Communication protocols and networks, basics of mobile communication networks

learning outcome

Technical competence:

After completion of the lectures, students will have knowledge and understanding of the structure and operation of modern cellular mobile communication systems, in particular GSM, GPRS/EDGE, UMTS, LTE and 5G and their protocols.

 

Methodological competence:

Students are able to understand complex issues of cellular mobile communication systems, to deepen this understanding independently and to develop their own solutions based on this.

 

Systems Competency:

Through a combination of lecture and individual work, students will subsequently understand the interaction of the components and individual functions of the system and be able to assess the impact of design decisions on the system as a whole.

 

Social Competence:

Students are able to independently solve and showcase problems of cellular mobile communication systems. By developing their own proposed solutions for selected topics individually, as well as presenting and discussing them in the group, they have learned to take other students' opinions into account and to critically question them. They were able to acquire the knowledge required for solving the tasks from available sources independently or in cooperation with others, became aware of the approach for problem solution through the presentation of the different possibilities and are able to appreciate the achievements of others accordingly.
