5G Architecture and Protocols for Railways

This 5G Architecture and Protocols for Railways training course is a detailed technical description of the core and radio access networks of 5G. It covers the architecture and interfaces used by 5G, the protocols used for signalling and data transport, the provision of services over a 5G network, and the procedures for signalling and system operation.

With the emergence of FRMCS our 5G Rail portfolio addresses the technical requirements of FRMCS.

Who would benefit

The course is intended for engineers and other staff who are involved with the architecture, optimization, management, monitoring or testing of the 5G network.

Prerequisites

An engineering background with some knowledge of core and radio access network technologies is assumed. A basic understanding of 5G and experience of LTE networks would be desirable.

Topic Areas Include:

5G introduction, use cases and standardisation Radio access network architecture and deployment options Network architectures for dual connectivity Architecture of the 5G core network Network Function virtualisation, slicing and orchestration Interworking and compatibility between 5G, LTE and Wi-Fi

PDU connectivity, Quality of Service and service provision Control plane and user plane protocols in the 5G network Implementation of network function services using HTTP/2 Signalling procedures for registration, security and session management Network operation in Idle, Inactive and Connected modes

Optional 5G Virtual Lab Module Explore, Test, Optimise, and Troubleshoot the 5G System Deep dive into the key signalling scenarios in the 5G system and analyse the output to build a deeper understanding that goes beyond the theoretical. The lab is a fully emulated 5G System environment that enables you to experiment with the configurations for Network Functions and build customized settings for signalling scenarios that helps you to develop greater insight into the operation of the 5G System. Lab modules can be added to any relevant 5G course.
