Aim

The aim of the course is three-fold:

Connect different technologies within the telecommunications area to a complete radio system design, optimized for a realistic transmission channel.

Put a focus on the total cost in order of components, complexity and energy for systems with large number of components, such as IOT-networks.

Illustrate different system and design compromises, such as the trade off between spectrum efficiency, system performance, system cost and energy consumption. This is done with the practical implementation in mind.

Introduce models and show how theoretical analysis, computer simulations and empirical measurements can be used in combination.

Contents

The course addresses modern radio systems, their principal design, performance analysis, and the design methodology for both complete systems as well as important sub systems. Radio system design possibilities and limitations are discussed with a starting point in the properties of radio channels. Fundamental building blocks, required to meet different system specifications, are presented and their design is discussed. System requirements considered include data rate, bit error rate, reliability, cost, complexity, energy etc. Both traditional systems for mobile telephony as well as modern wireless systems for data, multimedia communications and Internet of Things (IoT) are addressed. New results in the area are introduced in the form of journal paper studies, which complement the course literarture.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The performance assessment has two components. The first part is a series of hand in assignments . The second and grading part is a (five hour) written exam, consisting of both closed book questions and open book problems.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
