Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

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
