12 April - 16 April 2010 (Mon - Fri)
5-days Instructor-led training with case studies, 0900 - 1700
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This course will enable participants to:

• Understand the Signal flow for GSM NSS
• Appreciate the Evolution of W-CDMA Core Network
• Compare W- CDMA to GSM/ GPRS
• Explore the Interfaces and Protocols in W-CDMA (R4)
• Understand the Basic Signaling Procedures W-CDMA
• Learn the fundamentals of SS7, its routing related to GSM/ UMTS.
• Explore the basics of SCCP layer including GT routing.
• Understand GT Analysis and MAP
• Learn the different cases of ISUP-SS7 inter-working with GSM/ UMTS.
• Find out the approach in SS7 in GSM troubleshooting.
• Explore SIGTRAN Technology
• Learn SCTP Protocol and Applications
• Find out the M3UA and SUA Protocols and Applications
• Understand Basic SIGTRAN Network Design

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.

The participants will gain a detailed knowledge of GSM/ UMTS Signaling in Core Network including it′s signal flows, the signal trace analysis, learn some case studies and its other applications such as SS7 over IP (SIGTRAN).

A basic knowledge of Mobile Communication/ PSTN will be required.

For engineers and managers responsible for the implementation, operations & maintenance and support for GSM NSS/ UMTS
