ECE 598 HH

Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in electrical and computer engineering intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites. Course Information: May be repeated in the same or separate terms if topics vary.

The goal of this course is to introduce students to advanced research topics in wireless networks and mobile communication systems. In each lecture, we will discuss one or two research papers that introduce new wireless designs, algorithms, protocols and applications. The papers are systems oriented and focus on practical challenges and solutions for building wireless and mobile systems. The course will cover the latest research topics including the Internet of Things, cross layer design, interference management, multi-antenna systems, distributed wireless systems, network coding, backscatter communication, full-duplex radios, wireless localization and sensing, wireless security, wireless charging? Student will also learn how to design and build wireless systems through a research oriented course project that focuses on implementation aspects of practical systems. Prerequisites: Maturity in understanding of computer networking and digital communications. At least one of the followin
