If you need to add another course to your spring semester schedule, enroll in CSCE 465/865 (Sec. 001): Wireless Communication Networks.
Professor: Nirnimesh Ghose
Time: T Th 12:30–01:45 p.m.
Location: 119 Avery Hall
Course description: Wireless and mobile systems have become ubiquitous; playing a significant role in our everyday life. The increasing demand for wireless connectivity and the emergence of new areas such as the Internet of Things present new opportunities and challenges. This course introduces foundations and practical insight to wireless communications and wireless/mobile networking. Current practices and future trends will be discussed.
Among the topics covered are: wireless network architectures, wireless channels, OFDM, MIMO systems, software-defined radios, cellular networks, WiFi, and IoT. The course will cover the recent developments in wireless networks and include a group project that will provide hands-on interaction with wireless communication and networking devices. You will have the chance to apply what you have learned in the course during the project.
This course will cover principles of wireless communication: FDMA, TDMA, OFDM, wave propagation, and antennas with hands-on experiments on wireless spectrum. It will also cover principles of wireless networking: WiFi networks, cellular networks (4G, LTE-A, 5G), channel access, congestion, mobility management, and pricing with hands-on experiments on programmable WiFi and 5G devices. Students will get to explore some of the next generation wireless solutions: Gigabit Wi-Fi, 5G, LTE-A, IoT, and MIMO experiments with software-defined radios.
