To acquire general concept on new generation mobile networks (3G, 4G, 5G, 6G) as part of a communication system. To provide an overview on main operating principles of a structured mobile network, such as the available services also from a financial and economic viewpoint, quality requirements, mobility management, security, secrecy and authentication problems, localization services, power control of connected devices, access technologies from wireless devices, evolution of architecture of SW network virtualization, algorithms of array processing to allow dedicated efficient links in modern standards (5G and beyond) between terminals or smart objects connected to the IoT world.
