Advanced Wireless Networks

Catalog description

Advances in wireless communications, especially in the area of bandwidth and mobility, made it possible for users to communicate using multiple media, ranging from low rate applications as in wireless sensor networks, to high rate applications as in HDTV, to high mobility networks as in Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) networks. This course emphasizes current and future advanced wireless networking technologies to support a wide range of applications, including WPAN, WLAN, WMAN, and WWAN like advanced LTE. It also presents the convergence of various networks and services. Discussion covers technical issues from Physical layer to Application Layer, as well as a few contemporary issues of wireless communication networks using recent papers from IEEE and ACM journals and conference papers. Normally, a computer project is required. Familiarity with certain background information is highly desirable including the subjects of wireless and computer communications networks such as modulation and detection, media access control, and network protocols.
