Digital Communications, Specialization Project
About
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 digital 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 digital communications,. Typical applications for projects are at present within wireless and mobile communications, satellite communications, digital subscriber line systems, and signal processing and communications in wireless sensor networks. Typical topics within these fields are e.g. multiple access and modulation 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, cognitive radio, and ultrawideband 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.
