OVERVIEW

This course is an overview of the 5G network and its targeted services. Starting with 5G services and performance targets, the 5G network architecture and building blocks are explored. Then, the evolution of the

5G RAN is discussed. An overview of key components for a 5G wireless network is given and fundamental technologies for a 5G network architecture are then discussed. Afterwards, potential deployment and evolution scenarios are summarized. Finally, RAN and core technologies converge with the exploration of network slicing, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and solutions for voice services in 5G.

OBJECTIVE

After completing this course, the learner will be able to:

Identify 5G use case families and related performance targets for 5G networks

Describe key building blocks of 5G that help achieve higher data rates and lower latency

Sketch the end-to-end 5G network architecture, including 5G NG-RAN and 5G Core (5GC)

Step through the life of a UE in 5G NSA and SA networks

Define MEC and network slicing and identify benefits in 5G networks

Identify voice solutions in 5G networks

TARGET AUDIENCE

A high-level technical overview to personnel involved in product management,marketing, planning, design, engineering, and operations.
