WIRELESS AND MOBILE BROADBAND INTERNET
18 November – 15 December 2014
COURSE DESCRIPTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Title: Wireless and Mobile Broadband Internet
Short Description: This course will focus on Wireless and Mobile Broadband Internet from technology, regulation and business aspects. It will cover the Internet architectures, IPv4 and IPv6 fundamental technologies, mobility aspects of convergence to all-IP wireless networks, as well as standardized wireless broadband technologies WiFi (IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11ac) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16). Further, the course will include 4G mobile broadband Internet technologies - LTE/LTE-Advanced and Mobile WiMAX 2, including Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and 4G radio access technologies, ITU spectrum management for the mobile broadband, as well as business challenges and opportunities for 4G broadband. Also, it will cover IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), QoS-enabled mobile VoIP and mobile IPTV, mobile Over-The-Top (OTT) services for VoIP (Skype, Viber), video services (Youtube), and non-real-time OTT services (social networking, cloud services, application ecosystems), location-based services, as well as regulation and business aspects. Finally, the course will incorporate the developments and key technologies for 5G as next generation of mobile broadband, including HetNet architectures, Femto and small cells, multi-RAN (Radio Access Networks) mobile terminals, the development toward personal user-centric mobile Internet accompanied with Mobile Cloud Computing and future mobile broadband services, as well as business and regulation challenges for future mobile broadband Internet.
Dates: 18 November – 15 December 2014
Duration: 4 weeks
Developed by: This eLearning course has been developed by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies (FEEIT), Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje under the auspices of the ITU Centres of Excellence for Europe. It will be delivered through the ITU Academy.
