Learning Outcomes
| The students will understand fundamentals as well as advanced concepts in array processing and MIMO Systems. They will be able to learn the recent developments such as opportunistic and multi-user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication techniques. These techniques have brought completely new perspectives on how to communicate over wireless channels. They will be able to quantify the wireless channel capacities and degrees of freedom regions for different channel models, such as multiple access channels, broadcast channels, interference channels, etc. Finally, they will be able to design and analysis the advanced cellular systems, for example interim of spectral and energy efficiencies, coverage, etc.
