Principles of Wireless Communications: Course Description

In the introductory course 'Principles of Wireless Communications' OpenCourseWare, graduate students will learn about wireless transmission systems and learn how to design, analyze and explore the fundamental limits of this communication system. The free course was taught by MIT Professor Lizhong Zheng in 2006 in a lecture session format two times per week on the MIT campus. Some of the lecture topics discussed include OFDM and ultrawideband systems, wireless channel and system models, architectural issues, resource management and power control, multiple-access techniques and multiuser detection, space-time codes and decoding algorithms, cellular and ad-hoc network topologies, multiple-antenna and MIMO systems. Students interested in taking this course should be familiar with content from 'Principles of Digital Communications I' OpenCourseWare.

This OpenCourseWare includes assignments, projects and readings. If you are interested in taking this free graduate-level course, visit the wireless communication course page.
