This module introduces into advanced topics in wireless communication systems, preparing students to contribute to research projects e.g. during their master thesis in this as well as in related fields. The module covers MIMO techniques and adaptive transmission for multiple users in mobile scenarios. The focus is on the physical and medium access layers, and the support needed from the network layer.
Module contents:
1) Introduction
2) MIMO: Channel modeling, SVD, Capacity, Channel estimation, Feedback, Transmission algorithms
3) Adaptive Transmission: Waterfilling, Bitloading, Single- and multiuser MIMO, Fairness, Coordinated transmission, Clustering, User selection
4) Possible Thesis topics (changing): Distributed MIMO, Fiber-wireless systems, THz systems, LiFi (depending on projects at HHI&TUB)
Students are expected to have a basic understanding of math, high frequency engineering and telecommunications. They are ideally interested in the relation between theory and practical system design. Slides from last year are available below. Please, attend the lecture as well and contact me, in case of any questions, using my HHI email address, see below.The lecture takes place as a double course, 2x 90 minutes, with a lunch break inbetween, every Thursday 10-14 in the seminar room Fraunhofer HHI, Einsteinufer 37, seminar room 023A in the ground floor. This is in the north campus of the TU Berlin, the tall buildung near the river, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_Institute_for_Telecommunications
