At the end of this course, the students will be able to: Understand the technology and underlying principles of wireless
communications. Describe building blocks of wireless networks. Describe elementary examination of thescience and
technology of wireless communications including radio signal propagation (including multipath effect) Describe radio
channel modeling, interference-limited communications, coding, modulation, anti-fading techniques like transmit and
receive antenna diversity, equalization etc. Describe essential functions of all cellular telephone systems like frequency reuse, cellular hierarchy, sectorization, handoff and power control etc. are discussed. Understand thetechnical, practical, and
up-to-date treatment of the latest wireless communication technologies and system design implementations. Examine the
emerging personal communications systems and emerging personal communications services. Describe important
terminology and definitions (like wireless, mobile, cellular, mobility. Data/voice/multimedia, circuit switched, packet
switched etc.) Define the emerging personal communications systems and emerging personal communications services.
Explain the various standards and systems, which have been developed (including 4G and 5G systems), and basic issues
involved in the design of wireless systems. Address of the potential problems associated with the access technology for the
fourth/fifth-generation systems and providing the vision of the future-generation systems. Understand other subjects
related to wireless communications. Explain spread spectrum techniques (Direct sequence and Code division multiple access
(CDMA), Frequency hopping) Explain Multicarrier techniques including Orthogonal Frequency division multiple access
(OFDM) and Multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) Explain Ultra Wideband communications etc..
