Course detail
Mobile Communication Systems
FEKT-MPC-SMKAcad. year: 2020/2021
Students become familiar with the elementary principles of signal propagation and data transmission in mobile networks. The cours continues with explanation of principles, that apply in data transmission in GSM, GPRS and EDGE networks, including the measurement of Quality of Services and network optimization issues. Emphasis is put on explanation of the principles of 3rd a 4th generation mogile systems (UMTS, LTE). During the course, the principles and properties of wireless access networks (802.11x), WiMAX neworks, ITS, and the specifics of Car2Car and Car2X communication are discussed.
