Description

IMS Book Cover

This course gives an overview of the 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), which is based on the IETF Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and other protocols. After introduction to the IMS Architecture, the course focuses on the technical details of the SIP protocol and how it is applied within the IMS. Basic IMS procedures (registration, session establishment) as well as services (Presence, Messaging, Push-to-Talk) are introduced and essential details are highlighted.

Note that we also offer a one-day supplement to this IMS / SIP course, CS to IMS Migration and Integration, which can be taken on its own or as an add-on to this three-day course.
