Understand the 5g requirements of enhanced data rate, ultra low latency, and massive devices connectivity. Explore enhanced mobile broadband, urllc, mtc, mmwave, massive mimo, network slicing, virtualization, edge computing.
Explore how 5g enables smart agriculture, healthcare, and industry through IoT sensors, AI, drones, and edge computing, enabling real-time monitoring, remote surgery, and automated farming.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the evolution of mobile communication technologies, beginning from the early generations (1G to 4G) and progressing to the latest advancements in 5G networks. Students will gain a foundational understanding of the key milestones in mobile technology development and the international standardization processes that have guided their deployment.
A major focus of the course is the architecture and design of 5G networks, including the core concepts such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). Through detailed case studies and discussions, learners will explore the vast array of 5G use cases that are set to transform modern industries. Special attention is given to practical applications in agriculture (such as precision farming and drone-based monitoring), healthcare (including remote diagnostics and telemedicine), and industrial automation (such as smart factories and robotics).
By bridging theoretical foundations with real-world scenarios, the course prepares students to understand and contribute to the next-generation wireless communication landscape. It is ideal for students pursuing careers in telecommunications, information technology, or any sector impacted by digital transformation. By the end of the course, learners will have the skills and insights necessary to engage with emerging 5G technologies and related innovations.
