CS6895Wireless Networking and Mobile Communications3 ch
This course provides introductory overview of the architecture and protocol design for wireless communication networks. Specifically, this course focuses on the topics of multimedia traffic modelling, wireless channel modelling, radio resource management, cellular concept, call admission control, wireless multiple access techniques, open-loop access control, and end-to-end flow and congestion control, a review of queueing theory for performance analysis. The goal of the course is to introduce the fundamental concepts, tools and methodologies in wireless and mobile networks, and the application of such knowledge to analytically evaluate the performance for current and emerging network design. Also, a project component is included for students to explore state-of-the-art wireless technologies and investigate novel ideas in the related areas.
