EE 609 / NIS 609 Communication Theory
Review of probability theory with applications to digital communications, digital modulation techniques,
receiver design, bit error rate calculations, bandwidth efficiency calculations, convolutional encoding,
bandwidth efficient coded modulation, wireless fading channel models, and Shannon capacity, software
simulation of communication systems.
EE 586 / NIS 586 Wireless Networking: Architecture, Protocols and Standards
This course addresses the fundamentals of wireless networking, including architectures, protocols and
standards. It describes concepts, technology and applications of wireless networking as used in current
and next-generation wireless networks. It explains the engineering aspects of network functions and
designs. Issues such as mobility management, wireless enterprise networks, GSM, network signaling,
WAP, mobile IP and 3G systems are covered.
EE 583 / NIS 583 Wireless communications
This course serves as a broad introduction to the several technologies and applications of wireless
communications systems. The emphasis is on providing a reasonable mixture of information leading to a
broad understanding of the technical issues involved, with modest depth in each of the topics. As an
integrating course, the topics range from the physics of wave generation/propagation/reception through
the circuit/component issues, to the signal processing concepts, to the techniques used to impress the
information (voice or data) on a wireless channel, to overviews of representative applications including
current generation systems and next generation systems. Upon completion of this course, the student
shall understand the manner in which the more detailed information in the other three courses is
integrated to create a complete system.
