Welcome and introduction video

(pleasant chime music) - Our journey to mastering 5G architecture and protocols starts here. In modern society, 5G Networks become a critical infrastructure to support variety of operations from regular mobile broadband and voice to banking, telesurgery, and private enterprise networks, and the requirement for speed, latency, and reliability has never been more urgent. This course will guide you through the main principles of 5G architecture and protocols, including new service-based architecture, considerations of 5G base station functional split options, as well as evolution and deployment aspects. If you're a 5G RAM core network engineer, or IT pro seeking 5G digitalization, this course will empower you to identify the optimal architectural solution for your 5G network. I am Gleb Marchenko, a former Ericsson engineer with a decade of experience in mobile network planning and optimization. I am now an independent 5G/6G technical trainer and advisor. I am a multiple winner of Huawei IT competitions and share my knowledge through my YouTube channel. This course will provide an in-depth explanation, not only architectural, but also new protocols aspects. We will start our discussion with the fundamentals, exploring the evolution, driving factors of new service-based architecture components, 5G standalone and non-standalone options. Subsequently, we will explore more advanced topic such as 5G base station functional split, 5G core functions and dual connectivity features. Every module is designed to provide a practical experience with realistic scenarios, ensuring immediate application of knowledge to your own network infrastructure. You will also gain insights into the best practices and common pitfalls, empowering you to make a smart decisions when rolling out 5G or when modernizing already deployed 5G network. By the end of this course, you will fully understand 5G architecture and protocols, not only from a deployment point of view, but also from historical and use-case considerations linked to your own business goals. You will investigate 5G RAN and core protocols and solutions for your network infrastructure. customizing to meet precise SLA requirements, and identifying measures for revenue-generating opportunities.
