Wireless networks premier
Program Overview
This course introduces wireless networks technologies to help participants understand their differences, strengths and weaknesses, and basic operating principles. Our goal is to allow participants to gain a system perspective of a complex set of wireless technologies. The course gives knowledge on how these technologies can be put together into practical systems to meet real-world requirements for different applications. You will be empowered to deepen your understanding and appreciate design choices and tradeoffs of wireless networks via numerous comparisons, such as capacity, coverage, throughput, QoS, MAC protocols, and Multiple Access Techniques.
