| Objectives: |
To develop an understanding of the fundamental and advanced principles of wireless
communication and mobile networks. The unit addresses wireless communication and mobile
network issues at the physical communication, link, and network layers. Wireless channels will be
explained with current mitigation techniques. Multi-user communication systems will be examined
with an emphasis on the broadcast nature of wireless communication. Mobile network modeling,
design, and optimization will also be covered, along with current and future mobile network
standards. |
