Description
This course focuses on technical, business and regulatory aspects of 5G mobile networks. It includes mobile broadband evolution, and LTE-Advanced-Pro as transition of 4G towards 5G mobile networks. It covers 5G network architecture, which is based on network slicing approach, 5G New Radio (NR) and 5G Next Generation core with network functions and software based architecture. The course covers all service types in 5G mobile networks and their characteristics and use cases, including enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Types Communication (mMTC) and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC). For massive number of devices is required use of IPv6 in 5G, while large variety of services introduces extensions of mobile QoS frameworks with new QoS Class Identifiers and novel approaches for per-flow Quality of Service (QoS) support needed for mobile critical services. Finally, the course also focuses on business aspects of 5G services and applications in different verticals, as well as 5G/IMT spectrum management and regulation including low, mid, and high bands for IMT-2020/5G.
This course is targeted at managers, engineers and employees from regulators, government organizations, telecommunication companies and academia, who are interested in understanding, implementation, and regulation of technical, business, and regulatory aspects of 5G networks, including technologies, standardization, regulation, and content. Other institutions and individuals that are dedicated in building their capacity related to technical, business and regulatory aspects of 5G network are also welcome to participate.
No specific prerequisites in terms of knowledge or qualifications are required for the intended target population.
At the end of the training, the participant should have gained knowledge about the key aspects of:
- Mobile broadband evolution
- LTE-Advanced-Pro: transition from 4G toward 5G mobile networks
- 5G network architecture: network slicing
- 5G New Radio access
- 5G Next Generation core network
- 5G services: mobile ultra-broadband and ultra-reliable low latency services
- Massive Internet of Things (IoT) and IPv6 in 5G
- 5G Quality of Service (QoS)
- Business aspects of 5G networks and services
- 5G/IMT spectrum management and regulation
This course will be delivered using instructor-led online learning. The course methodology will be as follows:
- Each day from 17 to 21 June 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, 24 June 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 (24 June 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.
