Track Telecommunications EE 2010Program Title Track Telecommunications

ECTS Program 120

Introduction 1 The MSc programme in Telecommunications is provided by the department of Telecommunications. The programme takes 24months and is fully conducted in English. It offers challenging high-level education and research to talented students holding aBSc degree in technology or science.

Telecommunication is an integral part of modern society: mobile telephony, the internet and e-mail have become everyday items.Within a reasonably short period of time, a wide range of new facilities has become available - today it is easy to exchangeinformation by wired and wireless media, for anyone, any time, any place, and the associated distribution of services hasfollowed in its footsteps.

In addition, we have created a complex society with intensive economic activity, cultural diversity, ecological changes and risksand rewards far beyond anything our grandparents could have imagined. The management and government of such a societynecessitate up-to-date information. In parallel to the telecommunications revolution, yet based on the same techniques, newobservation technologies are being developed, be it observation from space, the air or the ground. Radar and remote sensing areused to collect up-to-date information required to prevent collisions between aircraft, forecast weather, and manage crop health.

The MSc programme Telecommunications covers the full spectrum, with extended opportunities for specialisation.

Within the MSc Telecommunications programme, two central themes are distinguished:

1. Exploitation of electromagnetic phenomena: * to transport information, * to collect and extrac data.

2. Networking * to distribute information, * to guarantee Quality-of-Service.

These themes cover the fundamental principles of telecommunications such as:

* electromagnetics: e.m. waves and antennas * transport of information: modulation, coding and detection techniques, * networking: protocols for wireless and fixed networks, * observation technology: radar and remote sensing techniques * aspects of system design, * service-oriented applications: positioning and navigation.

Program Goals The fundamental goal of the MSc programme is to train students to become independently thinking and broadly developedprofessionals by offering thorough fundamental knowledge and by involving them in cutting-edge research programmes in astimulating environment.

Telecommunications is a very vivid field with research institutes closely cooperating with the industry. The laboratories whichconstitute the Telecommunications department are:

* Wireless and Mobile Communications, * Network Architectures and Services, * Observation Technology, * Electromagnet Research.

These laboratories are are related to many partners, be it commercial companies, research laboratories and other universities.This is also materialized in externally sponsored professors and other researchers at the laboratories. For students this impliesthat internships at companies during the two-years programme can easily be arranged.

Program Structure 1 An individual study programme of the track Telecommunications consists of the following parts:1.Compulsory courses worth 20 EC,2.Courses chosen from the list of specialisation courses for the track worth at least 37 EC,3.A free elective space worth at least 18 EC that the student must spend on study units like a research task, an internationalexchange programme, an internship, an interfaculty specialisation profile (art. 4) or courses offered by other universities or bythe Delft University of Technology; in the latter case, preferably courses from another department, or social studies coursesAlternatively, this space may be used for homologation courses. These are courses that students can take to acquire knowledgemissing from their previous bachelor programme.4.A thesis project worth 45 EC.

Expected prior knowledge Telecommunication Networks (ET3505-D1), Programming knowledge

Course Contents The course treats important network concepts and functionalities in the communication protocol suites. Principles of the Internet(data/computer world) and of ATM (the telephony/B-ISDN world) are high-lighted. In brief, routing is superiorly handled inInternet, while ATM excels in traffic management and Quality of Service (QoS) aspects. These concepts and principles providethe foundation for understanding the current advances in networking (like QoS routing). Also other developments (like peer-to-peer and ad hoc networking) are touched upon in order to give an idea of the rapid evolutions in the area of telecommunication.(See blackboard for more details).

Study Goals The learning objective of this course is twofold. First, the student should be able to explain each of the network functionalities ornetwork concepts and should have a clear grasp of the differences. Each of the network concepts can be regarded as a buildingblock to construct the networking as a whole. The second objective is to learn how these different network concepts interact bothin a connnectionless architecture (as IP) and in a connection oriented architecture (as ATM). In that study, a large number ofprotocols appear.

Expected prior knowledge A B.Sc. Programme in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Mathematics

Course Contents Introduction into error-correcting codes; mathematical basics; block codes fundamentals; cyclic codes; co-operating codes; soft-decision decoding; convolutional codes; iterative decoding (turbo codes, LDPC codes); applications.

Study Goals The global goal of this course is to get acquinted with the basics and applications of error correction coding techniques. Suchtechniques are applied in order to protect information against errors which may occur during transmission or storage. Thespecific techniques under consideration in the course are the ones discussed in the lecture notes, which may be updated from yearto year according to recent developments. The emphasis will be on the basic trade-offs between efficiency, reliability, andcomplexity. Unless explicitly indicated, the proofs of the results are not part of the course contents (the interested student mayconsult books from the bibliography).

