Mobile Internet

Course Description

Wireless networks and technologies overview. Data in GSM, GPRS, EDGE and UMTS network. Internet protocol (IP) in mobile networks. Wireless IP. 4G IP-based mobile networks. Ad hoc networks and Mobile IPv6. Quality of service in mobile environment. IP-based mobile network services. WLAN/UMTS interconnection. Video coding and transmission in IP mobile networks. Adaptation techniques for multimedia content distribution.

General Competencies

Upon completion of the course students will understand the problems and solutions of IP implementation in mobile communication systems. They will have extensive theoretical knowledge about 4G mobile networks. Students will have the ability to analyse specific requirements for multimedia transmission over IP mobile networks, and they will be able to develop error-resilient techniques to overcome wireless channel limitations.
