Compare VoWiFi, VoLTE, and 3G voice quality and performance, emphasizing wifi stability, router power, and distance factors. Note that VoLTE and VoWiFi support HD calls, while 3G does not.
Compare voice over wifi architecture with legacy 3g and volte: wifi router to epdg and ims via proxy cscf, versus enode b in 4g and rnc in 3g.
The ePDG secures voice over Wi-Fi with an IPsec tunnel between the user and core, authenticating via AAA and HSS on an untrusted network.
Discover how the PCRF governs IMS traffic in VoWiFi by establishing default and dedicated bearers, triggering QoS parameters, and coordinating with the PGW for secure IPsec tunnels.
Explore how the I-CSCF in IMS locates the appropriate serving CSCF and enables inter-operator SIP signaling for VoWiFi, leveraging HSS queries and cross-network routing.
The home subscriber server (HSS) is the master database for user profiles, handling AAA authentication, profile management, and voice over wifi service authorization and roaming decisions.
Explore how the APN enables voice over Wi-Fi by provisioning an IMS APN from the PGW, granting an IMS IP and enabling IMS registration and calls.
Establish the ipsec tunnel and create the default bearer to enable sip registration and ims core access via the pgw and edg, with qos on the ims apn.
Are you a telecom professional looking to master VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi) and understand how it integrates seamlessly into the IMS Core and Evolved Packet Core (EPC)? This course is your complete, practical guide to WiFi Calling — covering everything from basic concepts to advanced signaling flows, real-world deployment scenarios, and troubleshooting techniques.
You'll begin by understanding what VoWiFi is, how it differs from VoLTE and 3G voice services, and why it’s increasingly essential for improving indoor coverage, call quality, and user experience. From there, the course dives into VoWiFi architecture, detailing the roles and interactions of core elements like UE, ePDG, PGW, AAA, P-CSCF, I-CSCF, S-CSCF, and HSS.
You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of how IPSec tunnels are established, how default and dedicated bearers are managed, and how bearer mapping occurs between the EPC and the secure VoWiFi path. We’ll also explore how identifiers like IMSI, SIP URI, FQDN, and APNs are used to route and register VoWiFi sessions.
The course covers all critical protocols and interfaces including IKEv2, GTP-C/U, and Diameter across SWu, S2b, SWm, SWx, and S6b interfaces. You’ll follow real-world call flow diagrams, SIP signaling sequences, and learn how to troubleshoot common issues in VoWiFi authentication, tunnel creation, and call setup.
By the end, you'll be equipped to confidently analyze, design, and optimize VoWiFi services across mobile networks.
This is a must-have course for any telecom engineer, system integrator, or technical trainer working with IMS and packet core networks.
