5G Technology Certification Program

Last updated on 

Here's a breakdown of the technical aspects typically covered in 5G technology certification programs:

  1. 5G Basics:
    • Introduction to 5G technology: Understanding the evolution from previous generations (4G/LTE) to 5G, key concepts, and basic architecture.
    • Fundamentals of wireless communication systems: Explaining the principles of radio frequency, modulation techniques, multiple access schemes, and the concept of beamforming in 5G.
  2. 5G Network Architecture:
    • Core network and radio access network (RAN): Detailed explanation of the 5G architecture, including core components like gNB (5G New Radio Base Station), user equipment (UE), and various nodes in the core network.
    • Network slicing: Understanding the concept of network slicing, which allows the creation of multiple virtual networks on a shared physical infrastructure to meet diverse service requirements.
  3. 5G Protocols and Technologies:
    • New Radio (NR) interface: Learning about the 5G air interface, multiple numerologies, frame structure, and waveform aspects.
    • 5G Core protocols: Explanation of protocols like HTTP/2, QUIC, and other enhancements to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) and massive machine-type communication (mMTC).
    • Software-defined networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV): Understanding the role of SDN and NFV in 5G networks for flexibility, scalability, and manageability.
  4. Security in 5G:
    • Cybersecurity fundamentals: Overview of security threats, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures specific to 5G networks.
    • Authentication and encryption: Understanding the security mechanisms in place for user authentication, data encryption, and privacy protection in 5G.
  5. Testing and Deployment:
    • Testing methodologies: Learning about testing procedures, tools, and methodologies used to validate and verify 5G network performance, interoperability, and reliability.
    • Deployment strategies: Understanding best practices for deploying 5G networks, including site planning, network optimization, and troubleshooting.
