To give the students a detailed knowledge of modern mobile
communication systems. This course builds on the knowledge acquired
in 34330 “Introduction to mobile communication”, but the focus here
is on the backhaul network, i.e., the network connecting the base
stations to the core network and the Internet. Also more advanced
topics in the radio access network will be covered.
Throughout the course the student will work on a large case
involving design of a mobile backhaul network. The results must be
presented to the class as well as be documented in a final,
research style paper. In addition the student must prepare a short
lecture (45 minutes) on a given advanced topic within mobile
communication.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Evaluate requirements to mobile backhaul networks and assess
the backhaul’s impact on coverage and capacity
Define design criteria for mobile network deployments
Estimate load and capacity requirements in mobile networks and
based upon this carry out dimensioning of mobile backhaul
Define requirements to synchronization, resilience and
security
Explain how protocols, capacity and technologies impact mobile
applications
Design backhaul for special applications, e.g., small-cells,
relays, inter cell coordination and Cloud-RAN
Comprehend advanced literature in the field of mobile
communication
Plan and carry out a small research type project and analyze
and present the achieved results by an oral
presentation.
Kursusindhold:
Mobile backhaul networks:
Topologies, wire-less and wire-line backhaul technologies,
capacity, load and dimensioning, fronthaul and backhaul, mobile
access and aggregation networks, synchronization, resilience,

Bemærkninger:
Teaching in the 13 week period takes place together with course
34343 Mobile Backhaul Networks.
Mulighed for GRØN DYST deltagelse:
Dette kursus giver den studerende en mulighed for at lave eller
forberede et projekt som kan deltage i DTUs studenterkonference om
bæredygtighed, klimateknologi og miljø (GRØN DYST). Se mere på
