- Aimed At
-
Technical individuals who possess some familiarity with mobile communications and data networking and have the need to understand the evolving 2.5G/3G IP-based systems.
- Prerequisites
-
You should have some familiarity with communications engineering. If you have an understanding of the architecture of a mobile communications network and the limitations imposed by its air interface, that will be helpful but it’s not required.
If the participants posses prior knowledge of TCP/IP, the TCP/IP portion of the course can be removed, shortening the course.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
The past decade saw the explosion of the Internet along with the continuing rapid expansion of mobile communications worldwide. Those two technologies, having evolved separately, are now coming together. While TCP/IP has grown with the growth of the Internet, its “mobile” part presents some unique challenges that arise from the very mobility of the mobile user.
In this 2-3 day course (duration depending on the depth of TCP/IP coverage), you will learn about the impact of IP on the entire, end-to-end mobile communications network. We start with a discussion of TCP/IP and how and why it has grown to where it is. The difficulties created by mobility are addressed in the “Mobile IP” portion of this course. While the details of the solution to these problems are different in each technology, many common threads exist and are discussed in some detail. We conclude with a comprehensive discussion of the issues presented by the integration of the all-packet-switching techniques into the mobile environment, which span both the air interface and the core network.
- Customize It!
-
Customize this course to your specific needs at little-to-no additional cost. We offer distinct versions tailored for:
-
Network design and optimization engineers
-
Equipment or application designers
-
Less technical audiences such as managers, executives, business planners, sales and marketing specialists, and operations and support personnel
Recognizing that some individuals may know more about TCP/IP than about mobile communications, or vice versa, we will tailor our overview of the prerequisites to the backgrounds of the class audience.
If the participants posses prior knowledge of TCP/IP, the TCP/IP portion of the course can be removed, shortening the course.
