Introduction to Wireless Systems: Brief History of Wireless Communication. Transmission Fundamentals: Time Domain, Frequency Domain, Bandwidth vs. Data Rate – Channel Capacity – Transmission Media –Protocols and TCP/IP Suite: TCP/IP Protocol Architecture – OSI Model. Antennas and Wave Propagation: Antennas, Propagation Modes, Fading in the Mobile Environment – Free Space Propagation.
Modulation Techniques: Signal Encoding, Digital Data – Analog Signal, Analog Data -Analog Signal, Analog Data – Digital Signal, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA).
Wireless Networking: Satellite Communications- Capacity Allocation – Frequency Division, Time Division, WiMax and IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access Standards. Wireless LAN Technology: Infrared, Spread Spectrum, Narrowband LANS- Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.11 Standard, Bluetooth and IEEE 802.15 Standard.
Wireless Routing Protocols: Infrastructure, AdHoc Networks, ProActivevs.ReActive,Dynamic Source Routing(DSR), AdHoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV),Temporarily Ordered Routing Algorithm(TORA), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector(DSDV ). Case Study using NS2 / NS3.
