RWTH Certificate Course 5G Communication and the Internet of Things

Real Time Capability and High Data Rates - LTE as a Pioneer

Learn the principles and technologies of future wireless 5G communications systems in the areas of system design, communications technology, optimization of LTE systems, HF systems and IoT platforms. Get to know methods and tools to create the foundation for new products and to successfully keep them on the market.

Course Contents

▶ Holistic concept: from system design over the basics of signal processing to the platform
▶ Optimization and machine learning in 5G LTE
▶ Practical planning game as part of an innovation workshop
▶ Graphical development environment for IoT platforms

Group of Participants
Engineers and/or executives with a technical degree in the areas of electrical engineering, manufacturing, mechanical engineering

Motivation
5G has the potential of revolutionizing key industries such as health care, transport, infrastructure, media and production. This brings with it important tasks and great challenges: extremely low latency periods of 1 millisecond, 100 times higher data rates than today's networks, 100 billion end devices across the world as well as low power usage. The Internet of Things and intelligent networks are key elements of 5G. The methods and approaches of this technology open many new business models for KMUs.

Methodology
The course consists of six subject blocks (lectures with exercises) and a practical training as part of an innovation workshop. In this course, the participants independently develop an IoT system application based on a graphical user interface.
