(3 units). Overview of wireless communications. Cellular system principles. Wireless propagation channel: average path loss, multipath and shadowing; large and small scale fading; delay and Doppler spread. Digital modulation techniques. Performance in fading channels. Spectral and power efficiency; fundamental limits. Adaptive modulation and coding. Diversity combining and MIMO systems. Multiple access methods: fixed (FDMA, TDMA, CDMA) and random (ALOHA, CSMA). Modern industrial standards (cellular and WiFi). Course Component: Laboratory, Lecture, Tutorial Prerequisite: ELG 3175. The courses ELG 4179, CEG 4186 cannot be combined for units.
