Ph.D. Level Courses
Fundamentals of Massive MIMO
Objective
This course will expose the basic operational principles and techniques for analysis of Massive MIMO, the scalable 5G technology.
Instructor
Prof. Erik G. Larsson, ISY/Communication Systems.
Registration
The course is open to students enrolled in a Ph.D. program at Linköping University/ISY. External participants upon request. If you have interest to participate, please register by sending an email to erik.g.larsson@liu.se, by December 18, 2015.
Prerequisites
Good knowledge of wireless and digital communications, information theory, linear algebra, matrix analysis, and probability theory. General mathematical maturity.
