5G is the next-generation of mobile networks beyond the 4G LTE mobile networks existing today. The vision of 5G is becoming clearer and most experts say 5G will feature network speeds that are blazingly fast at 20 Gbps or higher and have low latency at mere milliseconds. The entire 5G approach takes advantage of containers, virtualization, SDN and NFV.
Mobile telephony has been around for a while. It is very possible that people entering this industry may lack sufficient grounding in how we got to where we are now. Many of the new standards predicate knowledge of previous architectures, greatly raising the barrier of entry for anyone new that is trying to enter the world of 5G. We start this course by reviewing how we got here and where 5G is taking us.

Day One, this course covers just enough of the basics to understand how mobile telephony has changed over the past 27 years and where it is today. Students will cover the architectures of 2G to 4G networks, and 4G to 5G, learning why each new generation was needed, what changed, and what remained with each new generation.
Days two and three will cover in detail, the design motivation and underlying technology of 5G service-based architecture as well as new vocabulary terms. We will cover enough about 5G radio to understand the differences between 4G and 5G, and finally, take a look at the 5G core in action. Sample message flows of typical 5G processes are covered message by message. The goal is to clearly see how 5G accomplishes its goals by observing how it actually works.
Introduction
You will gain exposure to the entire course contents in a very high-level course overview. You will also learn how to access additional information to stay current with 5G.
New Radio
New Radio is the replacement for LTE. Learn the differences and similarities between NR and LTE here.
5G EN-DC Core Architecture
You will study the core components of the 5G EN-DC network, also known as 5G Non-Stand Alone (5G NSA). Emphasis will be on the interoperability of architecture components and flow paths. Using network diagrams, you will plot the pathway of both user plane and control plane components.
5G EN-DC Radio Access Network Architecture
You will extend the EN-DC core into the Radio Access network. You will diagram message flows within the 5G EN-DC network. You will learn practical applications for sub gig to millimeter wave RF spectrum.
IMS Integration
You will learn how the IMS network is integrated into a 5G. While study of the IMS is a 5-day class itself, this section will review the role of the IMS, cover a few of the major components, and illustrate what components of the IMS change when integrating into a 5G network.
5G Stand Alone (SA)
Up to now you have been studying 5G EN-DC or Non-Stand Alone. Now you will learn the massive changes that arise with the implementation of 5G Stand alone. Many powerful features become possible only if 5G SA is deployed.
5G Stacks
A review of the Protocols in the 5G architecture. Many 4G protocols continue into 5G with a few very important additions that are described in this section. Security personnel in particular need to pay close attention to this section.
5G Mobility management
Mainly for the support of giga speeds and slicing, 5G mobility simplifies the tracking of UEs. This section describes how the UE location is tracked.
5G Infrastructure
A study of where the 5G elements are commonly located within the network, paying close attention to geographic location and distances. The section answers the question, “where is all this stuff?”
The 5G Slice
Essentially, 5G reinvents the VPN, taking service delivery platforms to the hardware itself. While a common VPN is an overlay network, slicing implements the “VPN idea” directly on the 5G network itself. This opens up a level of capability, security, and mobility not realized by modern VPNs. This chapter will explore slicing architecture, applications, and capability.
Using Unlicensed Spectrum
US Unlicensed Spectrum in the Mid-band
Multi-Operator Core Networks (MOCN)
Multi-Access Edge Computing
EU and PDU Session State
This section is an essential review prior to studying actual call flows. Ultimately, call flow impacts mobility and session state. By understanding the goal of managing mobility and session state, understanding call flow is made clearer.
5G Flow Diagrams
This course will cover 5G IMS access, describing all the components you see below. When it comes to IMS architecture, IMS stays as it is. The exception is HSS which now can be co-located or implemented as a part of the UDM. However, the functionality of HSS should remain standalone.
Anyone who needs a high-level overview of complete 5G rollout, Management, Planners and Project Managers.
