Description
Do you want to have a detailed understanding of the Ericsson Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
solution with a focus on E-UTRAN?
The course describes the basic VoIP theory, MMTel/IMS/EPC Overview, IMS Signaling in
an overview, E-UTRAN functionality and features for VoLTE support and VoIP Radio
Network Dimensioning. During the course students will get exposure to VoLTE call traces
and statistics from live networks to enhance the learning experience. All this, together with
end-user considerations and call procedures will definitely boost your competence and
understanding of VoLTE.
Learning objectives
On completion of this course the participants will be able to:
1 Explain the basic idea of VoLTE, including basic VoIP theory
1.1 Explains codecs and protocols used for VoIP
2 Explain, on an overview level, the end-to-end support and QoS for VoIP in EUTRAN,
EPC and IMS
2.1 List the main principles in Ericsson E-UTRAN, EPC and IMS for VoIP support
2.2 List the QoS requirements for voice and VoLTE
2.3 Explain the usage of EPS Bearers and APNs for VoLTE
2.4 Explain PCRF, PCEF and MME QoS concept
2.5 Summarize the IMS Signaling
2.6 Explain end-to-end call procedures
2.7 Explain end-to-end QoS assurance and measurements such as Mean Opinion Score
(MOS) and total delay
3 Detail the E-UTRAN functionality and features from a VoIP perspective
3.1 Explain the QoS framework
3.2 Describe the protocol handling of VoIP traffic
3.3 Describe how the RAN scheduling features support VoLTE
3.4 Explain the RAN Capacity Management impact on VoLTE
