About the course
Aim
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
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.
