COURSE OVERVIEW

5G New Radio Training explores the radio technology involved in 5G RAN New Radio (NR), the physical layers procedures, and the principles of Massive MIMO and MIMO/Beamforming techniques. Since the OFDM concepts are vital to 5G, a detailed discussion of this technology is included as well.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this 5G New Radio Training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • Understand the basics of 5G NR (New Radio)
  • List basic 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 5G New Radio (NR) features and capabilities
  • List the relevant innovations and technologies for 5G NR
  • Compare and Contrast Non-standalone 5G NR and Standalone 5G NR specifications
  • List 5G NR air interface, protocols, operations, and procedures
  • Explain the different deployment scenarios for 5G NR
  • Describe the underlying technologies and protocols related to 5G NR
  • Compare and contrast 3GPP and Verizon 5G TF (Verizon 5th Generation Radio Access)
  • Explain the future technology and application trends in 5G NR
CUSTOMIZE IT
  • We can adapt this 5G New Radio Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
  • If you are familiar with some aspects of this 5G New Radio course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can tailor the 5G NR Training to include the LTE/LTE-A prerequisite material (if your team needs it), add or omit topics to suit your team’s needs, or adapt it to a less technical, more business-oriented audience. The 5G New Radio course can also be extended to include hands-on exercises.
  • If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the 5G New Radio course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
AUDIENCE/TARGET GROUP

The target audience for this 5G New Radio Training course:

  • 5G New Radio Training is aimed at Technical and management personnel whose job requires an understanding of the evolving 5G technology.
CLASS PREREQUISITES
