Aim of the course • To prepare the student for thesis project and work in the area of telecommunciations development and research. • To give experience of performance analysis of communication systems and algorithms, at the physical layer and datalink layer. • To give experience of simulation tools such as MATLAB, SIMULINK and/or Opnet. • This may include modelling and simulation of traffic sources, channel models, modulation schemes, error coding schemes, equalizers, algorithms, protocols and network topologies. • A real-world project is studied within an application area such as wireless sensor networks, cellular communications, modems for broadband access, wireless networks, short-range communication, digital TV transmission, IP-TV or IP-telephony.
Prerequisites • Computer Networks A 7.5 ECTS credits or Multimedia and communication systems B 6 ECTS credits • Wireless Internet Access B or Machine-to-Machine communication AV • Computer Engineering AB-level, 30 ECTS credits, incl programming • TCP/IP networking • Mathematical statistics Other helpful courses: • Mathematical modelling or Stochastic processes/Markov processes/Queueing theory • Transform theory or Signals and systems • Analog electronics or Circuit theory • Signals and systems, 7.5 ECTS credits.
Litterature • Matlab, Simulink and NS/3 documentation will be provided electronically. • Please repeat physical layer issues and datalink layer issues in books on Computer Networks, Machine-to-machine communications and/or Wireless Internet Access.
Requirements • All lectures and supervision lessons are mandatory. • You should attend 80% of the mandatory lessons. • You are expected to devote 20 hours/week to this course. • Qiuzzes (multiple choice tests): At least 70% correct answers. • Lab: About 20 hours of work. • Homework problem. • Oral presentations with discussion • Project report
Requirements on the project Review at least one research paper, and describe some standard and some existing simulation model. Simulate a communications standard, or check the simulations made in a research paper. At least modify an existing simulation model, for exampel a Simulink or Matlab demo, or build a model of your own (more difficult) Produce some plots for several parameter cases, showing for example BER, bit rate or delay as function of at least two different parameters, for example SNR, facing model, modulation scheme, etc. The simulation results should be stable (the plots smooth and not jerky), i.e simulate sufficiently long simulation time, or take the average of sufficiently large number of simulations. Draw some interesting conclusions from this.
Grading is based on • Keeping deadlines. • Quizzes. • Showing good understanding when answering questions from teachers and other students about your presentations. For grade B or A, the following is also required: • Mathematical modelling of stochastic processes. • Extensive own code. • Research relevance. (Required for grade A or B.)

You may demonstrate simulink model (see Matlab file central) or Prowler model. Perhaps you can add cooperative diversity. Mobile Wimax – Link adaptation and (H)ARQ: Long-term evolution (LTE) Phy Downlink with spatial modeling. Also describe LTE-A. Long-term evolution (LTE) and eMBMS Line codes. Comparison of RZ, NRZ, AMI, Manchester coding (used in 10 Mbps Ethernet), 4B5B (used in 100Base-TX Ethernet) and PAM5 (used in 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet): For a code demonstrating RZ, NRZ, AMI and Manchester, see http://apachepersonal.miun.se/~rogols/teaching/mks/lab2/LineEncoding.mdlThis code also requires this MATLAB function: http://apachepersonal.miun.se/~rogols/teaching/mks/lab2/line_encoder.m . During the rest of the project you may further develope the code to deal with 4B5B and PAM5, and to measure the bit error rate. Compare mutlihop routing algorithms. E.g. using Prowler. Compare two wireless sensor network MAC protocols. E.g. CDMA/CA vs Dynamic TDMA. Acoustic modem (develop new model – to be used by students e.g. in a competition on highest data rate) Mobile system simulator: Several moving users. Two base stations with handover or roaming (wifi or LTE). Calculate total throughput and spectral efficiency in bit/s/Hz/transmitter, and also outage probability. Try to maximize efficiency for a maximum outage of 5%. WLAN Localizating - e.g. based on SS fingerprinting and datamining Localizationg using the IEEE 802.11v or IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Packet data models: Compare models like Poisson traffic versus self-similar traffic. When does it give different result.
