Master of Science in Intelligent Communication Systems

The MSc Intelligent Communication Systems aims at providing the theoretical background and the applied know-how for engineers in Mobile Communication Systems.

The goal is to tackle the problems from a system viewpoint, taking a vertical cut and following a cross-layer design approach. This corresponds to both the most recent trend in research and to the most desired professional profile for engineers in this field. In fact, it is now well-recognized that problems related to physical layer transmission techniques (RF design, signal processing algorithms, channel coding, and modulation), and upper layer protocols (link layer control, multiple-access, routing), were traditionally treated in a separate fashion in wired networks, must be treated jointly in mobile communication networks.
