This course is a continuation to S-72.245 Transmission Methods in Telecommunication Systems by expanding its theories into advanced digital telecommunication systems. Application area of digital communication systems is extremely wide: In addition to the well known telecommunication networks as the GSM system, it forms the bases of common-day electrical apparatuses from wrist watches to TVs, video games and satellites.
Objective of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of advanced digital telecommunications systems with a special emphases on digital, wireless communications. Course starts by inspection of cyclic and convolutional coding principles that are frequently applied for protecting digital messages in practical telecommunications channels. Course analyses transmission in fading multipath channel and determines performance of various modulation formats. Various diversity techniques are discussed to overcome transmission problems encountered due to multipath propagation. Methods of diversity can be extended to frequency, time and space diversity as well as to code diversity that is the bases of code division multiple access (CDMA) communications. As a practical application we discuss the WCDMA system. We include a discussion of multiuser detection that can be used to decrease number of base stations in spread spectrum cellular systems or to increase capacity by using multiple antenna techniques (for instance in MIMO-systems). Course is concluded by an overview to fiber-optic communications that is an important technique applicable especially for large data rate transmission as for instance between telephone exchanges.
The course is targeted to fourth year students but you may consider taking this course provided that you fulfil the course prerequisites, or you have studied equivalent subjects earlier.
