SIP in IMS training course description

The IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS) is defined by 3GPP as a new mobile infrastructure. This advanced course looks at the use of SIP in the IMS.

What will you learn

• Describe the role of SIP in the IMS.
• Explain how SIP works in the IMS
• Describe the SIP architecture in the IMS.
• Explain how SIP and SDP are used in basic IMS procedures.
