Integrated Systems for Cellular Communications

What it is about

In this module you will learn how modern mobile radio terminals (e.g., smartphone modems) are built as highly integrated systems and how they interact with mobile networks. In the end you will be able to evaluate architecture, protocols, physical procedures, and business aspects, and systematically transfer them to other complex technical systems.

What you will be able to do

• Knowledge of the components and architecture of mobile modems
• Understanding the interactions of subsystems in mobile communication systems
• Application of systems thinking and evaluation of technical metrics
• Analysis of the interactions between mobile device and network
• Critical assessment of current and future mobile technologies
• Development of integrative approaches for advancing mobile communication systems

What the module consists of

• LectureConveying the subject matter on architecture, protocols, physical layer and procedures
• Group discussionsDeepening and applying systems thinking through exchange

Teaching method

• Front-of-class teachingEfficient introduction and structuring of the content
• Group discussionsDiscussion and deepening of complex interrelations
