Introduction
This course is a detailed technical description of the core and radio access networks of 5G. It covers the architecture and interfaces used by 5G, the protocols used for signaling and data transport, the provision of services over a 5G network, and the procedures for signaling and system operation.
Intended Audience
The course is intended for engineers and other staff who are involved with the architecture, optimization, management (Managers, General Managers), monitoring or testing of the 5G network.
