Introduction

College of Signals, a Constituent College of National University of Science and Technology is organizing a four weeks course on “Wireless Channel Modeling and Simulation” from 30th July to 24th August 2008.This course in being organized in collaboration with University of Surrey UK. "Dr. Muhammad Ali Imran", MSc and Phd from Imperial College of London, UK will conduct this course.

 

Motivation:

The main aim of the course is to develop modeling/simulation skills of the participants. This aim will be achieved by providing the requisite training through lectures, supplemented by well-designed assignments and exercises. The objective is to incite the research potential of the participants. Potential benefit of this exercise is that using these skills, the participants should be able to test their novel ideas to improve the main techniques of communication over the wireless channels, in order to produce some original publishable work and also to expedite the research and development projects. This course will also update the knowledge of the telecomm professionals working in industry.

Intended Audience:

  • Representatives from Pakistan Telecom Industry

  • Undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in research in the area of Telecommunication /Electrical engineering and wireless technologies.

  • Teachers and researchers

 

Speakers Profile:

 

Dr. Muhammad Ali Imran got his PhD degree is in Electrical Engineering from Imperial Colelge of London.Within the broad field of Electrical Engineering, he specialized in wireless communication systems. His PhD thesis was “Resource allocation for cooperative broadcasting in wireless communication networks” and it proposes some practical approaches for interference management and channel coding for reliable communication on interference limited links. The proposals were analyzed and compared with the fundamental information theoretic limits suggested for such systems. The main topic of his current research is “fundamental capacity limits for wireless cellular networks”. The objective of this work is to mathematically derive the fundamental capacity limits of wireless cellular systems and compare the performance of current generation of cellular systems against these fundamental limits.
