Lehrinhalte
The goal of this lecture is twofold. First, to provide a solid overview of modern wireless communication systems. To this end, the scope of addressed topics is very broad, ranging from technologies suited for personal/short range (Bluetooth, ZigBee), local networks (IEEE 802.11) and ad-hoc/mesh networks (IEEE 802.11s) to the classical cellular networks, including the most important standards in the evolution path: GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE, and LTE-Advanced. Second and most importantly, the aspect of integration of the above-mentioned systems will be discussed (e.g., mobile IP), with many practical details on how different technologies and solutions can co-exist together in order to improve the overall service efficiency. Additionally, student will be able to gather hands-on experiences with selected technologies through homework (e.g., running computer simulations).
