2020

Credit points: 30

Subject outline

Students learn the key principles and technologies for mobile wireless standards. The economic aspects of telecommunication systems will also be covered. Students learn the process of planning and design of cellular mobile radio base station networks. Students gain in-depth knowledge and practical approach in dimensioning base station cell sites, including antenna selection, radio coverage, and interference analysis. Upon successful completion of this subject, students will be able to use a cellular planning software tool for planning, design and operation of cellular mobile radio base station networks.
