Duration:

2 Days

Cost:

£675

Synopsis:

This course provides a detailed technical break-down of key data connectivity procedures in the GSM, GPRS, UMTS (R-99 and HSPA) systems. Registration, resource allocation, resource modification data-call setup and termination procedures are all presented and analysed in detail using a variety of protocol analysis software. Connection managament and mobility procedures are discussed from both Core Network and Radio Access Network perspectives. Examples of end-to-end data application support are also used to explain the requirement of coordination across multiple network types

Pre-requisites:

A reasonable understanding of general GSM/GPRS/3G principles and procedures
