Wireless Networks for 4G/5G Instructors: Sumit Roy and Tom Henderson TA: Collin Brady UW EE P 569/ EE 595 B
Course Objectives Introduce selected topics in 5G-oriented wireless systems Fundamentals of modern wireless networks Technical and industry trends towards 5G Conduct performance evaluation studies of wireless network models Mixture of mathematical analysis and network simulations Students will use the ns-3 network simulator for projects
Course Assessments Seven homework assignments (60% of grade) Three will be based on hand-worked problems Four will be based on ns-3 network simulator Class project on a wireless network performance evaluation topic (40%) Project will be based on using or extending ns-3 Project outlines due by week 4 Presentations during March 14 class time
Office Hours and Help Typically, the last lecture hour each week (9PM-10PM) will be devoted to hands-on help and ns-3 guidance Questions not handled in class will be handled via email Office hours TBD Contact information for Tom Henderson Chat: https://ns-3.zulipchat.com Email: tomhend@uw.edu
