This course focuses on the analysis and design of wireless communication systems, including both one-to-one communication and multiple-user networks. We will cover the topics including cellular concept, wireless channel characteristics, wireless modulation and coding, and wireless networks. The objectives are to give the students overview of wireless systems, instruct the basic techniques for communications, and illustrate the state-of-art for wireless networks.Required textbook:
