Advanced Wireless Telecommunications

Program Objectives To provide the theoretical and applied knowledge for engineers in the field of wireless communications. They should have a vision at the system level and conduct designing procedures by highlighting different levels of a wireless system or a wireless communications network, from the physical layer to the application layer. The focus will be particularly on the physical layer, which has to get an adequate level of reliability of the communication link that ensure the required level of application quality of service (QoS) as well as mobility. Due to the special dynamics of the concerned areas, it is aimed at combining all principle aspects regarding the latest technological trends. These objectives can be achieved through: – Increasing knowledge of the electronic and telecommunications bachelors (graduated engineers) in the field of radio communications; – Creating conditions for exchanging both students and teachers between universities and for putting them in touch to the latest concerns in Europe and the world by developing teaching in English; – Attracting major economic players in the industry (operators, equipment development companies, application developers, regulatory bodies and other companies interested in wireless communications and mobility access systems) in preparing students in this field. Based on some informal discussions Orange and FreeScale are interested in the development of this program.
