iisc 5g course

A 5G course at IISc would typically cover various technical aspects of the fifth-generation wireless technology, including:

  1. Introduction to 5G Technology: Understanding the evolution from earlier generations of wireless communication (4G LTE, 3G, etc.) and the key features that differentiate 5G, such as higher data rates, lower latency, massive device connectivity, and network slicing.
  2. Wireless Communication Fundamentals: Basics of wireless communication systems, modulation techniques, multiple access schemes, antennas, propagation models, and signal processing algorithms that are crucial for 5G technology.
  3. 5G Architecture and Network Design: Detailed study of the 5G network architecture, including core network (5GC), radio access network (RAN), and various network functions. Understanding the design principles, network elements, and their interactions in the 5G ecosystem.
  4. Radio Access Technologies for 5G: In-depth knowledge of the different radio access technologies (RATs) used in 5G, such as millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication, massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), beamforming, and carrier aggregation.
  5. Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications: Understanding how 5G enables connectivity for a massive number of IoT devices and M2M communications, along with the protocols and technologies involved.
  6. Spectrum Management and Regulation: Learning about spectrum bands allocated for 5G, spectrum sharing techniques, regulatory frameworks, and policies affecting the deployment and operation of 5G networks.
  7. Security and Privacy in 5G Networks: Addressing the security challenges in 5G networks, including authentication, encryption, privacy concerns, and potential vulnerabilities in the architecture and communication protocols.
  8. Applications and Use Cases: Exploring various potential applications and use cases of 5G technology across industries like healthcare, automotive, entertainment, smart cities, and beyond.
