IP for Mobile Networks

Protokół internetowy IP w sieci mobilnej

This course presents Internet Protocol with underlying transmission technologies as well as higher level protocols and services. Extensive generic IP knowledge is covered and put into the perspective of mobile networks, in particular specific usage of IP-based services (such as .gprs domain or SIGTRAN) is included.

Target Audience

This course is designed for technical staff of mobile networks’ operators. It gives in-depth view on IP and realted protocols so it will be beneficial to maintenance staff as well as network and service designers.

Prerequisites

The participants are expected to have generic technical (telecommunication or computer science) background, and ability to understand technical topics. No specific knowledge is required, but familiarity with GSM or UMTS architecture and services would be beneficial.
