Advanced Wireless Networks provides students with the working principles of current wireless networks of industrial importance. This subject deals with reality. It is used to move students closer to industrial practice of network design, deployment, tests and performance evaluation. Knowledge and skills acquired in this subject enable students to design, model, analyse, plan and deploy wireless networks, including current and emerging cellular networks. This equips students with the tools and confidence required to work in the telecommunications sector as a network designer, analyst, planner, network architect or modelling engineer, or in technology and customer support and infrastructure.

In this subject students will start to gain experience with the sort of tools and methodologies used in the telecommunications workplace. They will begin to remove those obstacles that initially limit impact and performance for young and new engineers. By using and applying some of the tools and methods described in the class under laboratory settings, they will gain confidence in their own abilities. Modern industrial culture requires the ability to function well in teams, to lead and to contribute to teamwork through suggestions, socialising in the workplace and listening to the opinions and suggestions of peers.

Assessment: Project (50 per cent), final exam (50 per cent).
