Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi)
Course Overview
The course provides a solid technical understanding of the Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) technologies and architectures endorsed by 3GPP, and the LTE industry. More specifically, the course covers in depth the procedures call flows as well as the necessary network optimizations required to deliver high performance experience of voice service. The course contents goes beyond VoWiFi covering in depth WiFi calling, call flows, handovers, and performance optimizations for a holistic and uniform packet based Voice service.
