Restricted to ENTS majors. All non-majors will need to obtain permission of department. Credit will be granted for only one of the following: ENTS653 or ENTS689A. Formerly ENTS689A. Engineering issues associated with designing and deploying a PCS cellular wireless communications system in the current world environment will be examined. It will focus on implementation issues such as the impact of real world concerns on the deployment strategy and the use of good engineering paractice to overcome obstacles. Students will create and modify mock deployments using professional tools for cell planning and interference analysis. Students will also be exposed to drive testing tools and concepts for migration to future technologies(3G and beyond).
