Course content

The course is taught every second year, next time spring 2011.
The course treats network architecture and protocols for wireless systems including mobile IP. The following themes are covered: System and network architecture of wireless access networks including: discovery procedures, paging, resource administration of bearer (both regarding access points and capacity), interworking between mobile and wireline networks and between heterogeneous wireless network solutions. Current systems will be inspected and compared (3GPP access technologies as well as IEEE 802 based). Special emphasis is put on mobility management in heterogeneous environments.
