Mobile Telecommunication System

Course Overview

Course Description:

“The course provides an introduction to wireless communication systems. The course will introduce radio propagation and transmission principles used in different wireless communication systems such as mobile system, satellite communication, radio transmissions. The course will discuss radio channel characteristics such as fading, interference and doppler shift to develop a good understanding of the radio engineering area. The course will discuss different techniques used to support voice, data and video communication in wireless systems. The course will also discuss the wireless networks, cellular, mobile technology, mobile collaboration and application in several domain and their basic design thereof from both theoretical and practical points of view"

Course Topics:

This course will provide an overview of wireless communications, with an emphasis on untethered transceivers. We will cover the traditional topics – channel modeling, demodulation in the presence of noise, and error control coding – and then move on to recent developments in multicarrier modulation, spread spectrum, and space-time modulation and coding. We will emphasize applications to successful wireless and LAN systems. We will also consider higher-layer system concepts such as mobility management, with an emphasis on 3rd and 4th generation cellular systems. The course will conclude with a brief overview of communication and privacy law, with a discussion of recent research into privacy-aware network design techniques.
