Voice over LTE 
VoLTE

Describes the technological solutions and standards which will
enable the migration of voice and SMS services over to LTE/EPC
networks

Main drivers for the introduction of Long Term Evolution of
UTRAN (LTE) is to provide far better end user experience for mobile
broadband services. However, service providers also need to have a
clear strategy of how to offer voice and messaging services for
consumers and enterprises. The voice service over LTE is becoming
increasingly important when the smartphone penetration is
increasing rapidly. Smartphones require both good quality voice and
high speed broadband data.

This book provides the exhaustive view to industry-approved
technologies and standards behind the Voice over LTE (Vo LTE).
Whether a decision maker or technology analyst, this book explains
a topic of substantial global market interest. It
provides a good introduction to the technology and is useful for
operators who may be deploying Vo LTE, product managers responsible
for Vo LTE products and those who work in implementation and
standardization of related technologies.

* Provides a comprehensive overview of industry-approved
technologies and standards, providing vital information for
decision makers and those working on the technology

* Written by authors working at the cutting edge of mobile
communications technology today, bringing a mix of standards and
product background, guaranteeing in-depth practical and standards
information

* Covering the technical and practical elements of Vo LTE,
explaining the various approaches for providing voice services over
LTE
