Course Overview
This course explores the mobile networks in operation today, and in so doing describes the technologies, services, and markets.
Comprising eight modules, this course begins by reviewing the current market position prior to describing how mobile technology has evolved over the past 30 years – from the early networks through to the potential of 6G. Emphasis is placed on the networks currently in commercial operation to describe evolving services and applications. The growth in machine-type communications is explored, and the new critical communication-based services such as V2X, extended reality, and the metaverse are analysed, before finally taking a brief glimpse into what 6G has in store.
