COURSE DESCRIPTION 3G systems and services are making a significant impact on the Mobile Telecommunications Industry providing an enhanced user experience, and changing the way content, services and applications are delivered to the end-user. Covering 3G Technologies such as W-CDMA, HSDPA, HSUPA, cdma2000, IP and IMS, as well as services and applications (including: content distribution, wireless Voice over IP (wVoIP), and mobile TV services), and handsets this course provides an excellent grounding for those who need to understand the scope, implementation options, business drivers, and rollout strategies for 3G systems. This course also examines the evolving role of 3G (including its capabilities, strengths and limitations), and provides a useful guide to how it fits with existing 2G (including 2.5G and 2.75G technologies), and other radio technologies such as WiFi and WiMAX as the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) within the converging world of telecommunications. PRE-REQUISITES A basic understanding of telecommunication networks would be an advantage, but is not essential. COURSE OBJECTIVES: At the end of the course, the delegate will be able to: o o o o o Identify the principle requirements driving the development and introduction of 3G technology and services Chart the migration strategies towards 3G including the radio network and core network requirements, as well as the evolution towards an all IP system Identify and discuss the requirements, and likely success, of specific 3G services, including the customer requirements and impact on network and service provision Explain how the requirements for the 3G network are in practice being met Draw a simplified schematic diagram showing the network and service architectures of the evolving 3G system, including: the access and core networks; the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS); Service Delivery Platforms and other service platforms; content servers; billing systems; and third-party interfaces List the primary capabilities, advantages, and requirements of 3G CDMA technology, as well as describing the resulting impact on services Explain the principles of CDMA technology and how this is applied to the W-CDMA radio interface used in UMTS (including HSDPA and HSUPA), and within the cdma2000 system Usefully compare the suitability of 3G technology with other radio access schemes such as WiFi and WiMAX for specific scenarios / applications
