8. Semester - SPRING Semester - Mobile Communication

THEME:       

Communication signals and systems

PERIOD:      

1 February – 30 June

PURPOSE:    

• To be able to design and implement basic mobile communication systems and equipment (HW and/or SW) for transmission over a stochastic fading channel. This both with respect to design and functionality.
• To acquire comprehension of typical used access, modulation and equalisation techniques in mobile communications.
• To acquire comprehension of multi-branch reception schemes (diversity).
• To be able to perform an analysis of techniques for simulation of component, system and network functionalities of a modern mobile communication system.

CONTENTS:

The project is to be based on a concrete problem of digital communication of analogue or digital data, which are transmitted over a stochastic fading channel. The full communication system and link is analysed and a full block diagram is established. One component (sub problem) is selected for thorough investigation. Essential parts of the communication system are modelled via establishment of a simulation model. The project work must include a detailed problem specification.

COURSES:   

Courses will be given in the field of Adaptive filtering theory, Error correcting codes, Radio Communication II, Wireless networks II, Propagation, antennas and diversity, Digital communication II: Equalisation Techniques for ISI Channels

EXAM:          

The external oral examination is based on the prepared project documentation. Each student is marked according to the 7-point scale.

9. Semester - FALL Semester – Mobile Communication

THEME:       

Mobile Radio Communications

PERIOD:      

1 September – 31 January

PURPOSE:

• To be able to analyse advanced mobile radio propagation, antenna and communications systems.
• To acquire a comprehension in advanced multiple access schemes, demodulation and detection techniques.
• To acquire a comprehension of advanced signal-processing topics relevant to antenna systems and receiver structures.
• To acquire knowledge in system/network level design and optimisations.
• To acquire knowledge of scientific methods in mobile radio communications.

CONTENTS:

A problem with mobile radio communications is chosen. The problem is investigated in depth and a solution strategy is chosen and implemented. The project must show ability to handle complex problems in a scientific manner.

The project should lean it self towards at least one of three key areas :

• Basic propagation investigations, modelling and antenna systems.
• Advanced data receivers or transmitters
• System level investigations, optimisations
