  25. Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: xxx
  26. What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? xxx
  27. Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? xxx
  28. What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) xxx
  29. Objectives: Expose the students to the state-of-the-art wireless communication systems and standards. Provide knowledge required for the design, analysis, modeling, and simulation of the network architectures and protocols for wireless systems
  30. Learning Outcomes: Does "wireless" mean "less wires" or "no wires"?What are 1G, 2G, and 3G wireless systems? Are there any differences between wireless, mobile and cellular systems?What are the air interface protocols?Do you know the evolution of cdmaOne to cdma2000 and w-cdma and various other major mobile radio systems such as IS-54/IS-136/TDMA and GSM?What are the current standards and status of wireless networks (voice/data)?Why is mobility management one of the most important issues?What is handover and what are the strategies for mobility management for future generation networks? The students in this course will understand these topics and will be able to answer these and many other questions on the subject of wireless networks.
