Content

The module mobile communication presents major topics from mobile and wireless communications - the key drivers behind today's communication industry that influence everybody's daily life. 

The whole lecture focuses on a system perspective giving many pointers to real systems, standardization and current research.

The format of the lecture is the flipped classroom, i.e., you should watch the videos of a lecture BEFORE participating in the Q&A session. We will then discuss all open issues, answer questions etc. during the Q&A session.

Main topics of the lecture are:

  • Basics of wireless transmission: frequencies, signals, antennas, multiplexing, modulation, spread spectrum
  • Medium access: SDMA, FDMA, TDMA, CDMA;
  • Wireless telecommunication systems: GSM, TETRA, UMTS, IMT-2000, LTE, 5G
  • Wireless local area networks: infrastructure/ad-hoc, IEEE 802.11/15, Bluetooth, ZigBee
  • Mobile networking: Mobile IP, ad-hoc networks
  • Mobile transport layer: traditional TCP, additional mechanisms
  • Outlook: 5 to 6G, low power wireless networks
