Heterogeneous Mobile Networks
given by Martin Taranetz
Course No. 389.191
In this course, we will learn about modeling, evaluation and technical aspects of heterogeneous mobile networks. Special focus is laid on LTE-Advanced and the fifth generation of mobile networks (5G). We will start with an introduction to HetNets and femtocells in particular. Then, the major part of the lecture elaborates on modeling and simulation of such networks. We will apply techniques from stochastic geometry and random shape theory, and obtain surprisingly tractable results. In a hands-on lectures on Mathematica, we will confirm our theoretical findings. The lecture is completed by adressing the advanced topics of dynamic interference management, handover and mobility, self organizing networks, cognitive radio and 5G.
