5G TRAINING COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to give the delegate an understanding of the
technologies and interworking requirements of the next generation of cellular
communications. It is not a definitive set of descriptions but a possibility of
the final deployment. During the course we will investigate the 10 pillars for
5G, which will include various Radio Access Technologies that are required to
interwork smoothly. Hence we will look at the 4G Pro features and other RATs.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
* List the ten pillars of 5G deployment.
* Explain the 5G Internet and Software Distributed Networks (SDN).
* Explain carrier aggregation, the mobile cloud and RAT virtualisation.
