What it is about

You will learn the fundamentals of modern mobile communications with a focus on 5G architecture and related technologies. In the end you will be able to describe the key components of RAN and Core Network, explain enablers such as MIMO and SDN, and analyze mobility and security mechanisms while evaluating trends in next-generation networks.

What you will be able to do

  • Describe the development of mobile communication standards
  • Explain the functions of enabling technologies (e.g., MIMO, SDN)
  • Apply the structure and interaction of RAN and Core Network in 5G
  • Analyze mobility management and security mechanisms
  • Evaluate trends and developments for next mobile generations
