Mobile Broadband Communications

Third generation wireless and beyond (B3G) systems have generated ever-increasing interest over the last few years. This has been fuelled by a demand for higher frequency utilisation and a large number of users requiring simultaneous multi-dimensional high data rate access for applications of wireless Internet, mobile TV, location based services, presence, etc. B3G mobile will use new network architectures to deliver these innovative services in a more generic structure to customers. Large bandwidth, guaranteed quality of service, system convergence, and ease of deployment are all challenges that must be met by B3G mobile.

You will be provided with the necessary knowledge to successfully meet the challenges of WiMAX and Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless broadband communication systems, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), MIMO systems, space-time coding, software defined radio and re-configurable analogue and digital RF systems. You will have an opportunity to work in our recently established wireless broadband laboratory, which is equipped with the latest WiMAX equipment donated by APERTO Networks (USA) and Rinicom Ltd (UK), and work closely with industry in their projects.
