Overview

With the expectation that by 2017 57% of all mobile broadband data will be offloaded to the WiFi environment the IEEE have launched new versions of the 802.11 specification, 802.11ac and 802.11u (Hotspot 2.0).

This course will explain the evolution towards Carrier WLAN and the associated security issues and Quality of Service support necessary. Sample call flows and theoretical explanations of the full topology and technology of 802.11 will be discussed as will the interworking requirements with 3G/4G LTE technologies that enable this offload of data to occur successfully.

Objectives

By the end of this program the delegate will be able to;

  • Understand the IEEE 802.11 versions and evolutions
  • Describe in detail a call flow within an 802.11 environment
  • Understand the difference between SIFS, DIFS and AIFS
  • Describe the two approaches to QoS support
  • Understand the need for cellular offload
  • Describe the interworking capabilities & network requirements with 3G/4G LTE networks
  • Describe bandwidth & throughput capacities in 802.11 releases
  • Describe the MAC layer requirements and working in 802.11
  • Explain the difference between CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA
  • Describe the need for and requirements of the 3GPP AAA server
  • Understand PMIP and its necessity in carrier WiFi
  • Understand Mobile IP capabilities
  • Understand the need for the ANDSF (Access Network Discovery & Selection Function)
