Short Diploma in 5G Network Architecture and Protocols

Overview

 The Geneva Institute designs the Short Diploma in 5G Network Architecture and Protocols to provide professionals with an in-depth understanding of the structure and communication protocols that define 5G technology. As 5G transforms industries with faster data speeds, lower latency, and enhanced connectivity, gaining expertise in its architecture and protocols is crucial for staying competitive in the telecommunications industry. The course explains the challenges the 5GS faces from the huge variety of services it is expected to cater to, and presents the new network features that enable the 5GS to satisfy the various service requirements in an optimal and cost-efficient way: Service Based Architecture approach with specialized NFs, Network Slicing, PDU Sessions with multiple PDU Session Anchors, hosting services closer to the user, traffic influencing from external AFs, and the 5G PCC model used to enforce service-specific subscription and traffic handling rules.
