What You Will Learn
5G System Engineering
- 12 Hours
5G is the next enhancement in mobile communications. This course, aligned to 3GPP Release 17, introduces 5G technology from an end to end, architectural and operational perspective. In so doing, the 5G System architecture is examined in detail, both from a Non Standalone and Standalone perspective. The course then takes a โday in the lifeโ approach to the 5G device, detailing typical activities such as Registration, Security, PDU Session Establishment and Mobility.

5G Air Interface
- 24 Hours
The 5G air interface is a key part of the 5G system which will facilitate Enhanced Mobile Broadband and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication, as well as the support of Massive MTC (Machine Type Communications). This course, aligned to 3GPP Release 17, focuses on 5G SA (Standalone) operation, as well as incorporating NSA (Non Standalone) operation. The course details aspects from the physical layer channel and reference signals, through to scheduling and analysis of NR RRC signalling utilized to configure the NR air interface.

Deploying Open RAN for 5G
- 3 Hours
The Open RAN deployment model adopts a new approach for building the Radio Access Network, within 5G but also earlier generations of technology. This course seeks to explore the concepts of Open RAN, outlining key terminology and standardization efforts. In addition, the course will provide focus on the architecture of an Open RAN deployment, examining the CU/DU/RU split, the associated protocols and the role of the O-RAN Alliance RAN Intelligent Controllers.

Introduction to 5G Radio Planning
- 3 Hours
5G radio planning is a key part of deploying and optimizing any 5G network. This short course is designed to introduce the methodology employed during 5G radio planning. As such, it includes the various challenges related to the new 5G radio interface. In so doing, key aspects of 5G spectrum planning, 5G radio propagation, propagation modelling and the 5G link budget are discussed. Finally, the course summarizes the main factors which impact upon a 5G cellโs peak rate and capacity.
