Device mobility in EUTRA/LTE, including SRVCC, and how to test it

Overview:
Mobility is an essential part of LTE technology due to LTE's initial hotspot deployment. This webinar will provide insight into mobility procedures in LTE and relevant measurement events. It will also explain aspects of handovers from LTE to 3G or 2G with an active IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)-based voice call (voice over LTE, VoLTE) known as single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC).

Attendees will learn:

• Mobility procedures specified in LTE 3GPP Release 8
• Measurement events and their meaning
• Handover functionality for an IMS-based voice call from LTE to 3G or 2G technology (single radio voice call continuity, SRVCC)
• Test and measurement examples of LTE mobility, including SRVCC

Prerequisites:

• Basic understanding of mobile communications standards
• Basic knowledge of LTE 3GPP Release 8 principles

Who should attend:

• Engineering and lab managers
• Research and principal engineers
• RF and transceiver design engineers
• Software and protocol development engineers
• Network and systems & test engineers
• Application and support engineers
