ECE 629: Wireless Networks in ECE

Instructor:

Bijan Jabbari, Professor

Prerequisites

ECE 531 or ECE 542 or permission of instructor.

Course Introduction

ECE 629: Wireless Networks. 3 credits.

The course covers the foundation and design of wireless communication networks. It includes radio channel characterization, transmission techniques for mobile radio, state-of-the-art performance evaluation of channel, resource assignment and network infrastructure, and mobility, handoff, interference, and capacity modeling applicable to wireless cellular and local networks. Additional topics covered include system architecture, control traffic loading, resource optimization, multiaccess protocols, admission policy and call control, as well as spectrum sharing technique and coexistence, and multilayer network configurations. Offered by Electrical & Comp. Engineering.
