| Wireless Telecommunications |
Wireless Communications is a comprehensive course on wireless, mobile telecommunications plus wireless LANs and satellites.
You'll gain a solid understanding of the key principles of wireless and mobile networks:
• Coverage, capacity and mobility
• Why cellular radio systems are used
• Mobile network components and operation
• Registration and handoffs
• Digital radio
• Data over cellular
• Cellular technologies and generations:
- 1G analog FDM
- 2G GSM and IS-136 TDMA
- 3G UMTS and 1X CDMA
- 4G LTE OFDM
Plus, you'll receive an overview of the radio frequencies and standards for wireless LANs and an overview of satellite communications.
The objective of this course is to develop a solid understanding of mobile communications networks and technologies. We'll cut through the jargon to demystify wireless, explaining the jargon and buzzwords, the network, technologies, the underlying ideas, and how it all works together... in plain English.
