• Understand the concepts behind various digital signaling schemes for fading channels
• Be familiar the various multipath mitigation techniques
• Understand the various multiple antenna systems
UNIT I WIRELESS CHANNELS 9
Large scale path loss – Path loss models: Free Space and Two-Ray models -Link Budget design –
Small scale fading- Parameters of mobile multipath channels – Time dispersion
parametersCoherence bandwidth – Doppler spread & Coherence time, Fading due to Multipath time
delay spread – flat fading – frequency selective fading – Fading due to Doppler spread – fast fading
– slow fading.
UNIT II CELLULAR ARCHITECTURE 9
Multiple Access techniques - FDMA, TDMA, CDMA – Capacity calculations–Cellular
conceptFrequency reuse - channel assignment- hand off- interference & system capacity- trunking &
grade of service – Coverage and capacity improvement.
UNIT III DIGITAL SIGNALING FOR FADING CHANNELS 9
Structure of a wireless communication link, Principles of Offset-QPSK, p/4-DQPSK, Minimum Shift
Keying, Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying, Error performance in fading channels, OFDM principle –
