Course Title:
Wireless Communications
Course Description:
Treats a diverse range of topics in wireless communications for applications such as cellular mobile radio, personal communication services, and wireless local area networks. Offers a working knowledge of both narrowband and wideband radio propagation models, including multipath fading and shadowing. Explores the system-level design of cellular networks, including the concepts of frequency reuse, channelization, handoff, power control, cell splitting, sectorization, and Erlang capacity. Covers modern multiple-access methods, including code-, space-, time-, and frequency-division multiple access. Compares coherent, differentially coherent, and noncoherent signaling techniques from the perspectives of spectral efficiency, bit error rate, and transceiver complexity. Explores both optimal and practical receiver designs and covers topics such as digital equalization and diversity techniques.
