Objectives of the Course

These courses provide a systematic understanding of current changes, fundamental communication reporting, and advanced technical methods emerging in the field of nextgeneration wired communication technologies (especially 5G, 6G, and beyond). The course may cover advanced technical topics such as OFDM, massive MIMO, methods, RIS, NCR, mobility management, NTN, ISAC, AI/ML-based nutrition applications, and intellectual property rights. Students will develop a specific technical framework, conduct current literature and patent analyses, and improve their research, reporting, and academic writing skills.

Course Content

This course provides a concise overview of the next generation of wireless communication technologies shaped by the 6G vision. Topics covered include: OFDM-based multi-carrier modulation, MIMO and Massive MIMO systems, and configuration. Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), Network Controlled 6G's core building blocks are being constructed in sections, including Repeaters (NCR), Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), mobility management, AI and machine learning-based network storage, as well as expanding intellectual property rights and patenting.
