Learning objectives

Knowledge

The students must have insight in:

• Dynamic channels:
  • Power vs protection margins
  • Dynamic radio channel characterization
    • Short term scattering descriptions for single and multiple links
    • Channel hardening/Diversity
  • Item the interaction of multiple communication links which are jointly considered to optimize system performance
• Advanced signal processing
  • Channel characterization and processing algorithms to exploit multi link radio propagation mechanisms of multiple antenna systems, such as
    • Space and time processing
    • Spatial data multiplexing and space-time coding
    • Time reversal techniques

Skills

The students must have understanding of:

• Establish a link budget with account for dynamic protection margins for a given wireless communication system
• Evaluate properties of dynamic channels and apply stabilization techniques
• Evaluate the impact on system performance, by joint treatment of links in a multi-user/multi- network scenario – or other interaction mechanisms.
• Apply processing methods for time and space exploitation of the wireless radio channel.

Competences

The students must be able to

• Analyze, evaluate and model the PHY related signal impacts and manipulation options - and its relevance to a wireless communication system
