Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to: 

  • Evaluate wireless link performance (bit error rate) in a structured way and evaluate tradeoffs.
  • Perform system simulations (modulation/demodulation, channel coding/decoding, BER, and channel models).
     
  • Explain and evaluate methods for mitigating wireless channel impairments.
  • describe different types of equalization methods and how they solve the problem of intersymbol-interference in wireless communication.
  • distinguish the difference between forward error control coding and error control coding with feedback, and how they are used in wireless communications of today.
     
  • design trellis coded modulation for additive white Gaussian noise channels and fading channels. Identify the difference in design for the two channels.
  • Explain the benefits of advanced antenna systems in wireless communication and how can they be used.
     
  • Describe various advanced techniques (CDMA, multi-user detection, OFDM etc.) and their benefits in wireless communication systems.
     
  • Describe the principle of ultra-wide-band and its difference to regular radio communication.

Course main content

  • Performance of digitally modulated signals on fading multi-path channels.
  • Synchronization in wireless communication.
  • Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Principle and applications
     
  • Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM).
  • Space-time trellis coded modulation.
  • Advanced antenna systems for future wireless communication.
  • Error control coding with feedback: ARQ and link adaptation in wireless communication.
  • Spread spectrum transmission and wireless access methods (CDMA, FH, OFDMA).
  • Interference modeling in wireless communication, joint detection and interference cancellation.
  • Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) impulse radio and its promise.

Eligibility

120 university credits (hp) in engineering or natural sciences and documented proficiency in English corresponding to English A.
