Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. The students will have a research topic related to some up-to-date area of radio network planning and optimization. The students are required to go through literature and publications related to the topic, and write a high quality report in conference paper format. The course will be graded based on the report. Optionally, students will also have a 1 or 2 hour presentation of the topic. Students have to either follow the course lectures, or attend an exam related to the current implementation's lectures/topics. The target is, that students will have deep understanding on the own research topic and wide understanding on the other students' research topics.      
2. Students will learn to find fundamental information on the basic books related to RNP, and they will learn to find latest information from the publication databases. The gathered information will then be compiled in the form of report and students learn to write scientific text based on literature rewiev. In the end of the report, students will form conclusions on the findings, and can provide own opinions on the subject under study.     
3. Annually changing topic. Topic to be specified separately for each implementation.
