Course Details
If you are involved in the monitoring and troubleshooting of 5G networks, you will appreciate that having a good understanding of the 5G protocols is critical. This course focuses specifically on the 5G RRC (Radio Resource Control) protocol between the device and the gNB. It details the key features, RRC States and RRC message formatting. RRC is then further examined through key procedures: System Information, RRC Setup, Paging, Measurements and Mobility.
