Course Summary
After the successful completion of the course the students will have the knowledge to:
- Design, analyse and develop wireless networks in the access and core segments,
- Experiment and evaluate their performance under controlled and actual transmission/reception conditions,
- Adapt and customize their building blocks for heterogeneous services provision, personalized content with optimized resource exploitation and maximum possible QoS provision, as well as their convergence with heterogeneous networking platforms.
