Osaamistavoitteet

- ** Networking focus area
This area covers various aspects of wired and wireless packet switched networks. The compulsory courses focus on various aspects of local and wide area wireless and wired networks providing an in-depth knowledge of concepts like TCP/IP protocols suite, MAC-level algorithms and methods, networking paradigms (e.g. peer-to-peer networking). Optional courses cover various advanced subject including the network planning and dimensioning, traffic modeling, performance analysis and simulation of wireless networks. Research areas include development of concepts and technologies for the future evolution of cellular systems (beyond LTE), internet of things, nanonetworking. Special courses are tageted on covering this research areas.
- ** Radio Systems and Networks focus area
This focus area develops skills for theoretical understanding and practical optimization and planning of wireless radio communication systems and networks, like 3GPP HSPA, LTE, and LTE-Advanced as well as IEEE 802.11 type WiFi system, based on deep understanding of radio communications, radio propagation and system-level RF issues. It introduces the fundamental aspect of optimizing the radio access system performance through the modulation, detection and coding techniques and through the design of the radio network topology and radio resource management functions. In-depth understanding of waveform, modulation and coding related aspects is also developed during the studies.
- The student attains capabilities to understand, analyze and apply the key techniques of the chosen focus area as used in today's and future communication systems, together with related design methodologies and design tools. On top of this the student develops sufficient background for doctoral studies in the field of communications engineering.

For a chosen focus area this includes:
- advanced practical skills in the chosen focus area;
- good theoretical knowledge of various aspects of the chosen area;
- advanced knowledge of modern wireless systems and networks;
- advanced understanding of modern subjects and trends;
- wireless/wired network analysis and dimensioning;
- open problems in the chosen area.
- This advanced module can be studied either with 30cp or 50cp. In the 50cp version, student can still deepen his understanding within the selected focus area or then combine widescale understanding of the two focus areas or also partially complement his/her backround knowledge in the area of communications systems and networks.
