Why this IMS course?
The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) was introduced in Release 5 of the 3GPP UMTS specifications and has been updated through successive releases of standards ever since. UMTS and LTE are predicated on several major changes:
- The predominance of data communication
- The move to an all-IP structure
- The removal of circuit switched telephony
- The need for lower end-to-end delay.
This means that a set of functions is needed to support media conversion to other networks and, at the same time, add sophisticated charging and policy based functions.
The IP Multimedia Subsystem is charged with supporting these functions. IMS requires protocols and interfaces such as SIP - Session Initiation Protocol, DIAMETER, etc to enable it to work.
This course introduces both IMS and the necessary enabling technologies for it. The evolution of IMS through the releases of UMTS - onwards to LTE - is explained.
