This course provides an overview of the fifth-generation mobile technology, or 5G. It focuses on establishing important technical concepts and terms, as well as putting 5G into context by relating it to other current technological trends today.
The central 5G standard discussed comes from 3GPP, but contributions from other relevant organizations are also described.
This condensed 5G course is the perfect way to kick-start your path on the 5G journey, regardless of your end goal. Perhaps you are aiming for an expert level of knowledge, and this is your first steppingstone, or you just want to keep up with the buzz and learn what is going on at the current forefront of the mobile evolution.
It has been designed to be covered by students within one normal working day.
NOTE: This course is not delivered with the FoldOut methodology.
