Learning outcomes of the course unit

This course will cover the most promising technologies investigated in the context of 5G wireless communications which are planned to be standardized and deployed by 2020. We will start with the main applications that have motivated a new generation of networks and explain various improvements that have been suggested in all communication layers. The attendees will be able to understand the limitations of current networks as well as the requirements of the next generation, motivated by the vertical industries. Furthermore, they will be able to study new architectural paradigms, as well as proposed evolutions in the networking and physical layer of communications.
