Objective : The student should be able to describe the most common modulation principles (CDMA and OFDM) used in fixed and wireless (mobile) net data and speech transmission. The student will get a knowledge of the structure of fixed and mobile nets and propagation aspects (fading, reflections etc.) of mobile channels.
Principal Content : Fixed net telephone and data transmission. ADSL, VDSL and multicarrier modulation. High speed data transmission. Wireless communication, Bluetooth, WLAN – 802.11. General GSM and UMTS systems. Cell structure. Registration and location update. Roaming. Radio interface. TDMA structure. FDMA - frequency hopping systems. Planning of mobile net. Connection to the fixed net. Other mobile systems like GPRS and EDGE). Interference, fading and other problems in radio channels.
Teaching method : Class teaching with active participation by the students. The teaching is given by using some time for lectures and some time for finding relevant material on the Internet and at the library. During the course the students have to deliver (either alone or two students together) a PowerPoint or overhead presentation of chosen elements from the curriculum.
Required prequisites : In order to register for the examination DCM and DCEC must be passed.
Recommended prerequisites : None
Relations : WWL builds upon a knowledge and understanding of the DCM and DCEC curriculum.
Type of examination : Look under remarks
External examiner : Internal
Marking : Scale of 13
Remarks : A presentation of a subject chosen by the student himself and an oral discussion based on a question drawn by the student from questions already known. The above mentioned presentations are natural background for the chosen subject and for the drawn question.
Teaching material : We will try to make our own textbook by finding relevant material on the Internet and in textbooks. The Sklar book “Digital Communications” used in DCM and DCEC is used as text in part of the course. Introduction to Wireless Systems by P. Mohana Shaukar. Wiley 2002. ISBN 0-471-3216-2 possibly will be chosen - decided by the students when we start.
