EELE 5490, Fall, 2009Wireless Communications Ali S. Afana Department of Electrical Engineering Class 1 Sep. 30th, 2009
Outline • Instructor information • Motivation to study wireless communications and networks • Course descriptions and textbooks • What you will study from this course • Objectives • Coverage and schedule • Homework, projects, and exams • Other policies • Reasons to be my students
Instructor Information • Office location: B262 • Email: aliafana@iugaza.edu • Phone: 2809 • Course website: http://www.iugaza.edu/aliafana • Research interests: Cognitive Radio Intelligent Wireless Communications
Motivations • Recent Development • Cellular system: 3G, 4G, video, game, • WIFI everywhere • WIMAX, • UWB, no cables • Bluetooth, small devices connections • Job Market • Probably one of most easy and high paid majors recently • Intel changes to wireless, Micron will follow? Cypress • Research Potential • multiuser communication & Cognitive radio are still an open issues.
Course Descriptions • What is the wireless communication system? • What are the wireless channels? • What are the theorems? • What are the major components and techniques? • How is the information transmitted? • What are the current industrial standards? • Can I find a job by studying this course? • Can I find research topics?
Textbook and Software • Require textbook: Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice, 2nd Edition, Theodore S. Rappaport, Prentice Hall, 2001. • Require Software: MATLAB; • Recommended readings • Digital communications: J. Proakis, Digital Communications • Random process: G.R. Grimmett and D.R. Stirzaker, Probability and Random Processes • Estimation and detection: H.V. Poor, An introduction to Signal Detection and Estimation • Information theory: T. M. Cover and J. A. Thomas, Elements of Information Theory • Error correct coding: P.Sweeney, Error Control Coding • Computer Networks: A. S. Tanenbaum, Computer Networks
Schedule • Cellular concept and network concept - Chapter 2 • Wireless Channel • Large scale loss: chapter 3 • Small scale loss, Fading: chapter 4 • Wireless communications technique • Modulation, chapter 5 • Equalization, diversity and channel coding, chapter 6 • Wireless Networks and Standards • chapter 8,9,10
Homework, Project, and Exam • Homework • 3~4 questions per week • Projects: • Wireless Channel Simulation: simple MATLAB programs • Term presentation: • For research on xxx, what is the state-of-art • Exams • Votes for the percentages for homework, projects, and exams • Participations • Attendance and Feedback
Teaching Styles • Slides plus black board • Slides can convey more information in an organized way • Blackboard is better for equations and prevents you from not coming. • A lesson from last semester: math • Course Website • Print handouts with 3 slides per page before you come • Homework assignment and solutions • Project descriptions and preliminary codes • Feedback • Too fast, too slow, small class advantages. • Presentation, English, …
Reasons to be my students • Wireless Communication and Networking have great market • Usually highly paid and have potential to retire overnight • Highly interdisciplinary • Do not need to find research topics which are the most difficult part. • Research Assistant, Stipend • Free trips to conferences in Alaska, Hawaii, Europe, Asia… • A kind of nice (at least looks like) • Work with hope and happiness • Graduate fast
Wireless Communications • Satellite • TV • Cordless phone • Cellular phone • Wireless LAN, WIFI • Wireless MAN, WIMAX • Bluetooth • Ultra Wide Band • Wireless Laser • Microwave • GPS • Ad hoc/Sensor Networks
Channel, Bandwidth, Spectrum • Bandwidth: the number of bits per second is proportional to B http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochrt.pdf
Mobile Radio telephone • AMPS: advanced mobile phone system
North American Major Standards • PCS • GSM • Coreless • FDMA • TDMA • CDMA • Modulation • FM • QPSK • GMSK • BPSK • QAM
Europe Standards • GSM • CT2 • Dect
Basic concepts • Simplex, half-duplex, and full duplex • Frequency division duplexing, FDD • Most of system because of simplicity • Time division duplexing, TDD: • indoor system only, because of delay • Different from FDMA and TDMA
