Course Description: Wireless communications is a rapidly growing
segment of the communications industry. The number of cell-phone users alone is
expected to pass 1 billion worldwide within next few years, and wireless LANs
is also poised to experience exponential growth. Wireless technology not only
supports voice, data, and video communication between portable devices located
anywhere in the world, but also provides the backbone technology for sensor
networks, smart homes, telemedicine and remote learning, and automated
factories and vehicles. This course will cover the fundamental wireless
communication techniques that support these various applications, with a
primary focus on the communication system design.
