Lehrmethodik
Didactic conceptOffer a good balance between depth and broadnessCover theory, general principles, and real technologyOffer a combination of communications and networkingFocus on understanding and seeing the “big picture”Exploit methods from mathematics and stochasticsProvide handouts that are complemented in classOffer many examples to illustrate conceptsEncourage students to interact and give feedbackOffer means to deepen and broaden the lecture contents by anexercise course, well-selected textbooks, and lecture videosLectures are complemented by group projects. Tutorial courses are offered by teaching assistants.
Inhalt/e
The lectures “Mobile Communications” and “Wireless Networks” give an introduction to mobile communication systems. Students gain a fundamental understanding of the principles behind wireless communications and networking. Current technologies — such as 4G/5G and IEEE 802.11 — are discussed as examples. The content is structured in a bottom-up manner, starting from physical layer, then covering higher layers and networking concepts.
Erwartete Vorkenntnisse
Intended audience: Both lectures "Mobile Communications" and "Wireless Networks" and accompanying exercise courses are intended for senior bachelor students and master students in information and communications engineering or informatics, and first year PhD students in engineering who have a master from a different area. Informal requirements: Participants should have passed the bachelor lectures:Computer Networks and Network Programming, Communications Engineering, and Stochastics.
