Voice over LTE in MSS 14

LZU1089731 R1A

Description What is Voice over LTE? What is SRVCC? How is it implemented in MSS 14? How can the operators benefit from this new technology? The course provides a theoretical overview of SMS over SGs, CS Fallback (CSFB), Mobile Terminating Roaming Forward (MTRF), Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) and how they relate to Voice over LTE (VoLTE) explaining how the eUTRAN (4G) communicates with GERAN (2G), UTRAN (3G) and the Mobile Softswitch Solution (MSS). The course describes the mobile interworking with IMS and other Voice over IP (VoIP) interworkings.
