[30h + 30h] 5 credits
This course is taught in the 1st semester.
Teacher(s): Claude Oestges(coord.), Luc Vandendorpe
Language: English

Aims
- to understand and simulate the performance of wireless cellular communication system (bit error rate, impact of propagation channel and interferences),
- to model the wireless transmission channel, including multi-antenna propagation,
- to design a receiver for the considered application and estimate its performance.
