ITU Academy e-learning course on

5G-Advanced mobile broadband
and future services

9-16 December 2024

Course Description
This course will focus on 5G-Advanced Mobile Broadband and Future Services, including technologies, regulation and business aspects. It will cover mobile broadband evolution, from IMT-Advanced (4G) to IMT-2020 (5G) and IMT-2030 (6G). The course will include 5G New Radio (NR) and 5G Core Network with 5G-Advanced enhancements. Further, it will focus on 5G/5G-Advanced services including enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive IoT (mMTC), critical IoT (URLLC), and Vehicle-to-everything (V2X), then deployment of 5G/5G-Advanced networks by given QoS/QoE indicators, Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), and edge clouds, as well as 5G-Advanced spectrum management and regulation. The course will also include 5G-Advanced enhancements including mobility enhancements, multicast and broadcast evolution, boundless XR (eXtended Reality), RedCap (Reduced Capability) Internet of Things and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). It will also include Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) use cases in 5G-Advanced telecom networks, as well as 5G-Advanced NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) / Satellite networks for future IoT services. Finally the course will cover 5G-Advanced business and regulatory aspects including 5G-Advanced services vs. Internet network neutrality, as well as developments towards future 6G mobile networks and services, IMT-2030 and beyond.

METHODOLOGY
This course will be delivered using instructor-led online learning. The course methodology will be as follows:

    • Each day from 9 to 13 December 2024 there will be made available two recorded video lectures, which are recorded in the face-to-face ITU Centre of Excellence workshop organized by National Institute of Telecommunications in Poland. In total, there are 10 video lectures during the course.
    • Discussion forum will be organized based on discussion topics given on a daily basis, where students are highly encouraged to participate and interact with instructors and other students.
    • Final Quiz test will be assigned on the last day of the course, 16 December 2024.
    • All announcements for all events (lectures, quiz and forum) will be given in a timely manner (prior to the event) by the course tutor.
Assessment and grading
The assessment and grading is based on a Final Quiz test that will be assigned online on the ITU Academy. It will consist of 20 questions (multiple choices).

The Final Quiz will be open from 00:00 hours on Monday (16th of December 2024) according to the GMT+1 time, and will remain open for 30 hours after opening, so each participant can choose the most convenient time to solve it. However, after the start of the attempt the Quiz should be completed in 90 minutes.

The Final Quiz is passed with a grade of 70% or higher.

Each fully registered participant who successfully completes the Final Quiz with a grade of 70% or higher will receive an ITU Certificate for this face to face course.
