Wireless Networks: from Cellular to Connected Objects

The goal of this course is to provide an in-depth understanding of select advanced problems in wireless networking.

The course is on wireless networks with a particular focus on cellular networks. We don’t explain how a specific technology is working. We rather explain what are the main concepts and approaches present in all (or many) wireless technologies and we give examples from specific technologies. Moreover, we explain why technological choices have been made. Wireless networks are not only about radio access (see core networks, services, applications, etc), but this course focuses on it.

Requirements: INF557 "From the Internet to the IoT: The Fundamentals Of Modern Computer Networking"

Evaluation mechanism: A TD report is due every week (1/2 of the final grade). A Project report and defense are due at the end of the course (1/2 of the final grade).

Language: English (but with bilingual teaching staff)

At the end of the course, the learner will be able to have a deep understanding of wireless networks at lower layers from a performance and protocol perspective.
