Mobile and Personal Communication enable people to communicate on the go, anywhere, anytime.
Fast developing technologies are delivering more and more essential and exciting new services.
In this course you will learn the fundamental techniques for the design and analysis of mobile and wireless communication systems.
Topics include Principles of Cellular Communication, Signal Propagation, Signal Fading and Shadowing, Advanced Modulation and Coding, OFDM Systems used in 5G Technology, Teletraffic Calculations, Co-channel and Same-cell Interference, Wireless Link Design, Coverage Prediction, multiple antenna communication (MIMO) and error correction codes.

The practical sessions include using software tools for designing and studying the performance of wireless and mobile communication systems, and using software defined radios (SDR) to emulate wireless transmissions and model wireless signal propagation.

Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.
