AKTU 5G Networks and Communications (HTAC501) Syllabus PDF – B.Tech Honors Degree in Advance Communication Technology

Course Objectives

1. To let the students understand that air Interface is one of the most important elements of communication and Networks.
2. To differentiate between 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G and 6G. While 3G was CDMA based, 4G was OFDMA based Network systems.
3. To let the contents of air interface for 5G. While 4G brought in a deluge of infotainment services.
4. 5G aims to provide extremely low delay services, great service in crowd, enhanced mobile broadband (virtual reality being made real), ultra-reliable and secure connectivity, ubiquitous QoS, and highly energy efficient networks.

Course Outcomes

1. Understand and explain the channel models of 5G and the use cases for 5G.
2. Analyze use of MIMO in 5G and its techniques.
3. Draw and explain 5G architecture, its components and functional criteria.
4. Understand device-to-device (D2D) communication and standardization.
5. Understand interference management, mobility management and security issues in 5G.
