About the course

Course content

The course is designed to equip the student with in-depth knowledge within a selected topic within the field of wireless communications, by means of the realization of a scientific project. As a main rule the project work is to be done by individual students, but can also be done within smaller groups if this is deemed worthwhile. The topic is chosen after discussion with a professor, from a list of currently available topics within the field of wireless communications,. Typical applications for projects are at present within mobile communications, wireless local area networks, cognitive radio, signal processing and communications in wireless sensor networks, and satellite communications. Typical topics within these fields are e.g. multiple access and adaptive modulation (single- and multi-carrier) methods, dynamic resource allocation in communication networks, performance analysis and system modeling, novel standards for wireless and wired communication systems, channel modelling and measurements, spectrum use and capacity analysis, source and channel coding, energy-efficient protocols in short-range radio communications, spectrum usage detection in cognitive radio, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems, and ultra-wideband systems. The outcome of the work, which typically combines theory and literature studies with simulations and possibly implementation work, is a written project report as well an oral presentation of the project.
