Advanced Wireless Systems and Networks (ES96T)
Aims : To understand the performance of different wireless networks in modern cities, in the context of: functionality, architechture, resource allocation and mutual interaction. |
Syllabus : Advanced wireless communication systems and networks will cover the emerging challenges related to wireless data transfer. These can be broadly categorized into:
The most pressing challenges are in urban areas, where there is exponentially growing appetite for wireless data. The topics tackled will be: 1.Introduction to Advanced Wireless Networks in Urban Areas: Driving factors behind mobile data growth and challenges related to cost and interference. 2. Network Architecture: Evolution from 3G to 4G to 4G Advanced in terms of physical layer and architecture. Heterogeneous radio network deployment and integration. 3. Performance Metrics: Signal and interference power, capacity and throughout, outage probability, quality-of-service, quality-of-experience, cost- and energy-efficiency and consumption; 4. Large-scale Network Modelling: A software (MATLAB) and mathematical (stochastic geometry) approach, with consideration to Monte-Carlo sampling, wrap-around, use mobility modelling techniques; 5. Radio Resource Management Mutli-user scheduling in different wireless networks, antenna tilting and both hard and soft frequency reuse techniques; 6. Multi-hop Networks Macro- and micro-level signal diversity, data extinction probability, and repetition cooperative networks; 7. Power Management and Low Energy Wireless Networks Sleep mode, adaptive antenna basestations, heterogeneous network; 8. Application of wireless communication in Smart Cities/Living and Smart Grids: Machine-2-machine communication, home energy useage monitoring and mobile sensing application. |
