In winter term 2013/2014, the Communications Engineering Lab (FG Kommunikationstechnik) offers the lecture
Simulation and Modeling Techniques and Tools for Mobile Communication Systems
Dr.-Ing. Peter Rost/Dr. rer. nat. Andreas Mäder
After receiving feedback from participants of the lecture, we decided to move the lecture to the next summer semester. We will further issue a questionnaire in order to determine whether we will organize this lecture on a bi-weekly basis or as one block at the begin or end of the semester. If you want to provide direct feedback about your preferred dates or if you have feedback about particular topics that you would like to see addressed in the lecture, please contact directly the lecturers or Prof. Anja Klein.

Additional Information:
This lecture will take place bi-weekly with 2 x 90 min each lecture. In addition, this lecture will offer overall five home assignments which will be graded as “passed” or “not passed.” If at least four out of five home assignments are passed, the final grade may be improved by at most 0,4. All material for lectures and home assignments will be provided electronically as PDF at least one week before the respective lecture or home assignment.
