Due to the increasing demand for personal, mobile and indoor communication
systems in recent years, wireless communication has become a very hot topic
within the filed of communication. Wireless communication is projected to
become a multi-billion-dollar industry in the next few years. Two generations
of systems already exist. The third generation is under research and expected
to be standardized very shortly. The topic is of interest to a few of the
faculty at the Center for Communications and Signal Processing Research.
Thus is is natural to have this course as part of the graduate course curricula.
