This 5G Network Slicing course examines 5G network slicing and those topics that impact and drive slice strategy. Service and Industry requirements are explored, as well as use case performance objectives. Technical aspects of 5G slice operation are followed by an appraisal of the techniques available to map the requirements onto a practical slice. A generic slice template, and associated attributes, are then used to generate an example slice specification. Finally, practical slice deployment and management options are investigated. Examples are used throughout. Note – Although standard slice identities have been specified, slicing defines a set of techniques that enable operators to differentiate their service offerings. Hence, any “standard” slice templates should be considered as a proprietary solution. This course does NOT attempt to build or provide any such standard slice templates, but will enable participants to better assess slice strategy and evaluate specific solutions.

The heart of any cell planning process begins with coverage and capacity estimations, this 5G Cell Planning for Railways training course will guide you through the variables that impact both coverage and capacity and provides practical worked examples for a variety of scenarios. As well as the planning process it is also important to understand the RF KPIs and measurements that determine link performance, the essential signals and measurement techniques of the NR are covered in this training as well as a detailed look at parameters that affect the random access process, location management and PCI planning. At the conclusion of this training the student will be well versed in the theory and practice of 5G cell planning with a good understanding of both the principles and application of planning techniques. With the emergence of FRMCS our 5G Rail portfolio addresses the technical requirements of FRMCS. Who Would Benefit This course is intended for network planning engineers working in the rail industry, who wish to learn about the issues that are involved when planning radio access networks for 5G FRMCS Prerequisites The course assumes familiarity with telecommunication systems and with the principles of radio network planning gained from planning GSM-R networks. Otherwise, experience gained in network planning for LTE, and knowledge of the 5G air interface, would be beneficial. Topic Areas Include Fundamentals of the 5G Air Interface Link Budget Estimation Coverage Estimation Capacity Estimation RSRP, RSRQ and SINR Parameter Setting

As 5G networks continue to expand and evolve, a solid understanding of the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) is essential for those involved in mobile network planning, deployment, or operations. This short, single-module course provides a focused overview of the 5G RAN architecture and the key features that distinguish it from previous generations. In just three hours, you'll explore the structure of the 5G RAN, including the role of the gNB (Next Generation Node B) and its functional split into Centralised Units (CUs) and Distributed Units (DUs). The course explains the key interfaces - NG, Xn, F1, and E1 - that enable communication between RAN components, other base stations, and the core network. You'll also gain insight into different deployment scenarios such as Dual Connectivity (DC) and Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC), which allow 5G to coexist and coordinate with legacy networks. Additionally, the course covers the evolution of the fronthaul interface from CPRI to eCPRI, the importance of backhaul capacity, and the need for precise timing and synchronisation in high-performance 5G networks. Designed for technical professionals needing a clear and accessible introduction to 5G RAN architecture, this course delivers the essential concepts required to understand and engage with today’s 5G radio access technologies.
