The new generation of communications networks, 5G, has as its founding principle the redefinition of the architecture of the cellular network, with the idea that flexibility is its key feature. In this way, all aspects of the network have been designed following the principles of a series of key technologies, as they are:
  • Software Defined Networking: Separating the control from the user's data plane and turning this control plane into a fully controllable and reconfigurable software entity.
  • Network Function Virtualization: Separating the concepts of resource and its place of execution.
  • Micro-service architectures: abandoning the idea of specific interfaces, difficult to maintain, to embrace common interfaces based on services.

Through the use of these technologies, new generation networks will be more efficient, flexible and above all capable of innovating and adapting to the future. Starting from this idea, the Master in 5G proposed by UC3M, presents a unique set of technologies that allows the student to understand the basic concepts behind the new network architectures, identifying how these concepts have been adapted and implemented in these networks as well as the implications of their use. To complete the training in 5G technologies, the student will also study the main radio technologies used in this new generation, such as the new 5G-NR air interface, the use of mmWave, beamforming, scalable numerology, etc...
The objective of this degree is the training of professionals capable of applying technologies related to NFV and SDN to the design and operation of telecommunications networks, especially in 5G technologies.
