Advanced wireless receivers
Summary
Students extend their knowledge on wireless communication systems to spread-spectrum communication and to multi-antenna systems. They also learn about the basic information theoretic concepts, about channel coding, and bit-interleaved coded modulation.
Content
Spread-Spectrum-Modulation:
Basic concept, direct sequence spread spectrum, CDMA
Channel coding:
Principles and basic idea of channel coding, block codes, convolutional codes, Viterbi decoder
Information theory:
Basic concepts, channel capacity, mutual information
Multi-antennas systems / MIMO:
Basic idea of spatial multiplexing, MIMO capacity, MIMO receivers (maximum-likelihood, linear, SIC, VBLAST)
Final PROJECT:
Implement and simulate the IS-95 cellular downlink and extend the standard to MIMO
Learning Prerequisites
Required courses
EE-442 Wirelss Receivers: algorithms and architectures (or an equivalent course on fundamentals of wirelss communications)
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
