Course Summary
Mobile broadband is a feature that is used by almost every individual in their daily lives in some way. The technologies for broadband are constantly evolving, and it is originally estimated that a new mobile technology will be released to the public. However, these developments are becoming ever more frequent.
To publicise a new technology, there are a vast number of factors that must be considered. The new release must be an improvement from the previous, with a focus on peak data rates, frequency bands, compatibility with previous technologies and full cybersecurity. While new releases often become the standard network regionally, it is crucial that it can co-exist with older technologies. To ensure this, newer networks often are built with previous networks as a base, and its development progresses through architectural enhancements.
5G is the most modern network service, and it contains a variety of features found in previous networks. To be competent in the functions of 5G, one would need to have a full understanding of previous models. Furthermore, there is a stronger focus than ever on the importance of cybersecurity within 5G, as the newer technology opens up the opportunity for many issues that may not have existed previously.
- To understand the process of wireless internet access.
- To evaluate each stage of transmission.
- To assess previous generations of technology and how it has evolved.
- To identify the role of 3GPP.
- To reflect on 3PP enhancements and predict future possibilities.
- To define what LTE-WIFI is and its advantages and disadvantages.
- To utilise a range of broadcast and multicast techniques.
- To understand the purpose of eMTC networks and recent architecture enhancements.
- To compare and contrast 5G networks with previous networks.
- To review the continuous strive for automation and how 5G has achieved it.
