  • Describe the similarities and differences between WiFi, HetNets, LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, and 5G
  • Understand the need for WiFi offload in the 5G access
  • Describe different WiFi access principles, architecture, and protocols
  • Describe 5G SIM, EAP-SIM, and Non-SIM user types and access methods
  • Describe the three phases of seamless WiFi
  • Understand what Hotspot 2.0 is and the role of 802.11u
  • Principles behind 802.11u-capable devices and cellular-like experience
  • 802.11u Network discovery and selection, Emergency services, Quality of service mapping,  differentiated services code point (DSCP) markers, end-to-end quality of service, and security
  • Understand key concepts such as SIPTO, MAPCON, LIPA, and ANDSF
  • Describe the requirements and use cases for 5G and WiFi integration
  • Discuss the concepts behind Licensed Assisted Access (LAA)
  • Understand the application of LAA to Wi-Fi through Layer 2 aggregation of 5G and WiFi radios
CUSTOMIZE IT
  • We can adapt this 5G WiFi Offload 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 WiFi Offload Training course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the 5G WiFi Offload | LTE-U | LAA around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
  • 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 WiFi Offload Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
