Abstract

Wireless communications is a one of the most rapidly evolving fields in electrical engineering. Recent years have witnessed the expansion of wireless communication into every aspect of modern life including, among others, business, leisure, healthcare and transportation. In recent years the development of 5G cellular has been making rapid progress. It is clear today that 5G will be based on massive MIMO communications and on node cooperation. Another notion that is in the present focus is the internet of things (IoT). IoT will heavily rely on communications which will be realized by low-cost devices and will operate in unfavorable conditions. Understanding how to optimally implement communications systems is challenging environments is essential for taking part in the design of communications, e.g., for 5G and IoT.

In order to support the future direction of wireless communications, communication systems have become more complex than ever and in accordance so have the tools required to design and analyze them. This class aims at introducing the students to some of the most advanced methods for analysis of modern communications systems and the basic principles guiding their design. The knowledge given in the class is fundamental and will remain valid as new standards evolve.
