Laboratory course in wireless communication systems and networks

Max amount of FITech students: 12

Persons without a valid study right to a Finnish university have preference to this course.

The course introduces the basics of system level simulation of wireless communication systems using ns3, with special focus on LTE (4G).

Course contents

• Review of digital communications
• Simulation tools for evaluating the performance of digital communication links
• Introduction to software-defined radios
• Wireless cellular network architecture and basics of ns3 simulator
• Analysis of cellular networks using ns3

Learning outcome

After the course, the student will be able to

• test digital communication links using simulation tools (e.g. gnu-radio, MATLAB, python),
• implement a digital communication link using software-defined radio, and
• build a system-level simulation of wireless networks using ns3.

Completion methods

Assignments and final work. No fixed schedule.
