Learning Outcomes
The objective of this course is to focus on short range communications with emphasis on wireless local area networks (WiFi), adhoc networks, wireless sensor networks and applications.
At the end of this course, students will have acquired advanced/in depth knowledge in the field of Short Range Communications, with particular emphasis on baseband processing physical layer techniques, and Medium Access Control design.
The students will be capable of performing numerical calculations of various wireless parameters, stochastic modelling of wireless transceivers and performance assessment by means of analytical evaluations and simulations. The students will also be capable of comprehending the design principle of Wireless Local Area Networks and Wireless Sensor Networks of Internet of Things applications.
