This course provides a coverage of the nuts and bolts of 5G technology, including the principles, design and implementation of the 5G air interface, radio access network, core network and system operation. Find out how 5G leverages various technologies to provide more data speeds than today’s 4G networks.
EXPECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Step through the time-line of 3GPP standards from 4G to 5G and the IMT 2020 roadmap
- Step through the key radio-related requirements of NR, KPIs, technical features
- Outline the 5G Core and 5G RAN architecture, migration and deployment options
- Estimate the throughput of a 5G Cell.
- Illustrate QoS and Network Slicing in 5G
- Describe the 5G frame structure, channel mapping and the air interface protocols
- Identify SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO techniques supported in conjunction with analog/digital/hybrid beamforming
- Illustrate the 5G radio resource management, mobility management, call setup, idle mode and connected mode procedures.
On completion of the course, participants will have acquired the technical expertise required for analyzing, designing, engineering and deploying 5G wireless networks
This course targets Engineers and Managers working on Radio Access, Core Network and Backhaul Networks.
