Description
This course will focus on 5G-Advanced Mobile Broadband and Future Services, including technologies, regulation and business aspects. It will cover mobile broadband evolution, from IMT-Advanced (4G) to IMT-2020 (5G) and IMT-2030 (6G).
The course will include 5G New Radio (NR) and 5G Core Network with 5G-Advanced enhancements. Further, it will focus on 5G/5G-Advanced services including enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive IoT (mMTC), critical IoT (URLLC), and Vehicle-to-everything (V2X), then deployment of 5G/5G-Advanced networks by given QoS/QoE indicators, Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), and edge clouds, as well as 5G-Advanced spectrum management and regulation. The course will also include 5G-Advanced enhancements including mobility enhancements, multicast and broadcast evolution, boundless XR (eXtended Reality), RedCap (Reduced Capability) Internet of Things and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). It will also include Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) use cases in 5G-Advanced telecom networks, as well as 5G-Advanced NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) / Satellite networks for future IoT services. Finally the course will cover 5G-Advanced business and regulatory aspects including 5G-Advanced services vs. Internet network neutrality, as well as developments towards future 6G mobile networks and services, IMT-2030 and beyond.
This course is targeted at managers, engineers and employees from regulators, government organizations, telecommunication companies and academia, who are interested in 5G-Advanced Mobile Broadband and Future Services, including technologies, standardization, regulation and content. Other institutions and individuals that are dedicated in building their capacity related to 5G-Advanced Mobile Broadband and Future Services аrе also welcome to participate.
No prior knowledge or qualification is required to register for this course, considering the given target population.
At the end of the training, the participant should have gained an understanding of the key aspects of:
- Mobile broadband evolution: from IMT-Advanced (4G) to IMT-2020 (5G) and IMT-2030 (6G)
- 5G New Radio (NR) and 5G Core Network
- 5G/5G-Advanced services: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive IoT (mMTC), critical IoT (URLLC), V2X
- Deployment of 5G/5G-Advanced: QoS/QoE, Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), edge clouds
- 5G/5G-Advanced spectrum management and regulation
- 5G-Advanced enhancements: optimized XR (eXtended Reality), multicast and broadcast evolution, RedCap IoT
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) in 5G-Advanced telecom networks
- 5G-Advanced NTN/Satellite networks and future IoT services
- Business and regulatory aspects of 5G-Advanced including QoS vs. Internet network neutrality
- Future 6G mobile networks and services: IMT-2030 and beyond
This course will be delivered using instructor-led online learning. The course methodology will be as follows:
- Each day from 9 to 13 December 2024 there will be made available two recorded video lectures. In total, there are 10 video lectures during the course.
- Course forum, asynchronous, will be organized based on discussion topics raised by the instructor on a daily basis, from Course Day 1 to Course Day 5, which will cover the course material on the given day. Also, participant responses will be asynchronous, keeping in mind the different time zones and daily commitments of participants from different countries around the world.
- General discussion forum, asynchronous, will be provided for participants to ask their own questions which can be answered by the instructor and other participants.
- Final Quiz test will be assigned on the last day of the course, 16 December 2024.
- All announcements for all events (lectures, quiz and forum) will be given in a timely manner (prior to the event) by the course tutor.
The evaluation of the participants will be based on 80% from the Final Quiz and 20% from the answers given in the course forum on the raised discussion topics on daily basis by the tutor, thus reflecting both the quantity and the quality of time spent on the course.
Participation in the course forum is mandatory in order to access the Final Quiz.
The Final Quiz will be open from 00:00 hours on Monday (16th of December 2024) according to the GMT+1 time, and will remain open for 30 hours after opening, so each participant can choose the most convenient time to solve it. However, after the start of the attempt the Quiz should be completed in 90 minutes. The Final Quiz contributes with 80% in the total grade.
The course is completed successfully with a total grade of 70% or higher. The grading will be completed by the course tutor after the course is fully completed.
Each fully registered participant who successfully completes the course with a total grade of 70% or higher will receive an ITU Certificate for this course.
The ITU certificates will be given to participants via the ITU Academy platform after completion of the course reporting and processing within the ITU.
