5G NR HANDS ON- LOG ANALYSIS
About Course
The “5G NR HANDS ON- LOG ANALYSIS” is a comprehensive training program designed to equip students, engineers, and professionals with hands-on experience in setting up, configuring, and managing a virtual 5G NR (Long Term Evolution) network. This course covers key components of the Evolved Packet System (EPS), including the (gNodeB), NG Core (NGC), and User Equipment (UE) simulation within a virtualized environment. Participants learn to deploy open-source 5G NR stacks, configure interfaces, and analyze protocol interactions using tools like Wireshark and srsRAN. The course also emphasizes understanding the 5G protocol stack (NAS, RRC, MAC, PHY, SDAP, RLC, PDCP), mobility management, and Quality of Service (QoS) configuration, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world implementation.
By utilizing this Course eliminates the need for expensive hardware while providing a scalable and accessible learning environment. It supports remote learning and is ideal for academic institutions, research scholars, and telecom professionals aiming to deepen their understanding of 5G architecture and operations. Participants gain practical skills in network setup, parameter tuning, log analysis, and basic troubleshooting, making them industry-ready for roles in network testing, optimization, and system integration. Upon completion, learners will be capable of independently analyse each protocol layer, paving athe way for advanced research and development in wireless communication systems.
