TCP/IP and Mobile IP Training

The past decade saw the explosion of the Internet along with the continuing rapid expansion of mobile communications worldwide. Those two technologies, having evolved separately, are now coming together. While TCP/IP has grown with the growth of the Internet, its “mobile” part presents some unique challenges that arise from the very mobility of the mobile user.

In this 2-day TCP/IP and Mobile IP Training course (duration depending on the depth of TCP/IP coverage), you will learn about the impact of IP on the entire, end-to-end mobile communications network. We start with a discussion of TCP/IP and how and why it has grown to where it is. The difficulties created by mobility are addressed in the “Mobile IP” portion of this TCP/IP and Mobile IP course. While the details of the solution to these problems are different in each technology, many common threads exist and are discussed in some detail. We conclude with a comprehensive discussion of the issues presented by the integration of the all-packet-switching techniques into the mobile environment, which spans both the air interface and the core network.
