Course Details
This short course is designed to introduce the key aspects and methodology of the 5G NR (New Radio). In so doing, it provides some basic understanding of the 5G Radio Frame as well as the concept of 5G Numerology. It will then finish off with an overview of the NR operational procedures including access and mobility.

Philip Nugent
Mpirical Trainer
Phil heads up Mpirical’s technical development, advising on the latest technologies and assisting the Mpirical team with his wealth of both historical and current knowledge. Phil’s specialist area is the mobile radio and RAN space, originally focussing on 2G and 3G technologies but more recently, heavily embedded with 5G New Radio for both Mpirical and customer specific projects.
