ITU Academy e-learning course on

Technical, business and regulatory
aspects of 5G networks

17-24 June 2024

Course Description
This course will focus on technical, business and regulatory aspects of the 5G mobile networks. It include will 4G mobile technology transition toward the 5G, considering the access and core networks as well as end-user services. Mobile broadband Internet after 4G will continue with the next generation, 5G, so the course will cover also IPv6 and its impact on 5G mobile networks. Further, it will include M2M (Machine-to-Machine) and mobile Internet of Things (IoT) services are foreseen types in future 5G mobile environments, as well as mobile cloud computing implementations. The course will also include spectrum management for IMT (International Mobile Telecommunications) including the 5G considerations. The QoS in mobile networks going from 3G/4G mobile world toward the 5G will continue to be important hence the course will also focus on QoS and QoE in next generation mobile environments. Finally, the course will focus on emerging services and applications in 5G mobile networks in different verticals, including technology, as well as their business and regulation aspects.

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

    • Each day from 10 to 14 June 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, 17 June 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
On the last day of the course a Final Quiz test will be assigned. It will consist of 20 questions (multiple choices).

The Final Quiz will be open from 00:00 hours on Monday (17th of June 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. The course evaluation for obtaining the ITU certificate is based primarily on the results from the Final Quiz, however, replies to the raised discussion topics in the course forum may also be considered in the evaluation process.

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