Advanced topics of wireless/mobile communication such as equalization, receive/ transmit diversity, MIMO, space time signal processing etc are then introduced. Basics of multicarrier modulation and OFDM are also covered.The course also discusses Pre-requisites: different existing cellular systems including 3G. Brief outline of various topics covered in this course is 1. Digital Communication. given below.
