This book provides a clear, concise, complete and authoritative introduction to the Evolution Packet Core (EPC), including potential services and operational scenarios. After providing an insightful overview of the EPE architecture and key concepts as an introduction. In-depth technical descriptions of EPCs, protocols, network entities and procedures. Case studies of deployment scenarios show how EPC works in a live network context.

This book is an essential concept for SAE and EPC, the 'engine' that connects broadband access to the internet.

All of the issues have been incorporated into the GPRS, SAE and 3GPP. Some of the authors have also been involved in the 3GPP standardization efforts.

"There is no better people who do not know about the work on SAE / LTE. (ibidem), (ibid.), (i). in SAE / LTE within 3GPP. " - from the foreword by Dr. Ulf Nilsson, TeliaSonera R & D, Mobility Core and Connectivity

"The authors have an excellent job in writing, as well as an opportunity to provide them with the concept of" easy communication between Architecture and Standards groups and Planning ". / Operational groups within service provider organizations. " - from the foreword by Dr. Kalyani Bogineni, Principal Architect, Verizon
