COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed for graduate students (typically in their second year of graduate study) in Electrical Engineering. Topics to be covered are link level issues in both narrowband  and wideband  wireless communication systems. These include issues such as propagation modeling for wireless, modulation techniques for digital signaling on wireless channels, receiver structures for optimum detection on wireless channels (including effects of MAI (multiple access interference) and ISI (intersymbol interference)), link quality and channel estimation techniques for wireless communications, performance analysis of TDMA and CDMA cellular systems, radio resource management including power control, channel allocation and handoffs.
