This course will explain how voice services are delivered across a 5G system, utilizing IMS based voice services termed VoNR (voice over new radio). The course will cover areas such as architectural requirements, protocols, APIs and initial procedures. In addition, a variety of call scenarios will be examined, including service continuity scenarios related to LTE and CS networks. Note that this course is similar in content to VoLTE system engineering from an IMS operational perspective. However, the key differences relative to 5G will be explored.
Completion Time:
The estimated completion time for this course is twelve hours. The maximum allotted time is six months from enrollment.
