CSCE 990: Next-Generation Wireless Networks

Fall 2021.

This graduate-level seminar course is a research seminar in next-generation wireless networks. The course covers a series of topics stemming from active and emerging research areas i n 5G and 6G wireless communication systems and networks. The course is designed for students who are conducting research related to wireless systems and networks or interested in learning the cutting-edge solutions in wireless communications in detail. From this course, students will have a thorough understanding of the evolution of wireless communication networks, including key driving factors, enabling techniques and their basics, and performance evaluation methods. The topics of this course include an overview of several key enabling techniques with a focus on their applicable scenarios, and technical discussions on the fundamentals of these techniques. Specifically, main topics of interest include massive multiple-input­–multiple-output (MIMO) communications, millimeter wave and terahertz communications, reconfigurable intelligent surface technique, machine learning in wireless communications, and satellite communication network with CubeSats.
