Introduction To 5G Technologies
In this course, introduction to 5G technologies.
Introduction
5G is the fifth generation of mobile/cellular networks. It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks and its Uup to 100 times faster than 4G. 5G is creating never-before-seen opportunities for people and businesses. 5G wireless technology delivers higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users.
In this course we will first look at some definitions associated with radio networks:· Electromagnetic spectrum
· Base stations
· Cells
The electromagnetic spectrumElectromagnetic radiation covers a range of frequencies (spectrum) and associated wavelengths, commonly referred to as the electromagnetic spectrum. Radio waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths than visible light.
You will learn
- Introduce 5G technologies
- Explore 5G use cases and their benefit
Time
Learn about time, key vocabulary related to time, how to read, measure and record time in different formats, order and compare dates and times and convert between hours and minutes. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Intoduction
For example, twenty past nine can be written in the following ways:
· 9:20 (there is a colon between the 9 and the 20)
· 9.20 (there is a full stop between the 9 and the 20)
Time is a non-decimal system. This means it is not measured in tens. For example:
· One day is 24 hours
· One hour is 60 minutes
· One minute is 60 seconds
Because of this, you need to be careful when making calculations that involve hours and minutes.
You will learn
- Understand key vocabulary related to time
- Be able to read, measure and record time in different formats
- Be able to order and compare dates and times
- Be able to convert between hours and minutes
Lists and Tables
Learn about lists and tables, understanding how lists and tables are used in everyday life, how to extract information from lists and tables and carry out simple calculations using information form lists and tables. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Introduction
Data is information that is gathered for a particular reason. It can be presented in different ways, including in lists and tables, to make it easier to understand and more interesting to read.We use lists and tables in everyday life. Here are some examples:
· Sports results – the results of different sporting events are often listed in a table.
· Average temperatures – when we are going on holiday, we may look at an average temperature table to find out how hot or cold it is likely to be when we are there.
· TV and radio listings – columns of text tell you about the programmes, including which channel they are on and what time they are broadcast.
· Menus – a list of the items of food and drink sold in a restaurant or café, often organised into subsections such as mains, desserts and drinks.
You will learn
- Understand how lists and tables are used in everyday life
- Be able to extract information from lists and tables
- Be able to carry out simple calculations using information form lists and tables
Dates
Learn about dates, reading and recording dates in different formats, order dates and using a calendar. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Introduction
There are many different ways of reading and writing the date.For example, the date 14 February 2023 could be written in the following ways:
· Monday, 14 February 2023
· 14th February 2023
· 14 - Feb - 23 (the day, month and year are separated by dashes)
· 14 / 02 / 2023 (the day, month and year are separated by slashes)
· 14 . 02 . 2023 (the day, month and year are separated by dots)
Dots, slashes or dashes can be used to separate the day, month and year.
All parts of the date can be shortened or abbreviated. For example, February becomes Feb and 2025 becomes 25.
In the UK, when a date is shown numerically, the first number is the day, the second number the month and the third is the year.
You will learn
- Read and record dates in different formats
- Order dates
- Use a calendar
Angle
Learn about angles, the different types of angle, how to measure angle and how to identify right angles in the real world. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Introduction
An angle is made when two lines cross.Angles are measured in degrees. The number of degrees in an angle measures the turn between the two lines. There are 360 degrees in a full circle.
We use a little circle symbol after the number to mean degrees. For example we write 90 degrees in the following way: 90° (the degrees sign is after the number 90).
There are different types of angle, such as:
• Right – a right angle is exactly 90°. The corners of squares and rectangles are 90° angles
• Acute – an acute angle is less than 90°
• Straight – a straight angle (the angle of measure for a straight line) is exactly 180°
• Obtuse – an obtuse angle is greater than 90° but less than 180°
• Reflex – a reflex angle is greater than 180°
• Rotation – a full rotation is 360° – the same as in a full circle
You will learn
- Know the different types of angle
- Know how to measure angle
- Be able to identify right angles in the real world
Time
Learn about time, specifically converting between 12 and 24 hour times, converting between hours and minutes and problems requiring calculation with time. This course is ideal for beginners.
Introduction
For example, twenty past nine can be written in the following ways:
· 9:20 (using a colon – there is a colon between the 9 and the 20)
· 9.20 (using a full stop)
Time is a non-decimal system. This means it is not measured in tens. For example:
· One day is 24 hours
· One hour is 60 minutes
· One minute is 60 seconds
Because of this, you need to be careful when making calculations that involve hours and minutes.
You will learn
- Convert between 12 and 24 hour times
- Convert between hours and minutes
- Solve problems requiring calculation with time
The Cost of Public Services
Learn how much public services cost and how charities contribute to them. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.
Introduction
The top three spending categories include:· Social protection
· Health
· Education
The following categories explain where the Government spends money:
Social protection costs £222 billion (the figure is for training purposes only)
The most money is currently spent on social protection (or welfare) which helps those who are disadvantaged, including:
o Pensions
o Disability benefits, such as cars, parking and prescriptions
o Housing, such as accommodation and upkeep
o Unemployment benefits
o Family benefits, for instance tax credits
Social security spending in UK
Over 55% of social security expenditure goes to pensioners.The government is forecast to spend £121 billion on pensioners and £94 billion on working age people and children this year. In 2017 to 2018 £121 billion was spent on pensioners and £96 billion was spent on working age people and children.
You will learn
- How much public services cost the government
- The top three spending categories
- How charities contribute to public services
