5G NR RAN Architecture Overview (SA+NSA_Deployment Options)
What you’ll learn
In this course, you will learn the most essential RAN details and architecture overview which explains about both Non Standalone and Standalone deployments. Some of the details include
gNB gNB DU, Cu Architecture
Interfaces
U-Plane and C-Plane
C/U – Protocols
Connecting to Core networks.
Requirements
Basic knowledge of wireless systems and protocols in the air interface domain.
Description
Whether you are a beginner in 5G NR RAN or an experienced Technical/Managerial person, this course will help you get a head start with the 5G RAN Architecture, which is a Layer 3 RAN protocol.
For Beginners, it will provide a strong foundation in understanding the RRC features and functions as defined in the NSA / SA 3gpp specifications.
For Experienced people, this would provide a good structured recourse, with tidbits that are not explicitly mentioned in the specification.
The FAQ list that would be available to students on completion of the course, could help in Job Interviews.
Why take this course
The Instructor has been an early implementer of 5G RAN protocols, as early as when the first standardised specifications rolled out for 5G. In this course, you get an experienced explanation of RAN, gNB, CU, DU, and this might also help you understand the specification better.
The time duration of each sub-topic is very apt, to help the student stay focused, and grasp the concepts well.
After this hour long session, you will get absolutely comfortable with the RAN protocol, and be motivated to explore more about the RAN architecture.
What Topics would you learn
· Overview of NR and technology enablers: Access Side
· RAN Architecture changes from 4G and 5G, CA, EN-DC
· CA Vs EN-DC in details
· EN-DC Call Flow
· 3GPP Release 15 Specification overview for both NSA and SA
Deployment
Bonus
Students who stay invested and complete this course, would get a list of commonly asked Job Interview Questions for NSA / SA Architecture
Also, these students could get discounts on our upcoming tutorials.
