Mobile communications are a driver of innovation and growth for both industry and society. The lecture examines how efficient and reliable connections can be realized through digital mobile communications and optimized for different requirements (high data rate, low latency, high reliability, millions of IoT devices). Students will be able to evaluate the performance of various technologies using analytical methods, measurements, and simulations. The focus is on the evolution from 5G to 6G mobile communication systems.

This module requires basic knowledge about communication networks. Thin encompasses infrastructure, protocols and technologies for data transfer between network nodes. This knowledge can be refreshed with help of literature, like "Computer Networks" from Tanenbaum. 

Students know and understand the essential concepts and procedures of digital mobile communication systems. They can describe the key characteristics of various approaches and evaluate their performance using analytical methods, measurements, and simulations.

Students possess detailed knowledge of digital mobile communication systems and are familiar with various methods for performance evaluation.

Students have a deep understanding of the various technologies and methods for implementing digital mobile communication systems. They can analyze the performance of these systems for different tasks and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different options.

Students master the techniques of digital mobile communication systems and can effectively apply them to solve similar new tasks.

Students can apply the learned techniques to communication tasks in mobile distributed systems. They are proficient in the technical vocabulary and can independently acquire new literature.

Students can present techniques and systems of digital mobile communication systems using technical vocabulary. They can independently understand the content of English-language publications and convey it to their peers and other professionals.

Students reflect on future challenges for the deployment of digital mobile communication systems under various technical, economic, and ecological conditions.
