About the course
Aim
The students should after completing the course be able to:
- Identify the most important components and functions of a mobile communication system
- Explain the differences in characteristics between different types of mobile communication systems and motivate their existence
- Compare and explain areas of applications for different mobile communication systems
- Relate functions, terms and technologies to the correct level in a communication system architecture
- Argue for the role of the mobile communication systems in different applications
- Evaluate trade-offs between different mobile communication technologies and systems
- Define and calculate key performance metrics of a mobile communication system
- Assess the performance of different mobile commmunication technologies given a set of application requirements
- Apply models and methods for planning of cellular networks
Content
The course aims to provide knowledge in mobile communications, especially different system characteristics and performance. Mobile communication technologies include e.g. modulation, medium access control, mobility management, radio resource management, network planning and dimensioning. Covered mobile communication systems are e.g. GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE and WLAN.
