1 Day / 2 Live Online Sessions (0900-1230)
Description
Our IMS Overview Training Course is designed to provide participants with a solid foundational understanding of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and its role in Next Generation Networking. This course offers an overview of the IMS architecture, including security, charging, and Policy and Charging Control (PCC), as well as an analysis of the main protocols associated with the IMS. Participants will also gain insights into IMS registration and session control procedures, along with a brief overview of the applications enabled by the IMS. This course serves as an ideal introduction to the IMS for those who do not require the in-depth coverage provided in our 3-day IMS and SIP course.
Ideal for individuals looking to enhance their understanding of the IMS architecture and operation, particularly in relation to VoLTE, as well as those seeking an introduction to SIP, this course covers a range of topic areas. Participants will explore concepts such as the IMS framework, protocols used by the IMS, CSCFs and HSS roles, SIP basics, IMS architecture, online and offline charging, policy control and charging, and more. By the end of this training, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the IMS and its key components, making them well-equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of Next Generation Networking.
Who would benefit
This session is for those aiming to better understand the architecture and operation of the IMS, potentially in relation to VoLTE, as well as those looking for an introduction to SIP.
Prerequisites
An understanding of packet switched domains in LTE, GPRS and UMTS networks and their functionality is an advantage.
