data traffic in wireless networks, wireless service providers have started deploying the next generation wireless networks. The next generation wireless networks need to contain the cost of delivering lots of traffic as the ARPU is not expected to increase at the same rate as the amount of data exchanged over these wireless networks. So, service providers are deploying efficient air interface such as LTE, emerging backhaul and transport technologies (Carrier Ethernet, MPLS) as well as multimedia application framework (IMS) solutions. This course provides an overview of the LTE-EPC and IMS wireless systems and related technologies.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • List the key requirements of LTE networks • Sketch the LTE-EPC network components and their interfaces • Describe the role of Policy and Charging Control (PCC) framework to support QoS in LTE-EPC networks • Sketch the LTE Evolved-UTRAN network and describe the ways of achieving high data rates and reduced delays in LTE • List the backhaul options and describe the use of Carrier Ethernet and MPLS in backhaul/backbone networks • Describe the role of IMS in LTE networks and sketch IMS network architecture • Discuss IMS interworking with legacy networks and Web • Describe the need for IPv6 in LTE networks • Step through example LTE deployment scenarios
Intended Audience
This course provides an overview of the LTE and IMS networks and is intended for those in business and non-engineering functions as well as those who are involved in planning, design, and deployment.
