Course Details
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.
