Wireless Networking Technologies [WNT]

#40275, Summer 2024

Contents

The goal of this lecture is twofold. Firstly, to provide an overview of the modern mobile communications systems. The overview will mainly scope on the mobile data transmission systems (especially WLAN), but also classical cellular networks, e.g., GSM, GPRS, UMTS and LTE/LTE-A, will be revised. Secondly, the aspect of integration of these systemes will be discussed, with many practical details on how the different technologies and solutions can be brought togeher in order to improve the overall service efficiency. A special attention will be put on problems with adjusting the individual mechanisms/solutions to work in a cooperative framework.

Learning Outcome

The learning objective is to unserstand the fundamental concepts of wireless networks. Students understand these concepts and are able to apply this knowledge.
