Wireless Networks KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Overview

What you will study

The Wireless Networks course, offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the theory and practice of mobile data networks. Covering basic design principles as well as analytical tools for network performance evaluation, and with a focus on system-level resource management, you will learn how state-of-the-art network design can enable you flexibly and efficiently to manage and trade-off various resources such as spectrum, energy, and infrastructure investments.

Topics covered range from traditional elements such as medium access, cell deployment, capacity, handover, and interference management, to more advanced network design elements such as MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) antenna technologies, heterogeneous networks, energy -efficiency, considering different generation of wireless networks such as 4G and 5G.

Special emphasis is put on wireless infrastructure deployment, system design, resource management, and the performance analysis of systems for mobile telephony, data, and multimedia communications focusing on the interplay between energy, cost and spectrum resources.

Upon the completion of this course, the student should be able to:

• apply the most important techniques for analyzing the capacity, design, resource management, and performance of Wireless Networks

• use and modify simulation tools for performance evaluation of Wireless Systems

• read the current literature at both conference and journal levels.
