Advanced Wireless Networks and Systems

The course provides a comprehensive introduction to mobile networks. It introduces the technologies behind and standardisation of these networks from holistic, architectural, and operative perspectives. The course covers the core network and the radio access network, with a special emphasis on the core network. The most common control functions of a mobile unit are described, such as for instance UE registration, establishment of a PDU session, and mobility. In addition to providing the basic theory of mobile networks, the course also allows students to apply the theory in practice through practical measurements in a mobile test network.
