FITech 5G mobile communications

After passing this course, the students have a good understanding on the potential, requirements, use cases and core enabling technologies of future 5G and beyond wireless communication networks. Particular emphasis is on the 5G new radio physical layer and radio system/network aspects.

3GPP standard development

• release 15
• on-going developments and future targets and visions

5G core enabling technologies

• flexible physical layer: CP-OFDM with mixed numerology options
• spectrally enhanced CP-OFDM
• mm-wave communications
• massive MIMO and beamforming
• advanced duplexing solutions including full-duplex
• network densification and ultra dense networks

5G new radio (5G-NR) radio interface

5G requirements and use cases

• 5G applications/verticals
• available spectrum
• peak data rates, area capacity, latency, reliability, mobility support
• enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)
• massive MTC, internet of things (IoT)
• ultra reliable low-latency communications (URLLC)
