САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

The results of our ongoing efforts to develop an ICon curriculum on intelligent wireless connectivity are presented in this paper. The new core curricula encompass a range of subjects, including the fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing (CC), and artificial intelligence (AI). It is emphasized that it is necessary for students to learn about the 5G architecture, protocols, and applications, understand the fundamentals of IoT and CC infrastructure, as well as learn about the various AI techniques and their applications and limitations. We suggest that educators design hands-on Lab exercises and projects that include simulation, emulation, and analysis of 5G networks that allow students to gain hands-on experience in understanding the details of the system. In the development ICon platform, Matlab interactive environment is selected for modeling and simulation 5G-NR connectivity links and open source project open5GS core network with end-to-end perspective. The development requires interdisciplinary collaboration, and new ICon core curricula should reflect this by bridging gaps between traditionally separate fields of study.
