The Evolution of VoHSPA/VoLTE/RCS

Understand the Architecture, Protocol and Procedure to Support Voice Over LTE & HSPA Systems

Course Overview

This course provides a technical overview of the Architecture, Protocol and Procedure options available to support Voice over LTE and Voice over HSPA systems. GSMA recommendations and guidelines for IMS, SRVCC and CS Fall-back are all presented, including the IMS profile for Voice (IR65 / IR 88 / IR92).The standardised VoLTE / VoHSPA evolution features are presented and the migration / integration paths discussed, including the technical considerations for LTE Interconnect and Roaming.

Who Should Attend

Delegates will gain an end-to-end technical overview of the evolving VoLTE / VoHSPA technologies, including architecture, interfaces, protocols and procedures. Delegates will also gain an understanding of the features being developed and deployed in the R10 and onwards LTE-Advanced specifications in support of Voice support and performance optimization.

It will be of interest to Network Planning, Deployment, Integration & Optimization Engineers, Radio Planners, Service Developers, Equipment Designers and Telecoms Consultants. In addition, these courses will appeal to technical managers, analysts and strategists wishing to increase their technical understanding of this subject area, and those who are considering the advantages and challenges of deploying VoLTE / VoHSPA within their networks.
