Course Objectives This course will cover basic topics in wireless communications for voice, data, and multimedia. It starts with a brief overview of current wireless systems and standards. We then characterize the wireless channel, including path loss for different environments, random lognormal shadowing due to signal attenuation, and the flat and frequencyselective properties of multipath fading. Next we examine the fundamental capacity limits of wireless channels and the characteristics of the capacityachieving transmission strategies. The course concludes with a brief overview of wireless networks, including multiple and random access techniques, WLANs, cellular system design, and adhoc network design.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Understand the general wireless standards
  • Understand the cellular concept and cellular system fundamentals
  • Understand the Mobile Radio signal propagation, path loss and channel models
  • Understand the analog and digital modulation schemes
  • Understand the concept of multiplexing
  • Understand the wireless networking and wireless standards
  • Undestand the concepts of wireless WANs
Course Description The objective of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the basics of wireless networking, standards, components, site planning, installation and configuration.
