LTE/SAE Evolved Packet Core

LTE/SAE Evolved Packet Core Training Course

The training course for LTE/SAE Evolved Packet Core takes three days. It details the architecture of the LTE/SAE Evolved Packet Core, EPC, network which forms a major part of next generation mobile networks, NGMN.

During the LTE/SAE Evolved Packet Core training course, the overall requirements of the LTE/SAE proposals are examined along with the relationship with the existing components within a mobile network, this is developed into a description of the key interfaces and the protocols deployed.

A detailed analysis of the LTE/SAE architectural functionality is provided along with a description of the architectural reference points and protocols.

The course also examines aspects of the LTE/SAE Evolved Packet Core including key elements like the service and quality requirements of LTE. Using end to end examples, the course details, how key performance parameters including mobility, security and QoS are supported by the SAE network architecture.

Those attending the LTE/SAE Evolved Packet Core training course would benefit from a prior understanding of 2G and 2G mobile network architectures and protocols.
