Wireless access systems support locally constrained wireless connectivity and mobile access to a backbone network (typically the Internet). In this course the student develops a comprehensive understanding of existing and upcoming wireless access technologies (including WiFi, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, VANET) and related Physical Layer and Medium Access Control Layer problems and opportunities.
Lernziel
The course consists of two tracks. The track "Technology&Systems" is structured as regular lecture. In the introduction we will discuss the challenges and potential of pervasive wireless access and study some fundamentals of short/medium range wireless communications. The main body of this track is devoted to existing and upcoming systems. A comprehensive survey of Ultrawide band (UWB) as the promising transmission technology for pervasive wireless access completes this track. In the track "Simulate&Practice" we form student teams that implement and analyze functional blocks of the physical layer of various advanced wireless access systems based on MATLAB simulations. The track includes combination tasks where different teams combine their functional blocks (e.g. transmitter, receiver) in order to simulate the complete physical layer.

Zusatzinformation zum Prüfungsmodus
ATTENTION: As part of the course the students present their solutions to three problem sets. These presentations - which may be given in groups - are graded on a pass/fail basis. In case of a "fail" a follow up date is defined where open issues are resolved by a supplementary presentation and the tentative grade is revised. In order to be admitted to the oral exam a student has to pass all three problem sets once (it is not necessary to redo the problem sets prior to repeat the oral exam).
