Foundations of Advanced Wireless Communication at Coursera Course details
- This course focuses on advanced, yet essential concepts, techniques, and algorithms needed for understanding and designing modern wireless communication systems
- You will begin this course by exploring the basics of wireless channels, followed by the need for multi-antenna systems
- You will further learn about the two seminal multi-antenna technologies: MIMO and massive MIMO
- The first is the basis for 4G systems, and the second is the same for 5G systems
- You will also learn the multiple access techniques like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and the basics of mmWave communications
