The course focuses on the voice/multimedia telephony service under IMS control for networks with 5G deployed. It presents the architecture for IMS-based call handling in 5G networks, the interworking between 4G and 5G on the core network and radio network level to support device mobility and service continuity in a multi-access environment and selected requirements as specified by GSM Association.
NOTE: This course is not delivered with the FoldOut methodology.

Prerequisites
Technical knowledge of the voice service handling in 4G mobile telecom networks is crucial.
Understanding the technical solutions for the handling of the voice service in 5G requires a good grasp of voice handling in 4G (VoLTE, with IMS control) and the general 5G network architecture. Attending Apis “IMS for VoLTE in Half a Day” course, or having the equivalent knowledge, will allow the participants to benefit fully from the course.
