Learning outcomes
The course structure is divided into three parts: mobile radio networks, radio resource management and emerging areas in wireless communications. Reference systems include GSM, UMTS and LTE. Related to mobile radio networks, the students are be able to analyze the structures of typical mobile radio networks, to explain it's evolution from traditional circuit-switched into packet-switched implementation and to assess protocols together with different protocol layers used in network elements in mobile radio networks. The students are also able to assess typical functionalities related to mobile radio networks (e.g., location management and call setup procedure). The part introducing and asssessing radio resource management functionalities targets in providing relevant information so that the students are able to understand and analyze different interference management and radio resource management techniques used in typical wireless networks. The emerging areas or topics introduce certain hot topics related to wireless communication networks, and after the course the students are able to understand and analyze different approaches to structure and manage wireless networks.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Mobile radio networks: - Mobile network structures - Mobile radio protocols - Mobile radio network functionality The students are able to assess the structures of GSM, UMTS and LTE radio networks, and are able to understand the main functionalities and protocol structures used in these mobile radio networks. In addition, the students understand the evolution of circuit-switched network into packet-switched ones and are able to understand the mobile core network evolution together with radio network evolution. | ||
| 2. | Radio resource management functions: - Radio resource management and modeling - Resource allocation, admission control and load control - Power and rate control - Handovers and mobility - Scheduling (including link adaptation and hybrid ARQ) - Spatial multiplexing techniques The students are able to understand to main motivation of interference and radio resource management in wireless networks. After this part, the students are able to assess and possible invent new methods for different radio resource management strategies related to resource management, load and admission control, handover mechanisms, power and rate control, packet scheduling and spatial multiplexing tehcniques. | ||
| 3. | Emerging areas in mobile radio networks (e.g., self-organizing networks, cognitive radio networks, adaptive antennas) After this part, the students are able to vision the future of mobile networks, and indentify the limiting factors of mobile network evolutions. |
