Course details
The LTE Service Architecture Evolution (SAE) Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network is an essential component of next generation mobile networks. This course provides a detailed analysis of the architecture, interfaces, protocols, QoS, deployment and dimensioning of EPC. The overall requirements of the LTE/SAE proposal are examined, and participants will be able to dimension for the required number of MMEs, SGWs, PGWs, HSS and PCRF for EPC.
Course Objectives:
- Outline the architecture and interfaces of E-EUTRAN and the EPC
- Characterize the performance capabilities of LTE/SAE system
- Discuss the different services offered by EPS and their impact on traffic and signaling
- Outline the key protocols used for control and user traffic
- Explain the procedure for EPS bearer establishment and service data flow
- Explore options for implementing voice in LTE (VoLTE, CSFB, OTT)
- Step through the planning methodology for EPC
- Understand traffic concepts and traffic modeling for LTE
- Estimate the signaling and user plane traffic
- Dimension a sample LTE core network, with an estimation of the EPC nodes
