Course length: 2 days
Target group: designers, testers, project managers and similar staff categories
Recommended background: good knowledge in basic LTE release 8 or 10
Introduction
This course gives an introduction to the new 5G mobile system as specified by 3GPP. The course does not only focus on the radio part but looks at the complete system with a new core network with many new functions like virtualisation and software defined networks.
Course Objectives
The main objective of this course is to give an overview over the main functions in the new 5G mobile system. Part objectives are:
Target Group
The course is targeted to people that will work with mobile systems using the new 5G system. Examples are designers, testers, marketing people, requirement managers, project managers and similar staff categories.
Previous Knowledge
It is required that trainees have a general knowledge of Long Term Evolution as basic mobile functions will not be described in the course.
