6057COMP:Mobile and Wireless Systems CS (optional) Year Long – 2013-2014 Dr. Omar Abuelmaatti Room 711, Tel. 231- 2623, O.E.Abuelmaatti@ljmu.ac.uk
Course overview • The course will provide advanced understanding of modern mobile and wireless systems. It will provide the fundamental technical concepts for the design, modeling, implementation and optimisation of mobile and wireless systems including GSM, UMTS, WLAN and WiMAX systems. It will cover concepts including architectures, design and implementation, mobility and network management, network evolution and development, rollout, adaptation and optimisation.
Module Aims • To provide an in-depth study of the application and network requirements of wireless and mobile communications systems. • To develop an understanding of the theory and practice of building modern mobile and wireless systems. • To develop an advanced understanding of the technical concepts for the design, modeling, implementation and optimisation of mobile and wireless systems.
Learning Outcomes After completing the module you should be able to: Critically review and identify the technical requirements of applications and network infrastructures supporting modern wireless systems. Apply creative skills in the development of applications and network infrastructures of modern wireless systems. Critically evaluate and identify the technical requirements of applications and network infrastructures supporting modern mobile telecommunication systems. Apply knowledge in the development of applications and network infrastructures of modern mobile telecommunications systems.
