ECE-GY 6023. Introduction to Wireless Communications
This repository is currently a collection of lecture material for ECE-GY 6023 Introduction to Wireless Communications at NYU taught by Prof. Sundeep Rangan. The class is intended to be for MS and PhD students in Electrical Engineering. Right now, only a small amount of material is available, but we are hoping to add more over the course of the semester.
Pre-requisites
The course assumes you are familiar with digital communications at the graduate level. There are many resources for digital communications, including some lecture notes I created for the NYU class.
Additionally, some lecture notes (and problems to be added later) assume you have access to MATLAB along with the communications, phased array and antenna toolboxes.
Lecture Sequence
The tentative plan for the lectures are below. Right now, only a few lectures have full material. We will be hoping to add to this material over the course of the semester. Other topics may be added at the end depending on time.
- Course Introduction
- Unit 1. Basics of Antennas and Free-space Propagation
- Unit 2. Non-LOS Propagation and Link-Budget Analysis
- Unit 3. Multipath Fading
- Unit 4. Diversity
- Unit 5. Capacity of Fading Channels and MAC-Layer Concepts
- Unit 6. Channel Estimation and Equalization
- Unit 7. Multiple Antennas and Beamforming
- Unit 8. Beam Tracking and Directional Estimation
- Unit 9. Introduction to MIMO
