Core content
- Different IoT requirements and use cases from wireless communications perspective
* massive MTC
* mission critical MTC
* ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) and MTC - Enabling Wireless Communications methods and systems and their key features, characteristics, pros and cons, including:
* low-range local area techniques (Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-wave, etc) for IoT systems
* wider-range techniques (e.g. IEEE 802.11ah) for IoT systems
* wide-area techniques at unlicensed/ISM bands (LoRa, SigFox) for IoT systems
* wide-area cellular network based techniques available today, especially extended coverage GSM (EC-GSM), 3GPP LTE-M, 3GPP Narrowband IoT
* wide-area cellular network based techniques currently in the R&D phase, especially 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) and massive MTC and mission-critical MTC solutions - Ultra reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) concept
- Synchronization, modulation, and multiple access issues in IoT
- Practical examples of short-, medium-, and long-range IoT applications
- Link budget computations in IoT

Studies that include this course
Completion option 1
Active participation in the lectures, small homeworks via Moodle or via presential participation or each lecture/topic area, and a small final project in (e.g., literature study and short video presentation on a chosen topic). For doctoral students, the scope of project is more advanced compared to MSc students and a short presentation together with a 3-4 page report following IEEE publications guidelines is required.
