Objective:

To introduce to the students the concept of digital modulation and demodulation techniques, performance of digital communication systems using error probability and wireless mobile communication systems, cellular systems and wireless networks, wireless propagation models, multiple access scheme, and performance of wireless communication systems.

Topics:

Mobile Communications begin with a discussion of FDMA systems and follows with the evolution through TDMA, CDMA, and SDMA techniques. Engineering principles required for each multiple access strategy are presented parallel to it. For communication engineers and others involved in wireless mobile communications,
