Registration of  the course should be done by Topi.
1st lecture is on 22.9.2004 at 9 - 12 a.m. in hall E110, wellcome!

Course status: Fixed Radio Networks can be included as an optional  course in the major/minor subject Communications Engineering, Signal Processing in Telecommunications. It is also included in the curriculum of the International Master’s Program in Telecommunications. 

Course targets
The course gives basic knowledge about fixed radio networks  (radio wave propagation and channel models, radio local area networks (RLAN), radio access networks (RLL), transmission networks implemented with terrestrial radio relay systems) so that a new telecommunication network designer, user or system planner knows their main principles, possibilities and limitations, manages the terminology, fundamental principles and mathematical tools. Emphasis is put on the provision of a comprehensive view, which is supported by the more detailed treatment of certain selected topics (system technology, planning methods etc.). The goal is also to show the need and applicability of theoretical framework to practical system solutions. 

Prerequisites: The course S-72.245 Transimission Methods in Telecommunication Systems (4 credits) is assumed to be acquired before this course. 

Lectures and exercises: These are held weekly at the following times in autumn term 2004: 

         Wednesdays 9 - 12,  E 110 (22.9. - 20.10.) and S4 (27.10. - 1.12.)

The lecture plan is attached. Possible changes are announced on the course homepage (http://www.comlab.hut.fi/opetus/135/) and on the information board on floor G3. 
No separate exercises will be held. Demonstration examples are inter-leaved with the lectures. 

Teacher: The responsible teacher of this course professor Sven-Gustav Hägg-man. 

Assignment
The course includes an assignment, which is done in two persons’ teams. In the assignment the planning of the access part of the core network of a cellular system is done. The work is based on the use of computer tools and digital map. 

Requirements
The course requrements are an exam and an assignment. The exam requirements consist of the material distributed to the students. The first exam is on December, 2004, and the next exam will be in spring 2005. 
In the exam the use of mathematical tables and scientific calculators is allowed and desirable. 

Final grade
The final course grade is calculated from the formula: 

                    Final grade =  (2Texam + Tassignment)/3