In the end, the student should be capable of making choices for suitable error correction coding techniques in the context ofinformation transmission and storage applications. The student has to demonstrate to have understood the aforementionedtechniques and trade-offs. This can be done in various ways.* "Broad": The student solves exercises in a closed-book written or oral exam. The level of these exercises is similar to theexamples and exercises provided in the lecture notes.* "Narrow, but in-depth": In consultation with the lecturer, the student chooses a certain topic from the course, which isinvestigated in more detail, by writing either an essay (discussing a paper from the recent literature) or a computer program for ademo explaining the chosen topic (to be used by the lecturer in class room).

Summary We discuss techniques for signal separation and parameter estimation, using arrays of sensors, and applied to wirelesscommunications. We start by deriving a signal processing model of the wireless channel. We then recall useful tools from linearalgebra: QR, SVD, eigenvalue decompositions, projections. This gives us tools to discuss some more elementary receivers: thematched filter, the Wiener filter. Then we discuss important applications: estimation of angles and delays using ESPRIT,adaptive space-time filters, the constant modulus algorithm. Finally, we look at OFDM and CDMA systems and see how theabove techniques can be applied to this.

Expected prior knowledge A basic linear algebra and analysis course (such as WI1705ET and WI1805ET) and an introductory electromagnetics course(such as ET2205-D3 or ET4004).

Course Contents Being able to predict the electric behavior of a complex system is essential in many areas of electrical engineering and relatedfields such as microwave communications, high-speed microelectronics, chip design, radar, remote sensing, environmentalsensing, electromagnetic compatibility, and bioengineering. To this end, Maxwells equations need to be solved, since it is theelectromagnetic field that determines this electric behavior. Practical systems are often so complex that only numerical solutiontechniques can be applied to obtain approximate solutions of Maxwells equations. In this part of the computationalelectromagnetics series we discuss the essentials of a very popular numerical solution method, called the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD method), which is used worldwide in industry and academia to solve all kinds of electromagnetic wavefield problems. Computing the electromagnetic field scattered by an airplane, simulating fields in integrated circuits, fieldcomputations in the human body, and simulating a ground penetrating radar are just a few examples. In particular, what wediscuss in this course is the spatial discretization of Maxwells equations using a so-called nonuniform Yee grid, how to includepiecewise constant media, the leap-frog time discretization scheme, stability of FDTD, and we also discuss how to simulateelectromagnetic wave propagation in domains of infinite spatial extent (using perfectly matched layers). Moreover, certainsymmetry properties of Maxwells equations and their relation to energy conservation and reciprocity are discussed as well.

Study Goals After a successful completion of this course, the student understands the basic principles of the finite-difference time-domainmethod and knows how to solve practical electromagnetic wave field problems using this method.

These are important topics that are frequently encountered in professional engineering, and majorapplications such as digital communication, array processing, and multimedia (speech and audio processing, image processing).The course provides a framework that connects signal models to filter structures, formulates filter design as an optimizationproblem, solved in turn via linear algebra techniques applied to structured matrices. The connections between these topics arestrong, and provide insights that can also be used in other disciplines.

Course Contents The course treats: background in DSP, linear algebra and random processes; linear prediction, parametric methods such as Padeapproximation, Prony's method and ARMA models; the Yule-Walker equations, the Levinson algorithm, the Schur algorithm;Wiener and Kalman filtering; spectrum estimation (nonparametric and parametric), frequency estimation (Pisarenko, MUSICalgorithm); adaptive filtering (LMS, RLS).

Study Goals You will have acquired the fundamentals of advanced discrete-time signal processing, both from deterministic and stochasticsignal processing viewpoints. Specifically, you can model discrete-time signals in various ways (pole-zero, all-pole, FIR,ARMA), you can estimate power spectra and frequency components in various ways (direct and via parametric models), you candesign optimum filters (Wiener and Kalman), and you have a basic understanding of adaptive filtering (LMS, RLS algorithm).You can implement and test these algorithms in Matlab, and can indicate examples where these algorithms are used inengineering practice.

Summary EM simulation methods offer powerful tools for solving complex electromagnetic coupling, radiation and scattering problems, asencountered in the field of telecommunications, microwave and radar engineering. Within the course on examples of differenttypical problems like transmission lines, microwave filters, antennas and Radar Cross Section of targets all basics physicalphenomena of EM wave interaction with objects will be analyzed and characterized. Analysis will be done in frequency as wellas in time domain. Advantages and disadvantages of time-domain and frequency domain methods will be compared. The coursewill finish with overview of basic recommendation regarding choice of appropriate computational method for different problemsof wireless, microwave and radar engineering. At the supervised laboratory work commercial simulation tools are used forsimulation of five practical problems of wireless, microwave and radar engineering.

