Course Overview
|
The goal of GSM/ UMTS Signaling in Core Network training is to present details and analysis of the Network Switching Subsystem of GSM/ UMTS in relation to SS7, including its layers such as MTP3, SCCP layer, and MAP layer. The participants will become familiar with ISUP signaling inter-working with GSM MAP signaling over TDM and IP (SIGTRAN).
GSM/ UMTS Signaling include analysis of signaling flows, analysis/debugging and troubleshooting. The participants will learn about practical usage of SS7 in GSM/ UMTS and be able to use it in daily work.
