Understanding the 5G protocol stack is an essential step in gaining a deeper knowledge of the 5G infrastructure and operation. Take a closer look at the 5G protocol stacks using this course to gain a more intimate understanding of their operation.
Examine the layers of the 5G protocol stacks, identify the role of the more traditional Internet Protocol (IP) within this framework, and explore the definition and operation of specific layers of the 5G protocol stacks.
You'll have an understanding of the fundamentals of protocol stacks as well as the 5G core network after completing this course.

Objectives

5G Mobile Network Providers: The 5G Protocol Stacks discover the key concepts covered in this course outline the purpose of a protocol stack and identify how it aids in understanding, designing, and operating communication networks examine the features of protocol stacks that define the mechanisms and operation of wireless identify the role of the Internet Protocol (IP) within a 5G network in both the short and long term compare the 4G protocol stack with that of 5G and determine how the former enables the latter describe various 5G protocol stacks, their functions, and their overall operation within the framework of a 5G network analyze the 5G user plane stack and how it enables end-to-end communication examine the user plane stacks associated with communication over the Xn and N4 interfaces analyze the 5G control plane stack and how it enables the communication between the UE and the AMF examine the 5G control plane stack and how it enables the communication between the UE and the SMF investigate the control plane stacks associated with communication over the Xn and N4 interfaces summarize the key concepts covered in this course
