niit 5g certification

Last updated on 

Here's a breakdown of what a typical NIIT 5G certification program might cover:

  1. Introduction to 5G Technology: Understanding the evolution of mobile networks from 1G to 5G, the need for 5G, and its advantages over previous generations (like higher data rates, lower latency, massive device connectivity, etc.).
  2. 5G Architecture: Detailed study of the 5G network architecture, including the core network (5GC) and radio access network (RAN). Topics might include network slicing, virtualization, cloud-native architectures, etc.
  3. Radio Access Technologies: Explaining the different radio access technologies used in 5G, such as millimeter-wave (mmWave), Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), beamforming, and others.
  4. 5G Core Network: Understanding the components and functionalities of the 5G core network, including the various nodes like Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), User Plane Function (UPF), Session Management Function (SMF), etc.
  5. Protocols and Interfaces: Detailed study of various protocols and interfaces used in 5G networks, such as NR (New Radio) air interface protocols, signaling protocols like NGAP (Next Generation Application Protocol), transport protocols like SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol), etc.
  6. Network Slicing: Exploring the concept of network slicing, which allows the creation of multiple virtual networks on a shared physical infrastructure to cater to diverse use cases with varying requirements.
  7. Security in 5G: Understanding the security challenges in 5G networks and learning about security mechanisms and protocols implemented to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and privacy.
  8. Use Cases and Applications: Exploring various use cases and applications enabled by 5G technology, such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), IoT applications, etc.
  9. Deployment Scenarios: Studying different deployment scenarios for 5G networks, including standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) deployments, network densification, small cells, etc.
  10. Hands-on Labs and Projects: Practical exercises, simulations, and projects to apply the theoretical knowledge gained throughout the course, possibly using simulation tools or real-world case studies.
