Course Description
Driven by the increasing popularity of wireless broadband services, future wireless systems intend to
support the rapid growth in high data rate applications with very diverse QoS requirements for anyone,
anywhere, anytime and at the lowest possible cost. So, this course provides an overview of mobile and
wireless communication with an emphasis on system architecture, cellular concept, the physical and
medium access layers, power control and mobility management; Fundamental concepts in mobile
wireless systems such as channel modelling, multiple access schemes, wireless cellular systems,
resource allocation and optimization, and mobile computing will be analyzed and discussed.
Objectives of the Course
After successfully completed of this course, the student should:
• Understand the general principles of wireless and mobile communication.
• Understand the fundamental problems and counter-measure techniques in digital communications over
wireless mobile channels.
• Design mitigation techniques to avoid the problems of the wireless channels.
• Understand the basics principles of mobile generation systems.
• Analyze the basic principles of radio resource management in wireless communications
• Model and simulate specific mobile communication networks
