4G/5G Architecture & eNB/gNB Testing

For test and integration engineers, radio and network engineers, and technical project managers who work with LTE and 5G equipment.

Lesson 1 · 45 min

How 4G and 5G networks are built

  • From LTE to 5G: what changed and why
  • Radio access: eNB, gNB, CU/DU split, NSA and SA
  • 4G core (EPC): MME, SGW, PGW, HSS
  • 5G core: AMF, SMF, UPF, AUSF, UDM, PCF, NRF and the service-based architecture
  • Interfaces: S1, X2, NG, Xn – what runs over each of them
  • Registration, PDU session, mobility and handover step by step
  • Voice: IMS, VoLTE and VoNR
Lesson 2 · 45 min

Testing eNB and gNB in the lab

  • The test setup: base station, core emulator, test phones
  • Bring-up: S1 and NG setup between base station and core
  • Functional tests: attach and registration, data sessions, handover
  • Voice tests over IMS: VoLTE and VoNR calls
  • Performance: throughput, latency, capacity and stability
  • Reading the signalling: NAS, S1AP and NGAP traces
  • Test plan, KPIs and a clear test report
Course 2 · 90 min video + 2 days online practice · €490

FRMCS & MCX in Practice

For railway operators, on-board and trackside equipment vendors, integrators and test labs preparing for FRMCS.

Lesson 1 · 45 min

FRMCS – the basics

  • From GSM-R to FRMCS: why the railway needs a new radio system
  • Standards: 3GPP, ETSI and the UIC FRMCS specifications
  • FRMCS architecture: on-board, radio access, 5G core and applications
  • The on-board gateway, multiple radios and multipath
  • Applications: voice, data, video and train control
  • Priorities and quality of service for critical communication
  • Migration and coexistence with GSM-R
Lesson 2 · 45 min

MCX in depth – and hands-on

  • MCPTT: private and group calls (TS 24.379)
  • Floor control: request, grant, queue and priority (TS 24.380)
  • MCData: short messages and file distribution (TS 24.282)
  • MCVideo: video calls and transmission control (TS 24.281 / 24.581)
  • KPIs per TS 22.179: access time, end-to-end access, mouth-to-ear
  • Handover and failover on the train: what the user notices
  • How to test and validate an FRMCS MCX system
Lesson 3 · Online practice and completion · 2 days

Explore the online MCX demo

The final lesson turns the architecture into hands-on learning. In the online MCX demo you see how an action in the client changes the state of the communication services – and you connect each observation with the component responsible for it.

  • Open the demo with the personal access you receive from us. Use only synthetic users, messages and harmless files.
  • Voice: start a push-to-talk call – request the floor, observe the active talker, release the floor.
  • Data: send a message or a file – compare acceptance by the server with delivery and download.
  • Video: compare the permission to transmit with the first visible picture.
  • Explore freely: for example switch off a train radio during a call or run a KPI measurement. Compare before and after, and explain the result: client, service platform or simulated transport?
  • Press “Finished”: tell us one experiment, one observation and one question or improvement – and optionally rate the training.

The demo is a simulation for learning – not an operational railway network and not a substitute for radio conformance testing. Its values are not measurements of real equipment.

Completion and certificateWhen you have watched the video and practised in the demo, press “Finished” in the portal. Your certificate is created with the name you entered when ordering and the completion date. It records completion of this training – not a professional accreditation, safety authorisation or product certification.

Click “Order now” on a course, enter your details and pay by credit card. Card payment is handled by our payment provider – we never see or store your card number. After payment you receive your personal access to the portal by e-mail. Your access is personal and must not be shared.

A computer with a current web browser and a stable internet connection. For the online demo we recommend a desktop browser such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox. No software or special hardware is needed.

Basic knowledge of networks and mobile communication helps. Course 1 explains the 4G and 5G basics that Course 2 builds on – if you are new to 5G, take both courses together.

It confirms that you completed the course: the video lessons and the practice in the online demo. It is issued by eCoreSeven; it is not a professional accreditation, a safety authorisation or a product certification, and not an accreditation by a standards body such as 3GPP, ETSI or UIC.
