| The wireless telecommunications industry has grown tremendously since first cellular system was developed in 1983. Systems evolved from providing voice (2G) to all-IP data networks (4G), creating a need for researchers and engineers with knowledge about cellular radio systems and digital wireless communications techniques. Wireless systems that provide personal and M2M communications constitute a major research area of vital importance. The course will provide important knowledge to students who wish to work in wireless communications or wish to enter the telecommunications industry. The course is mainly focused at physical layer and includes fundamental theory, design trade-offs and practical issues of high capacity cellular communications systems. Trunking, RF propagation, frequency reuse, co channel interference management, hand-off, dropped calls and design of CDMA systems. | |
1. Students are able to do of cellular radio system design and analyze the effects of large scale fading on cell coverage for signal and traffic. 2. Students are able to analyse and implement techniques for co-channel and non co-channel interference reduction. 3. Students are able to apply techniques to optimize hand-offs and dropped calls. 4. Students are able to design a GSMCDMA system for the forward and reverse link in a realistic uniform capacity condition. | |
