Implementing Cisco CDMA Packet Core Networks

Course details

Overview:

This course is designed to help network professionals improve their skills and knowledge in implementing CDMA packet core architecture fundamentals. The major topic covered is 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) standardized technologies that are implemented on the PDSN/HA Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN) and Home Agent (HA).The PDSN and HA interaction with authentication, charging, and billing components on the network are also discussed. This course includes configuration details of how the PDSN and HA components are implemented on the Cisco ASR 5000 Series system. A portion of the course is dedicated to explaining how a CDMA access network can interwork with a 4G packet core. The role of the High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) Serving Gateway (HSGW) is discussed as well as configuration details.

Objectives:

• After completing this course you should be able to:
• Describe and understand 3GPP2 CDMA architecture fundamentals.
• Implement a Cisco PDSN/HA solution and configure Cisco PDSN features for simple IP services.
• Implement a Cisco PDSN solution and Cisco HA solution for mobile IP services.
• Implement the Cisco HSGW solution and configure Cisco HSGW features for 4G interworking service.
• Describe and configure tunneling features available on Cisco PDSN/HA.
• Describe and configure Cisco ASR 5000 Series inline services.
• Know the basics of configuring the Cisco ASR 5000 Series system.
• Know the organizations that are developing technologies used in the mobile packet core such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and 3GPP2.
