- be able to understand the driving forces behind the changes in the current mobile communications world
- know relevant mobile services architectures and technologies
Contents
The mobile industry is moving from a highly optimised infrastructure with few services such as voice, SMS, and MMS to a more sophisticated, service driven, and flexible architecture.
The course starts with a high level, operator centric business model as a basis for the requirements driving the functional architecture within the operator domain, as well as requirements arising from interconnection with other domains (e.g., user/user terminal, peer operators, access service providers, application and content providers).
The students will be introduced to a range of relevant mobile services architectures, standards and solutions, e.g., from 3GPP, OMA, OASIS, Liberty Alliance, IETF and W3C.
To complete the overall end-to-end view, we look into the technology of today’s and tomorrows mobile devices. Know-how about important upcoming technology trends and limitations is important to create powerful applications.
