5G Overview

5G Overview presents the motivation and technology principles of 5G Network including both RAN and Core. Consequently it is considered to be a valuable topic for engineers working into the telecom sector to get a better insight into the basics of 5G, the whys and hows. It will give them the necessary background to further continue their career into the 5G era, a really technical boosting era of advanced services and architectures. It is also considered to be a good starting point for managers who do not want to spend time on technical details but want to grasp in a glance the 5G technology from a high level. Marketing engineers as well as technical consultants will find this course a good initial step into their career path to pre-sales. Finally students, researchers and technical consultants into various other fields than mobile technology, will find this course very useful to fill the gap between their expertise (IT technology machine learning and software engineers etc) and the 5G technology.

Prerequisites: In order for the attendant to better understand the content of this topic and to gain a further insight into the 5G network description, prior knowledge of LTE RAN and EPS/EPC is strongly required

This 5G training course will introduce audience into 5G technology in a stepwise path. The ultimate need to transform the society into a digital era will make clear to audience the necessity for 5G technologies and network slicing. The core network enhancements will be thoroughly described and explained together with the slicing-Virtualization and SDN functionality and architecture. Same presentation principles will be followed also for the 5G NR and RAN architectures, introducing the audience into the commodity descriptions of the spectrum enhancements and channels towards the more exotic technologies of CoMP, massive MIMO with beamforming, mmWavepicocell communications, NSA vs SA architectures and carrier aggregation enhancements. After this course participants will have a solid understanding of the 5G network necessity, new services and network topology and architectures with all functional modules in both RAN and core domain.
