| Aim: The course gives basic knowledge about principles, methods and tools for the design and development of advanced communication systems for supporting applications such as those for geographic information processing. These include basic techniques used in mobile networks as well as an understanding of the mechanisms used within mobile communication. The course also gives an overview of existing mobile networks such as cellular and ad-hoc, and presents trends in mobile computing such as home area networks and personal communication. Methods used within transmission technologies such as channel modelling and information compression, as well as fundaments of geographic information systems such as collection and analysis of geographic data are presented. The course offers the possibility of personal development by employing project work. Thus, the students gain and enhance their experience with teamwork, develop their analysing, research and communication skills (oral and written) and get familiar with the industry way of solving practical problems. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Experience of software development projects in group form is required (e.g. from TDDB43 Object-oriented development of systems or TDDC02 Software Engineering Project from a wide perspective or TTIT52 Projekttermin). Basic knowledge about computer networks and telecommunication are an advantage. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: Project work, lectures, laboratory work and supervised group meetings. |
|||
| Course contents: Mobile networks and mobile computing. Network architectures, protocols, services, packet and circuit switching. Wireless local area networks. Personal and Home area network. Cellular networks. Ad-hoc networks. Medium access control, routing and QoS in mobile networks. Mobile Internet, mobile computing and other mobile applications. Mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Examples: IEEE 802.11b, Bluetooth, HAVI. Telecommunication systems: components, layering, mathematical models. Analogue and digital stochastic models of sources and channels. Performance measures; Quality Measures: noise-to-signal ratio, error probability. Capacity measure: bit rate, bandwidth. Theoretical limits and practical methods for efficient communication over unreliable channels with limited capacity including modulation, error control codes, compression and encryption. Examples: WCDMA, GSM, 3G, ADSL, GPRS. Geographical information systems (GIS): Spatial and attribute data in GIS. Data flow from sensors to presentation of results. Data capture, sensors, GPS-positioning, satellites and other systems. Manipulation, preparation and analysis of geo data. Presentation of the results as maps and reports. |
