Communication Network Planning ENG742
Introduction
This unit builds on the concepts and techniques of signals and linear systems acquired in the 2nd year of the course and adds large scale network planning and design. Topics include communication network planning, cellular concepts, mobile radio propagation analysis techniques, and communication media. The unit includes a major project that will give students experience in planning a communication network focused on providing IoT services with consideration of regulatorily standards and requirements, various data volumes and types of traffic, and scalability. In addition students will gain experience in project management, communication and reporting.
