This unit will introduce the key ideas in modern wireless telecommunications networks. It will address physical layer issues, such as propagation and modulation, network layer issues, such as capacity, radio resource and interference management, and artificial intelligence (AI) based signal processing. The following topics are covered: (1) Wireless channel: Multipath fading, frequency selective fading, Doppler spread, statistical models, diversity, OFDM; (2) Capacity and Interference: Cell types, coverage, frequency reuse, interference management, SIMO, MISO, multiuser diversity, OFDMA, beamforming; (3) MIMO and transceiver design: SVD, water-filling, beamforming, V-BLAST, SIC, MMSE, Power Allocation; (4) 5G NR technology: Air interfaces, architecture and higher layers; and (5) Advances in artificial intelligence for 5G signal processing.
