5G Architecture and Protocols
Instructor-Led: 2 Day / 4 Live Online Sessions
Self-Paced Online Learning: 22 Hours
This course is a detailed technical description
of the core and radio access networks of 5G. It
covers the architecture and interfaces used by
5G, the protocols used for signalling and data
transport, the provision of services over a 5G
network, and the procedures for signalling and
system operation

5G Security
Instructor-Led: 1 Day / 2 Live Online Sessions
Self-Paced Online Learning: 11 Hours
The course provides a comprehensive
grounding in this expanded set of security
requirements and mechanisms used in 5G. We
consider the 5G architecture in order to better
understand the overall security requirements.
We build on the security architecture of 4G
LTE, with relevant modifications and additions
required for 5G, before focusing squarely on
the additional features and procedures required
to secure the 5G Core Network .
Course Modules:
• 5G Architecture and the Service Based
Interface
• 5G Security Architecture and
Authentication and Key Agreement
• Security and the Service Based Interface
