Programme

The course introduces the main features of wireless telecommunication systems, both in the RF (Radio Frequency) and OWC (Optical Wireless Communications) domain. Starting from networking theory, the most advances methodologies adopted for the analysis and assessment of wireless telecommunication systems will be investigated by means of simulation tools. Special interest will be given to WLAN systems and ad-hoc networks (MANET and VANET), as well as to sensor networks and UAV systems. About OWC, this course will focus on IEEE 802.15.7 standard dedicated to wireless communications in the visible light spectrum range (Visible Light Communications) for indoor applications, as well as channel models of Free Space Optics for outdoor applications.
