227-0121-00LKommunikationssysteme Information W6 KP4GA. Wittneben
KurzbeschreibungInformationstheorie, Signalraumanalyse, Basisbandübertragung, Passbandübertragung, Systembeispiel und Kanal, Sicherungsschicht, MAC, Beispiele Layer 2, Layer 3, Internet
LernzielZiel der Vorlesung ist die Einführung der wichtigsten Konzepte und Verfahren, die in modernen digitalen Kommunikationssystemen Anwendung finden, sowie eine Übersicht über bestehende und zukünftige Systeme.
InhaltEs werden die untersten drei Schichten des OSI-Referenzmodells behandelt: die Bitübertragungsschicht, die Sicherungsschicht mit dem Zugriff auf das Übertragungsmedium und die Vermittlung. Die wichtigsten Begriffe der Informationstheorie werden eingeführt. Anschliessend konzentrieren sich die Betrachtungen auf die Verfahren der Punkt-zu-Punkt-Übertragung, welche sich mittels der Signalraumdarstellung elegant und kohärent behandeln lassen. Den Methoden der Fehlererkennung und –korrektur, sowie Protokollen für die erneute Übermittlung gestörter Daten wird Rechnung getragen. Auch der Vielfachzugriff bei geteiltem Übertragungsmedium wird diskutiert. Den Abschluss bilden Algorithmen für das Routing in Kommunikationsnetzen und der Flusssteuerung.

Die Anwendung der grundlegenden Verfahren wird ausführlich anhand von bestehenden und zukünftigen drahtlosen und drahtgebundenen Systemen erläutert.

227-0101-00LDiscrete-Time and Statistical Signal ProcessingW6 KP4GH.‑A. Loeliger
KurzbeschreibungThe course introduces some fundamental topics of digital signal processing with a bias towards applications in communications: discrete-time linear filters, inverse filters and equalization, DFT, discrete-time stochastic processes, elements of detection theory and estimation theory, LMMSE estimation and LMMSE filtering, LMS algorithm, Viterbi algorithm.
LernzielThe course introduces some fundamental topics of digital signal processing with a bias towards applications in communications. The two main themes are linearity and probability. In the first part of the course, we deepen our understanding of discrete-time linear filters. In the second part of the course, we review the basics of probability theory and discrete-time stochastic processes. We then discuss some basic concepts of detection theory and estimation theory, as well as some practical methods including LMMSE estimation and LMMSE filtering, the LMS algorithm, and the Viterbi algorithm. A recurrent theme throughout the course is the stable and robust "inversion" of a linear filter.
Inhalt1. Discrete-time linear systems and filters:
state-space realizations, z-transform and spectrum,
decimation and interpolation, digital filter design,
stable realizations and robust inversion.

2. The discrete Fourier transform and its use for digital filtering.

3. The statistical perspective:
probability, random variables, discrete-time stochastic processes;
detection and estimation: MAP, ML, Bayesian MMSE, LMMSE;
Wiener filter, LMS adaptive filter, Viterbi algorithm.

E-6 KP2V + 2UA. Wittneben
KurzbeschreibungWireless access systems support locally constrained wireless connectivity and mobile access to a backbone network (typically the Internet). In this course the student develops a comprehensive understanding of existing and upcoming wireless access technologies (including WiFi, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, VANET) and related Physical Layer and Medium Access Control Layer problems and opportunities.
LernzielThe course consists of two tracks. The track "Technology&Systems" is structured as regular lecture. In the introduction we will discuss the challenges and potential of pervasive wireless access and study some fundamentals of short/medium range wireless communications. The main body of this track is devoted to existing and upcoming systems. A comprehensive survey of Ultrawide band (UWB) as the promising transmission technology for pervasive wireless access completes this track. In the track "Simulate&Practice" we form student teams that implement and analyze functional blocks of the physical layer of various advanced wireless access systems based on MATLAB simulations. The track includes combination tasks where different teams combine their functional blocks (e.g. transmitter, receiver) in order to simulate the complete physical layer.
