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 wireless communication in general and cellular mobile communication in particular.

The topics covered in this course include principles of wireless and cellular communication, signal propagation, signal fading and shadowing, advanced modulation and coding, OFDM Systems used in 5G technology, cell designs and traffic calculations, co-channel 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.
