Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) MAP Course

Course Code: TO 93
Course Abstract: Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) is the world’s leading wireless communication standard.  This course defines the protocol structure and content of the messages which support the GSM mobile applications and services.  You will gain a thorough knowledge of how messages are constructed and how mobile communications between elements is accomplished.
Audience: This course will be beneficial to Cellular and PCS providers and their agents who need an understanding of GSM network signaling.  Others who could benefit would include those working in a NOC, network technical support, planners, network or traffic engineers and interconnection specialists.
Duration: 3 days
Learning Outcomes: In this course you will learn about GSM components, subscriber identities along with network identities.  We will briefly look at the lower layers of the SS7 protocol which is used for message routing and transport.  Emphasis is placed on the TCAP ITU-T standard, the Mobile Application Part (MAP) application and signaling across the A-interface.  Call-flow scenarios show how the various elements signal and communicate.
