Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

This course consists of thematic seminars where course participants present/review research papers and actively participate in discussions. Supporting lectures will also be provided. The seminar topics include:
 - Analytic and simulation approaches to performance evaluation of wireless systems
 - Optimization problems for wireless system design and solution techniques
 - Emerging requirements for wireless systems and potential solutions.

Intended learning outcomes

This course provides a wide range of research problems for the design and operation of wireless communication systems. It also provides various analysis and optimization techniques useful for tackling those problems.
After the completion of the course, the student should be able to:
 - identify challenging research problems for the design and operation of future wireless networks
 - describe analysis and optimization techniques as potential tools for tackling the wireless system design problems
 - evaluate suitablity and possible advantages and disadvantages of each analysis and optimization technique
 - summarize and critically review research papers in the area of the course.
 Eventually, the student should be able to compose own research problem, choose and modify proper techniques, and apply these to the problem.
