The aim of the course is to adopt terminology and basic knowledge in the field of wireless telecommunications and computer networks. Students should master the basics of communication protocols that realize communication between devices and infrastructure in wireless communication networks. The student should understand the basic principles and differences between wireless local area networks and mobile communication networks.

Students will adopt the basic concepts of functioning of wireless local and mobile communication networks. Student will understand the architecture and protocols in mobile communications networks such as fourth and fifth generation mobile networks. Student will also understand the architecture and protocols of wireless local area network WLANs and the basic differences between wireless local area networks and mobile networks of mobile operators.
