Explore the 5G use case dimensions: enhanced mobile broadband, ultra reliable low latency communications, and massive machine type communications, and how they drive high data rates, reliability, and device density.
Explore the g.a.p protocol stack, contrasting user plane and control plane layers from physical to sdp, and explain quality of service, segmentation, ciphering, and arq.
Explore how 5g uses quality of service to differentiate traffic with guaranteed bitrate, non-guaranteed bitrate, and delay-critical flows, and how SDP maps IP flows to QoS flows and radio bearers.
Explore the RLC layer’s segmentation and ARQ, including transparent, unacknowledged, and acknowledged modes; learn how SDUs become PDUs, sequencing, and retransmission with status reports, including NR behavior.
Explore how the random access procedure lets a device move from idle to connected via contention based four-step or contention free three-step methods, with preambles, responses, timing, and collision resolution.
Explore how virtualization and cloud technologies enable on-demand, scalable resources for 5g architecture. Understand challenges of server-based provisioning and how IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offer metered, rapid elasticity.
Explore 5G identifiers, distinguishing device identifiers (Pi, IMEI, IMEI SV) from subscription identifiers (IMSI, network access identifier), and explain how subscription concealed identity and globally unique temporary identifier enhance security.
Explore service based architecture for the 5g core, using microservices and virtual network functions, with the network repository function enabling service registration and discovery via rest.
Learn the 5G de-registration procedure as a device deregisters, triggering AMF to tear down PDU sessions, release UPF resources, and update PCF and UTM policies.
Explore how 5G network slicing creates multiple logical networks on a single physical system across device, radio access, and core networks, with customization, isolation, and security for diverse use cases.
5G, the fifth generation of telecommunications, has the capability to be the backbone of much of the innovation in the Information and Communications Technologies arena in the next decade. It will empower the lives of people, and shape their lifestyles to create the next level of education, entertainment, productivity and value creation.
5G RAN, based on New Radio (NR) technology, is arguably the biggest domain of innovation and complexity in every telecommunication generation. It is the topic of focus for much of the telecom students and professionals. In the first half of this course, you are going to learn about the key ideas and concepts that are a part of the 5G RAN.
In this course, you'll be able to learn
- The overview of the 5G System
- RAN Protocol Stack
- Key functionalities in the Control Plane Protocol Stack
- Key functionalities in the User Plane Protocol Stack
- Key RAN Procedures
5G Core Networks present the opportunity to build a more a capable network and offer innovative services in a more cost efficient way. In the second half of the course, we go through the different principles associated with the 5G core network and discuss the various network functions and the call flows. In this section you'll be able to learn
- Principles of service based architecture
- Key Network functions in the 5G Core
- Key principles in access management, session management etc
- Important call flows in the 5G System
You will learn the key trends in the industry like Cloud RAN and ORAN.
The course is designed to present even the sophisticated concepts in a simple to understand, concise and well illustrated manner. Time is of the essence for industry professionals, so it is aimed at being crisp and to the point.
Handouts are included for further reference for the students.
Most importantly, I take a lot of pleasure in sharing this content, and I hope you have an equally enriching learning experience.
I invite you to join the journey of more than 8000 students who took their 5G skillset to the next level with this course.