Course Contents The course contents consists of three major parts. In Part 1 the applied electormagnetics as a subject will be introduced, scope ofthe problems and typical approaches will be considered. Role of applied electromagnetics in wireless, microwave and radarengineering will be discussed. A general approach to solution of applied electromagnetics problems is presented and discussed indetails.

Part 2 of the course is dedicated to frequency domain simulations. Based on a simple problem of electromagnetic waveinteraction with a thin wire all basics radiation phenomena will be analyzed and characterized. The problem will be treated viathe method of moments. All essential features of the method of moments will be discussed in details. Simulation results will beverified against experimental ones. Following this, students will be introduced to the commercial program FEKO. Variousstructures will be modelled using FEKO, including simple 2D structures (microstrip filters and patch antennas) as well as morecomplex 3D scatteres (sphere). Specific issues for EM wave interaction with 2D and 3D structures will de discussed. Finally,computational limitations of frequency domain methods will be discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of time-domain andfrequency domain methods will be compared.

In part 3 wideband (time domain) simulations will be discussed. On the example of one-dimensional transmission line basic timedomain phenomena (such as dispersion, matching, stability) will be analyzed. Time-domain simulation will be performed usingFinite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The aim of this is to develop a basic appreciation of the FDTD method, as wellas reinforce concepts of transforming between time and frequency domains. The use of time-domain simulation for ultra-wideband systems will be emphasized throughout. Finally, computational aspects of FDTD such as numerical dispersion,absorbing boundary conditions and numerical complexity will be discussed.

The course will finish with overview of basic recommendation regarding choice of appropriate computational method fordifferent problems of wireless, microwave and radar engineering.

The lectures are supported by supervised laboratory work at which commercial simulation tools are used for simulation of fivepractical problems of wireless, microwave and radar engineering.

Study Goals The aim of this course is twofold: to introduce M.Sc. students to electromagnetic problems encountered in microwave,telecommunications and radar engineering; and to teach students how to use available EM simulators for the analysis and designof microwave circuits, wireless and radar systems. Students will learn basic properties and limitations of different computationalmethods realized in different EM simulators.

Education Method The course consists of lectures and computer simulations on commercial simulators. Additionally, students will have to completeassignments (home tasks and final assignment) for this 4 credit point course. The final assignment is a case study on appliedproblem from microwave, wireless or radar engineering (an essay plus a presentation at the closing symposium).

Expected prior knowledge A basic linear algebra and analysis course (such as WI1705ET and WI1805ET) and an introductory electromagnetics course(such as ET2205-D3 or ET4004).

Course Contents Being able to predict the electric behavior of a complex system is essential in many areas of electrical engineering and relatedfields such as microwave communications, high-speed microelectronics, chip design, radar, remote sensing, environmentalsensing, electromagnetic compatibility, and bioengineering. To this end, Maxwells equations need to be solved, since it is theelectromagnetic field that determines this electric behavior. Practical systems are often so complex that only numerical solutiontechniques can be applied to obtain approximate solutions of Maxwells equations. In this part of the computationalelectromagnetics series we discuss the essentials of a very popular numerical solution method, called the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD method), which is used worldwide in industry and academia to solve all kinds of electromagnetic wavefield problems. Computing the electromagnetic field scattered by an airplane, simulating fields in integrated circuits, fieldcomputations in the human body, and simulating a ground penetrating radar are just a few examples. In particular, what wediscuss in this course is the spatial discretization of Maxwells equations using a so-called nonuniform Yee grid, how to includepiecewise constant media, the leap-frog time discretization scheme, stability of FDTD, and we also discuss how to simulateelectromagnetic wave propagation in domains of infinite spatial extent (using perfectly matched layers). Moreover, certainsymmetry properties of Maxwells equations and their relation to energy conservation and reciprocity are discussed as well.

Study Goals After a successful completion of this course, the student understands the basic principles of the finite-difference time-domainmethod and knows how to solve practical electromagnetic wave field problems using this method.

Course Contents A next generation of mobile services awaits us that will be intelligent, ubiquitous and adaptive to the userâs preferences andcontext. The introduction of the i-Phone, Googleâs attempts to conquer the mobile market, and the increasing data rates ininfrastructures create many new opportunities. It also raises a large range of issues that need to be taken into account whendesigning these services. Besides technology, other business model issues are important like governance of relations betweennetwork operators and content providers.This course sketches the dynamic context in which mobile services are being designed and engineered today, and teachesstudents how to design viable services and underlying business models. We start by sketching a future vision on how mobileservices can truly add value by being personalized, context-aware and group-centric. Next, we provide basic theoretical buildingblocks on service and business model design. After that, we provide a broad, multidisciplinary description of the mobile domain,including typical technological, organizational and financial issues and trade-offs. Various guest lectures will be given byleading professionals at operators and service providers.During the course, students are challenged to apply these insights by designing an innovative mobile service concept including amock-up and underlying business model. We focus on services that can be offered by the TU Delft to students. The best mock-up will be awarded with an iPod Touch for each group member.

