EE360 - Advanced Topics in Wireless Communications - Spring 2004

Professor Andrea Goldsmith

This course will focus on research issues in multiple access techniques (including the impact of multiple antennas), cellular system design, and ad-hoc wireless networking. A rough set of the topics to be covered will be given during the first week of classes. Lectures will be based on required reading from magazine and journal articles, textbook sections, or supplemental handouts. Active class participation is mandatory: Each student will present a paper on one of the class topics to the class, and required reading must be done before class. In-class time will be divided between lectures, student presentations, and group discussions. The course grade will be based on class presentation and participation, two paper surveys based on the required and supplemental reading, two homework assignments based on the required reading, and a final project.
