Advanced LTE, HSPAand EPC Cellular Systems Training
The UMTS Protocol Architecture course has been held at the University of Oxford since 2006. Feedback from those attending has always been exceptionally good and Neil’s professionalism, teaching style and ability to deliver technically demanding material to technical experts was impressive and widely praised by those attending the courses. Due to the success of the course above, we have worked with Neil to develop a new bespoke higher-level technology-oriented course for sales and market ing staff . This was successfully delivered to a major client in Munich, Germany and will now be held as the Win in Business with Mobile Technology course in July 2009 here at the University of Oxford.

I have participated in many technology training courses. Neil Wiffen is one of the best lecturers on technology training I have ever met (he gave us a training on UMTS/HSPA/LTE). Neil has an in-depth understanding of UMTS/HSPA/LTE system architecture, security, protocol stacks and the air interfaces. Neil takes great care of the audience and answers every question they may have.

3GPP RAN Evolution
Successive 3GPP releases have substantially modified and enhanced the RAN architecture, protocols and
procedures, providing a variety of techniques that can be deployed to boost user throughput, increase cell
capacity, reduce signalling delays, optimise mobility and improve user experience. This presentation
focusses on these enhanced techniques and deployment options, including discussion on several key RAN
evolution features which are the subject of 3GPP study or work items and expected to be finalised in the
coming months.
Coordinated transmission from multiple sites can exploit the bandwidth availability which results from
dynamic changes in network load, offering higher overall capacity in addition to improving data rates for user
at the cell-edge. Multi-carrier techniques for both HSPA and LTE increase speed and capacity for all users,
however the increasing number of options for management of these resources means that careful
consideration should be given to the various deployment options available in order to achieve the desired
outcome.
Understanding range-expansion via remote radio-heads, relays and small cell deployment is crucial to RAN
capacity and coverage optimisation in evolving UMTS and LTE networks, and the key principles of these
technologies are presented.
Although provisioning of packetized voice is gathering pace in HSPA+ networks, CS voice will still be present
for many years to come, and several mechanisms are emerging that dramatically reduce the required
bandwidth for CS voice provision using WCDMA. These techniques which can release significant capacity
for re-use by HSPA+ users are presented and the key benefits discussed.
The presentation also details the intricacies of LTE Carrier Aggregation, including several deployment
options to improve cell capacity and HetNet techniques to provide better performance from small cells. In
addition higher order MIMO, beam-forming techniques and opportunistic small cell principles which include
dynamic activation and de-activation based on user proximity are all topics that are presented.
Mobile video content, both linear and interactive is seen as a key requirement for today’s multimedia savvy
users, and effective management of these services will be a major consideration when deploying future
networks. LTE eMBMS has several advantages in comparison to other video broadcast systems, including
the flexibility to dimension unicast and broadcast content with minimum infrastructure changes. The
architectures and procedures used to facilitate this are discussed in this presentation.

3GPP Service Provision, Control and Charging in the
Evolved Packet Core
This presentation provides a detailed description of the emerging techniques defined by 3GPP for the
provision, management and charging of services using a policy controlled Evolved Packet Core network.
Features have been introduced to more easily manage network capacity, differentiate subscribers and
dynamically manage services, all of which can assist in protecting and optimising valuable network
resources. New Policy Control and Charging mechanisms facilitate more centralised management of QoS
control, service definitions and subscriber access profiles, and a comprehensive understanding of these
mechanisms are essential to successfully deploy and manage profitable services in evolving wireless
networks.
Conversational and streaming audio / video session management over LTE, HSPA+ and WiFi access
networks has been enhanced via the optimised IMS architecture and procedures, and therefore the support
of these techniques to deploy services such as standard / high-definition voice, conferencing, and streaming
video will become crucial in many networks. Consequently the PCC / IMS architectures, protocols and
procedures are discussed in detail, including key interactions between these platforms, in order to provide an
understanding of the various deployment options.
The support of both Online and Offline Charging methods for increasingly diverse applications and services
in both home and roaming environments is clearly becoming a key requirement in emerging networks. The
use of Service Data Flow provisioning and management in order to dynamically authorise, control and
successfully charge for multi-bearer services is another key component in evolved service provision, and
these principles are also discussed in this presentation.
Intended Audience

service provision, policy control and
charging architectures and principles,
including the advantages and
disadvantages of different deployment
models, it will be of benefit to individuals
who are involved in the following

VoLTE, RCS and Supplementary Service Deployment
in LTE
The deployment of LTE for mobile broadband services has created the potential for network operators to
deliver the lowest cost-per-transported bit to end users when compared to previous systems. Despite the fact
that in today’s mobile cellular systems the larger percentage of network traffic is ‘non-voice’ related, the
requirement to support high-quality conversational-class voice services still prevails, and will do for many
years to come. This presents a dilemma for modern service providers as the LTE system does not inherently
support voice as a service and has none of the circuit-switched mechanisms that legacy systems utilise to
ensure call quality.
However as the LTE and EPC systems can easily support the required QoS to deliver high quality voice, the
challenge facing today’s service providers is to manage voice service provision for many thousands of users
simultaneously, and deliver a user experience that is at least equal to the legacy systems with their inherent
voice services.
This presentation discusses the various provisioning options currently being standardised and deployed to
support voice, video, SMS and supplementary services over LTE and EPC networks. IMS server roles and
procedures are explained and PCC provisioning, QoS control and charging discussed, including key
requirements and considerations for VoLTE roaming and IPX interconnection.
Interworking and mobility are also presented, and the importance of CS-Fallback and SRVCC techniques to
provided consistent voice services across a variety of networking environments all feature in this seminar

Mr Justice Pumfrey was the English Courts most technically able patents Judge who wanted to be provided with some grounding in 3G systems before hearing a case involving a large number of patents declared essential to UMTS. Pumfrey J publicly acknowledged how useful he found Mr Wiffens’ tutorial. Subsequently, it was agreed that Mr Wiffen would provide technical tutorials and sit as a scientific advisor in court in a series of subsequent cases between the parties, which involved 27 patents, but which settled prior to the trials commencing. In addition we have recently asked Mr Wiffen to provide technical assistance at short notice in relation to a number of technical issues which arose from a review of telecommunication patents. Mr Wiffens' in depth knowledge across such a wide area of technology was particularly impressive and he was able to explain complex issues in a clear and easily understood manner to individuals who were not terribly familiar with the particular area of technology concerned.