Study Goals â¢describe and analyze typical mobile servicesâ¢describe supporting technologies on infrastructure, platform, middleware and application layerâ¢describe roles, actors and interdependencies in mobile service domainâ¢describe financial streams and revenue models typical for mobile service domainâ¢apply theory on business models and value networks to the domain of mobile service innovationâ¢design a value-adding mobile service conceptâ¢illustrate a value-adding mobile service concept by building a mock-upâ¢design a business model for a specific wireless network service, taking into account organizational, technological and financialdesign issues

Education Method Lectures by teachers and guestsStudents may be asked to give short presentations during the lectures on how the course material relates to their service design.

Assessment Mock-up (25%, grade should be 6.0 or higher)Work in groups of 2-3 students from different faculties. Design a viable and sustainable business model for a specific mobileservice offering. The service should have students of the TU Delft as the target group. A clear and concise description of thevalue adding elements of the service concept should be sent for approval to the instructors before the second lecture. Next, thestudents should develop a mock-up of a service that could run on the iPhone, Android or other service platforms. Students shouldpresent this mock-up in one of the final lectures, during which it will be graded by a jury consisting of lecturers and experts. Thegrade for the mock-up accounts for 25% of the final grade for the course, and should be 6.0 or higher to pass the course. The bestmock-up will be awarded with an iPod Touch for each group member.

Business model design (75%)Next, students should write a paper that designs the business model underlying the service concept that explicates design choicesregarding service, technology, organizational and financial domain. The grade for this paper will account for 75% of the finalgrade for the course. While doing so, students should contrast three different potential business models: a device-centric businessmodel which places all intelligence of the service within the userâs device, an operator-centric business model which places allintelligence within the operator network, and a service provider centric business model which places all intelligence at the thirdparty service provider. The paper (4500-5500 words) should contain a discussion of how the choice between these three genericoptions influences the business model issues, like governance between organizations.The design choices should be convincingly and clearly supported by arguments, and trade-offs and dependencies betweenchoices should be explicated. The essay should show that students are aware of the topics addressed in the course and able toapply them in a thoughtful manner to the chosen service concept. Students should go beyond the course contents and find ownliterature specific for their topic. Literature references should be done properly: Following generic university regulations, pleasenote that essays will be evaluated upon fraud using specialized computer tool.Grading is based on the quality of arguments in the paper, and the application of course contents. In addition, students willconduct a presentation to be evaluated by a board containing both teachers of the course and external experts from companies.Students may be asked to give short presentations during the lectures on how the course material relates to their service design.

Required for ICT domain specialization ICT-infrastructures and -services

Summary Due to technical innovations the range of options for innovation in large ICT-infrastructures has increased enormously. Also thenumber of ICT-infrastructures has increased, parallel ICT-networks are now available to the masses. This poses questions forchoices to be made during the design and implementation phase of these infrastructures. Which are the aspects that play a role inthe transition of technology into an infrastructure?

In this module students are provided with theoretical backgrounds in the (r)evolution of large ICT-infrastructures. They arechallenged to translate theoretical notions into an analytical framework which will be used to study a case in innovation in ICT-infrastructures.

The final assignment is to write a paper in which the analytical framework is once more tested by means of a case study of aninnovation in ICT-infrastructures.The paper will be peer reviewed by team members and will be graded by the coaches according to scientific guidelines. The finalproduct can be composed of a communal part, produced by the entire team and an individual part.

Course Contents In the first part of the module(week 1-7) the theoretical concepts that accompany �evolutions in ICT-infrastructures will beexplored by means of interactive class meetings (students must prepare material before attending) and online discussions. Guestlectures will be organised for a linking pin between theory and practice. At the end of the first period the students will havedeveloped an initial analytical framework on the basis of the theoretical notions for the analysis of an empirical case study. Alsoa taxonomy of ICT infrastructures will be constructed.

In the second period the students work towards writing a paper in which they apply the analytical framework to a transitionmoment in ICT-infrastructures or in which they test (parts of) the framework.

Examples are the introduction of digital television standards, the launch of Galileo, a new Internet Protocol (IPv6), RFID, peer-topeer networks or Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Personal Area Networks (PAN) etc. The choice of a case study is up to the student.Some attention will also be paid to failures in the introduction of (innovation in) infrastructures, such as the Iridium case.

Coaching sessions on the final product will be organised. We also organise a 'come back' meeting to look back and forward.

Study Goals To understand the complexity of innovation and evolution in large ICT-infrastructures from a theoretical point of view. Todesign an analytical framework for the analysis of cases in which the evolution in ICT-infrastructures is the locus in order toapply theoretical concepts to empirical case studies. To be able to report on the results of the analysis of the case study based onan analytical framework in a scientific manner.
