Outline and Purpose of the Course We will introduce mobile cellular systems, wireless LANs, Ethernet, optical disks, etc. as specific applications of information transmission. We also discuss issues in the design of each system and their solutions.
Course Goals Students will gain an understanding of fundamental concepts involving highly reliable information transmissions via communication channels with noise and interference.
Schedule and Contents (1) Communication systems (3 weeks)
Lectures discuss general configurations for communication systems and wireless communication systems, as well as link budget and channel capacity.

(2) Optical disks and Ethernets (2 weeks)
Discussions are made of pulse-code modulation (PCM) and baseband transmission required for understanding optical disks and Ethernets.

(3) Multiple access for wireless systems (2 weeks)
Discussions are made of multiplexing, multiple access, channel allocation, and user scheduling, which are necessary for mobile cellular systems and wireless LANs.

(4) Cellular systems (1 week)
We describe the cellular system that realizes wide area public wireless service and introduce the concept of clusters and handovers.

(5) Fading, and countermeasure techniques (2 weeks)
We introduce a typical model of fading in urban areas and countermeasure techniques, including diversity, etc.

(6) High-speed and high-efficiency technologies (2 weeks)
We introduce orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) as high-speed transmission technologies.

(7) Spectral efficient technologies (2 weeks)
We introduce multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) transmission as spectral efficient technologies.

(8) Confirmation of extent of student learning (1 week)
Confirmation (i.e., evaluation) is made of the extent that students understand the concepts involved in highly reliable information transmissions.
Evaluation Methods and Policy 【Evaluation method】
Written examination (up to 100 points), reports or exercises (total of 1 or 2 times, maximum of 5 points each) are carried out, and the total points (up to 100 points) are evaluated.

【Evaluation criteria】
Evaluation is based on the achievement level of the target.
Course Requirements Students are recommended to have taken "Modulation Theory in Electrical Communication".
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) Portions of this course involve explanations of applications of "Modulation Theory in Electrical Communication". Students must review these by discovering for themselves the relationships between those applications and "Modulation Theory in Electrical Communication".
