This course introduces the fundamentals of wireless networks for device- to-device (D2D) communications and presents the new emerging technologies for advances wireless communication systems. The main objectives of this course are (i) basics on wireless technologies, especially in new emerging scenarios such as Beyond5G (B5G), and (ii) the skill to apply this information for service development in Internet of Things (IoT) context. In particular, we will study the WiFi technology, the D2D communications and new emerging technologies such as Massive MIMO, mmWave, optical wireless communications, etc. For different application scenarios (e.g., smart city, smart car, environmental monitoring), we will investigate the main networking issues and techniques, the wireless technologies, as well as the performance results and open issues.

Programme
The course introduces the fundamental aspects of device-to-device (D2D) wireless communications networks and new emerging technologies for advanced wireless communication systems. The main objectives require students to acquire (i) the necessary knowledge on mobile and wireless communication technologies, including Beyond5G (B5G) technologies, and (ii) the ability to apply this knowledge for the development of services for Internet of Things (IoT) type application scenarios. Particular attention is paid to WiFi technology, D2D communications and emerging technologies in B5G scenarios (specifically, Visible Light Communications technology for indoor applications and Free Space Optics for outdoor applications will be studied).Core Documentation
