Prerequisites
Basic courses in programming and statistics as well as basic course in computer networking and/or telecommunication.Intended learning outcomes
The course aims to provide knowledge in mobile communications, especially different system characteristics, modeling and performance. The students should after completing the course be able to:
- Identify the most important components and functions of a mobile communication system
- Explain the differences in characteristics between different types of mobile communication systems and motivate their existence
- Compare and explain areas of applications for different mobile communication systems
- Relate functions, terms and technologies to the correct level in a communication system architecture
- Argue for the role of the mobile communication systems in different applications
- Evaluate trade-offs between different mobile communication technologies and systems
- Define and calculate key performance metrics of a mobile communication system
- Assess the performance of different mobile commmunication technologies given a set of application requirements
- Apply models and methods for planning of cellular networks
- Quantitatively model and evaluate selected parts of a mobile communication system
- Apply previous knowledge from statistics, modeling, programming and data/telecommunications in the area of mobile communications
- Independently plan, perform and document a research oriented project in the area of mobile communications
Course content
Overview of modulation, channel coding, and medium access control for mobile networks. Performance metrics and trade-offs. Models for capacity, mobility and radio resource management. Network planning and dimensioning. Specific systems, such as WiFi, GPRS, and HSDPA.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, tutorials and smaller project assignment.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
