Overview: This is a two day in-depth technical course intended to provide students
a sound understanding of the framework, architecture, network element function,
protocols and procedures associated with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
and IMS-based applications. In addition, the student will gain an understanding
of how IMS may be leveraged for convergence and value-added services.
Primary Audience for the Course:
- This course will be of benefit to anyone working with next generation services
and/or interested in the transition from legacy networks to the IMS framework.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of the workshop the student will be able to:
- Identify the what is IMS and the differences
between current, legacy network applications, components and IMS-based
applications
- Understand the different functional
layers of IMS, their role and network elements
- Demonstrate a basic knowledge of
SIP
- Understand the differences between IMS
and non-IMS networks
- Understand the details of IMS network
elements and procedures
- Understand IMS policy and Quality of
Service functions and procedures
- Understand the operational pitfalls
during the transition from legacy to IMS
- Identify IMS based applications and
their relationship to the IMS framework
- Understand the role and importance of
value-added capabilities within IMS
