Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
- You should have passed EEET2115 Communication Engineering 2
or
- signals and systems description in time and frequency domains, random signals and noise, analog and digital modulation, noise and signal to noise ratio calculations.
Course Description
Mobile and Personal Communication enable people to communicate on the go, anywhere, anytime.
Fast developing technologies are delivering more and more essential and exciting new services.
In this course you will learn the fundamental techniques for the design and analysis of mobile and personal communication systems.
Topics include Principles of Cellular Communication, Signal Propagation, Signal Fading and Shadowing, Advanced Modulation and Coding, OFDM Systems used in 5G Technology, Teletraffic Calculations, Co-channel and Same-cell Interference, Wireless Link Design, Coverage Prediction, multiple antenna communication (MIMO) and error correction codes.
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onwards. See the WAM information web page for more information.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes:
1.3 In-depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering discipline.
2.1 Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.
2.2 Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources.
On successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Discuss the principles and operation of cellular communication systems
- Describe the concept of wireless communications, signal propagation, and wireless channels
- Perform teletraffic and interference calculations
- Analyse and design cellular wireless links
- Perform cellular coverage area calculations
Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities including pre-recorded lectures, Tutorials, and Lab Exercises. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.
There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
Overview of Assessment
This course has no hurdle requirements.
The fundamentals, concepts and technical problem solving with any numerical calculation skills will be assessed. All assessment tasks will also assess your ability to critically analyse results and provide arguments to support design decisions. Written feedback will be provided on all assessment tasks except for the Final Assessment.
