Learning Outcomes
The students will understand fundamentals as well as advanced concepts in wireless communications. They will be able to understand the wireless channel characteristics and modelling; wireless communication concepts and techniques; and application of these concepts in a cellular system context. They will be able to learn the recent developments such as opportunistic and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication techniques. These techniques have brought completely new perspectives on how to communicate over wireless channels. They will be able to quantify the wireless channel capacities and degrees of freedom regions for different channel models, such as point-to-point channels, multiple access channels, broadcast channels, interference channels, etc. Finally, they will be able to design and analysis the cellular systems, for example interim of spectral and energy efficiencies, coverage, etc.
