UMTS – Rel. 4, 5 and 6
Core Network Architecture & Signaling
(BICC, IMS & SIP)

• This training course focuses on the detailed description of the UMTS core network architecture with Rel. 4 and particularly with Rel. 5.
• Most importantly, the training course ties a detailed analysis of the new call control and mobility management protocols like SIP or BICC into the presentation of the all-IP core network architecture in Rel. 4 and 5.
• This approach allows the student an easy comprehension of the necessity and advantages of the new network architecture in UMTS Rel. 4 and 5 as well as an easy understanding of the new protocol procedures with SIP.

As in all INACON training courses we integrated several interactive exercises for a perfect learning experience.

• What are the advantages and implications of the new Rel .4, 5 and 6 network architecture?
• What is the IMS and what are the differences between the IMS in Rel. 5 and Rel. 6
• How does SIP work and how is it used in Rel. 5 and 6?

• The student needs to have detailed knowledge about all generic aspects of UMTS Rel. 99 like the network architecture, the QoS-concept and the signal processing chain.
• It is strongly recommended to take our training course “GPRS / UMTS - Signaling & Protocol Analysis (The Core Network” in advance.
• The student also needs detailed knowledge about the TCP/IP protocol stack. It is strongly recommended to take our IP for Telecom Professionals training courses "Module 1: Quo Vadis", "Module 2: The Basics" and "Module 3: Advanced Issues" in advance.

• The student is enabled to fully understand the implications of implementing the new UMTS network architecture with Rel. 4 and 5.
• The student will fully understand the new IP Multimedia Subsystem architecture and the related procedures.
• The student will have an overview of the different VoIP-protocols and a detailed understanding of the messaging and procedures of SIP, with focus on UMTS.
