Course description
This e-learning course is designed for those who are, or intend to be, involved in planning strategies for 4G mobile systems and LTE (Long Term Evolution). This course describes mobility in, and the provision of services over, LTE (4G) mobile systems. This course also discusses how the enhanced performance provided by an LTE Advanced system is achieved.
By the end of this course you will be able to:
- describe the factors that determine the Quality of Service (QofS) requirements for a particular service and explain how a LTE Evolved Packet System delivers the required QofS.
- describe the role of the various Evolved Packet Core (EPC) interfaces and protocols.
- describe the procedures involved with mobility management including handover to other mobile systems.
- describe the basic functions of the key components of a IP Multimedia Sub-system (IMS).
- describe and compare the various ways of providing a telephony and short message service over an LTE mobile system including Voice over LTE (VoLTE).
- describe the interaction between a mobile device and an IMS in setting up a VoIP call.
- describe the benefits of LTE Advanced mobile systems and the techniques employed to provide their enhanced performance.
- describe the enhancements and new facilities provided for LTE Advanced beyond Release 10 including those required by emergency services for critical communications.
