Supervisor:
Department of Telecommunications Engineering
Synopsis:

The goal of the course is to provide an overall overview of mobile communications in the variety of analog and digital systems. The main emphasis is put onto contemporary GSM network (including new supplementary technologies) and onto the transition towards 3rd generation networks (UMTS). It also deals with the area of mobile communications based on employment of telecommunication satellites; public and private radio / paging systems and radio networks are discussed as well.

Requirements:
Syllabus of lectures:

1. Telecommunication systems and their division. Fixed and mobile communications.

2. Basic knowledge about propagation of EM waves. Frequency bands, their limits. Structure of networks.

3. Cellular networks as a basis for current mobile communications. Modular techniques, Block diagrams.

4. Cordless telephones. Generations and standards. Structure, modulations, frequency planning.

5. Mobile cellular telephone networks - analogue systems. Generations and standards, incorporation into future networks.

6. Mobile cellular telephone networks - digital systems. Review of systems and standards. Differences and regional applications.

7. Mobile cellular telephone networks - digital systems. Compatibility and incorporation. GSM.

8. GSM - architecture of systems and subsystems. Practical realisations. Software equipment. Services and their incorporation.

9. GSM - services and their incorporation. Transfer of data in GSM systems - HSCSD, GPRS...

10. Technical equipment of GSM systems and their generations. Structure of individual network levels and block diagrams.

11. Satellite communication. Telecommunication satellites - GEO, MEO, LEO. Individual systems and their applications.

12. Public paging systems. Communication ways and software equipment. Ways of technical realisations.
