The focus is on the theoretical foundations of digital communications over wireless channels, with material building on fundamental principles from information theory, communication theory, detection and estimation, and signal processing. A brief outline of the course contents is as follows.
- Capacity of wireless channels
- Multiuser capacity and opportunistic communication
- MIMO I: spatial multiplexing and channel modeling
- MIMO II: capacity and multiplexing architectures
- MIMO III: diversity-multiplexing tradeoff and universal space-time codes
- MIMO IV: multiuser communication
The three main topics are 1) channel capacity and information theory for wireless communications; 2) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission; 3) multi-user scenarios.
