About

About the course

Course content

The course gives a thorough introduction to communication theory for modern wireless communication systems. The selection of topics might depend somewhat on the interests of the participants, but will typically include: Statistic modelling and analysis of fading channels, MIMO systems, space-time coding, multiple-access techniques in cellular systems, opportunistic and cooperative transmission schemes, interference-limited wireless networks, and link adaptation in wireless systems.

Learning outcome

To provide the participants with a thorough grounding in modern communication theory for wireless communication systems, and thereby an increased understanding for design and analysis principles, theoretical performance limits, and optimization methods for such systems.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, colloquia, seminars, and self study

Required previous knowledge

None apart from those listed above.
