NETB357 Мобилни комуникации (на английски език)

NETB357 Mobile Communications  

Spring 2010

Course Overview

This course is a survey of the design and implementation of wireless and mobile communication systems. This course provides in-depth coverage of propagation, modulation, coding techniques, path loss models, GSM, 2.5G, 3G, and 4G, wireless data technologies, wireless local loop, WAP, Bluetooth, WLAN, mobile IP, wireless WEB, and actual trends.

Course Prerequisites

Prereq: NETB 154, or consent of instructor. We assume that students have a basic level of knowledge of computer networks and communication systems thus we will spend only a small fraction of lecture time reviewing introductory material.

Group Requirement:

All student groups must develop and implement a home page by the middle of the second week.

Group Project:

The group project will develop a max 15 page case study on a recent novel topic, with a related PowerPoint Presentation. This material will be posted on the WWW. The specific software services (if any) will be installed and demonstrated on the private LAN in our Lab.

Course Format and Grading Policy

New material will be presented in lecture format. Presentations, exercises and assignment solutions will take place in discussion. Participation in the discussions, although not mandatory, is strongly recommended and may result in extra credit.

Four homework assignments/quizzes, one project, a midterm and a final examination will provide the basis for the grade. Late submission will not be accepted unless permission by the instructor was given prior to the due date.

No predetermined scale will be used. The final grade will be assigned based on the following weighting

  • Homework/quiz - 30%
  • Project 20 %
  • Final exam 50 %

Cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. They will result in no credit for the assignment or examination. This should not be understood as a discouragement for discussing the material or your particular approach to a problem with other students in the class. On the contrary - I urge you to share your thoughts, questions and solutions, for example over e-mail. Naturally, if you choose to work in a group, I will be expecting more than one and highly original solutions rather than the same mistakes.
