Advances in Mobile Communication Systems

This years topic of the mobile communications seminar is focused on wireless sensor networks, M2M and their new signalling scenarios in LTE, IMS and Video Coding. The new mobile standards for LTE and LTE-A introduce a wide range of changes in radio and core network of the mobile operatores. In addition to this the 3GPP started to standardize new services for mobile network in order to allow optimal conditions for machine to machine (M2M) and low latency applications, e.g., online gaming.

In the first part of the seminar, university researchers present their latest research in their field of LTE, LTE-A and new applications. 

In the second part of the seminar, students will read literature and research papers M2M, Wireless Sensor Networks, Signalling in LTE and reflect their results by their own presentations. Please choose one paper from our suggested paper list and report to Philipp Svoboda till 30.03.2012. Papers will be assigned on a first-come first-serve basis. Note: you can also bring your own topic/paper, the list is only a suggestion.

The round of student talks will start after the easter holidays on Thursdays with 2-3 Students per session. A list of dates will be put online after paper registration.

Lecturers:

Univ.Prof. Peter Farkas,
Univ.Prof. Jan Prokopec,
Univ.Prof. Christoph Mecklenbräuker,

+ invited researchers

Language:

English

Mode:

The attendance of the seminar is compulsory! We will keep records of your attendance. The seminar starts with invited talks, after that the students give self prepared presentations (~30min). At the end of the semester we will have a short multiple choice test (about one question per seminar presentation). Each student has to prepare a written report that is due at the end of the semester (at latest June 30, 2012!) (~15pages).

Title: Trends in the Wireless Industry

Abstract: The cellular phone business has become one of the largest electronics businesses with by far the highest volumes in number of sold devices. This trend will even increase in the coming years making it already now the most desired field of activity for many producers of consumer electronics. We will have a look in what processes and innovations are driving this industry and what we can expect for the future. Moreover we will have a look on new technological features and reflect on the time scales between when they are invented till they are really available in products.
