COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is an introduction to 5G communications. It introduces eight (8) 5G modules, from 5G non-standalone along with the migration/upgrade from 4G/LTE to 5G standalone, to build the necessary understanding of the overall 5G end-to-end
network architecture. Advanced antenna systems and antenna technologies in 5G in terms of coverage enhancement and spectrum enhancement are discussed extensively. Then, a discussion of software-defined infrastructure, functional splits and open RAN, and network slicing precede the application of artificial intelligence (AI) strategies in
5G communications and networking. A solid foundation of knowledge on AI strategies and their application in 5G networks is laid in the implementation and use of principles associated with cross-layer optimization, link adaptation, and spectrum management.....
