5G System Architecture and Applications

5G is expected to revolutionize our life and fundamentally changes every thing we know about mobile services. The change from the 4G to the 5G will be much more dramatic than any previous change. 5G will not only provide an entirely new mobile experience, but it will create new opportunities, currently unimaginable. Some 5G services have already started, and the next few months will see more gradual deployment of 5G commercial services. Now it is the time to learn this emerging technology.

This course not only covers the principles of the 5G system architecture, new radio access network, core network, security, but it also covers in details enabling and supporting technologies that are at the heart of the 5G, such as SDN, NFV, network slicing, multi radio dual connectivity and multi access edge computing. It also devotes a full chapter to the applications and use cases of the 5G, with a guide on the way the 5G should be implemented for each of these applications. The first two chapters provide an introduction to mobile telecom and RF fundamentals.

The course is structured to benefit professionals from all levels and background, including working professionals in the mobile telecom, IT, other professionals interested in 5G, university/ college students, and those preparing for an interview for a position with 5G requirements. The first two lessons are designed to support those who have little or no background knowledge on mobile telecom and radio frequency.
