TLTE.3050 Radio Resource Management (RRM)

Lecturer: Mohammed Elmusrati

Regarding to the exponential increase in the personal and public wireless communication networks there must be a very careful and smart utilization of the available resources. The available resources (such as Bandwidth) are usually limited and very expensive. Bad RRM means customers’ dissatisfactions, more expensive services, less system capacity, slow and high congested networks, etc. The optimum radio resource management (RRM) is the key point for successful multi-user communication systems.

The RRM course is divided into three main parts as shown next:

· Part One: Introduction and Preliminary Material

o Introduction to RRM

o CDMA Systems

o OFDM and OFDMA

o Mobile Channels

o Performance Measure

· Part Two: Theoretical Analysis of RRM

o Power Control

o Joint Power and Rate Control in CDMA

o Admission and Load Control

o Beamforming and MIMO

o Packet Scheduling

· Part Three: Practical Implementation of RRM

o Power Control in UMTS

o Handover in UMTS

o Admission and Load Control in UMTS

o Packet Scheduling in UMTS

o HSDPA

o Some Future Systems

To Pass the Course: Homework + Exam.
