5G Wireless Standard Design

By Prof. Rohit Budhiraja | IIT Kanpur

Learners enrolled: 12928 | Exam registration: 1159

ABOUT THE COURSE:
The students normally have strong theoretical background in wireless communications systems, but negligible exposure on the use of this theory to design practical wireless systems. And current jobs in the wireless communication industry require design of standards-based practical wireless systems. The objective of this course is to bridge the gap between the theory and practise of 5G wireless communication systems, and consequently also the gap between academia and industry.

To achieve the objective, underlying concepts of 5G transceivers will be taught in the class, and the students will be expected to read the 5G standard documents to understand the transceiver specifications. The students will then design and implement in MATLAB a 5G compliant wireless system. The course will therefore involve a MATLAB coding component, which will also be considered for evaluation. Lastly students will discuss possible evolutionary paths for the 5G standard.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG (4th year)/PG/PhD

PREREQUISITES: Preferably, knowledge of basic courses in digital communications and wireless communications, along with exposure to MATLAB

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Qualcomm, Samsung, MediaTek, Nokia, Huawei, BEL, CDOT, Ericsson, Intel, all other companies in Telecom domain
