Our LTE Quality of Service training course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the key concepts and principles behind Quality of Service (QoS) in LTE networks. This course delves into the End-to-End EPS Bearer and the underlying Transport Network Layer (TNL) where QoS is crucially applied. Participants will explore the main QoS concepts and learn about the interworking between LTE QoS and other network types such as UMTS, GPRS, and IMS.

This course is ideal for engineering and technical management professionals who need a technical overview of the technologies and techniques utilized by 4G LTE networks to define and control the QoS for user connections. Participants are expected to have an engineering background with some knowledge of telecommunications technologies and protocols. Previous LTE training and familiarity with QoS mechanisms in legacy 2G and 3G networks would be beneficial.

By enrolling in this course, you will gain insights into topics such as E-UTRAN architecture and interfaces, EPS Bearer and PDN Connectivity options, LTE QoS parameters, QCI, ARP, QoS Management, LTE PCC mechanisms, TNL concepts, DiffServ, MPLS, Ethernet QoS, and much more. Enhance your knowledge and skills in LTE QoS with our expert-led training course.

This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.
