Aim:
The purpose of this course is to study modern wireless systems. The bulk of this course is on how the constructors of those systems have handled the physical channel and solved problems that this channel causes. After passing this course, the student should
- be generally aquainted with modern communication, especially wireless communication, i.e. be able to briefly describe several communication techniques.
- be able to account for communication problems that has to be solved by a modern wireless system.
- be able to account for problems that are associated with mobile wireless systems, especially mobile telephony systems, and to some extent, wireless networks.
- be able to account for how modern wireless systems solve those problems and account for why these solutions work in those systems.
- be able to compare different modulation and coding methods for wireless communication in qualitative terms.
- detailed account for one commonly used modern communication system in writing using own words, with focus on how this system handles the physical channel.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
An introductory communication course is necessary.
We assume knowledge about simple channel models, both analog and digital modulation methods, binary codes for error control and introductory source coding.
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:
The course consists of lectures and a project. The project is done individually. In this project, a modern wireless system is studied in detailed and accounted for in a written report and an oral presentation.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.

Course contents:
A the lectures, the following will be treated.
- Methods for sharing a channel: Time multiplex, frequency multiplex, code multiplex, maximum length sequences, Gold-sequences, ...
- Cell planning, power control, hand-over, capacity of a cellular network.
- Modulation and coding methods for mobile telephony. First, second, third and fourth generation mobile telephony.
- Modulation and coding methods for wireless networks, such as WLAN and WiMAX.
- Ad-hoc-networks, sensor-networks.
- Modulation and coding methods for short-range communication systems, such as Bluetooth.
- Modulation and coding methods for GPS, RFID, DAB, DVB, ...
- Technological forecasts. LTE, suggestions for 5G.
