| Course Description | This course will cover basic topics in wireless communications for voice, data, and multimedia. It starts with a brief overview of current wireless systems and standards. We then characterize the wireless channel, including path loss for different environments, random lognormal shadowing due to signal attenuation, and the flat and frequency selective properties of multipath fading. Next we examine the fundamental capacity limits of wireless channels and the characteristics of the capacity achieving transmission strategies. The course concludes with a brief overview of wireless networks, including multiple and random access techniques, WLANs, cellular system design, adhoc network design and applications for these systems, including the evolution of cell phones. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
