2. ST propagation
3. ST channel and signal models
4. Capacity of ST channels
5. Spatial diversity
6. ST coding without channel knowledge at transmitter
7. ST receivers
8. Exploiting channel knowledge at transmitter
9. ST OFDM and spread spectrum modulation
10. MIMO-multiuser
11. ST co-channel interference mitigation
12. Performance limits and tradeoffs in MIMO channels

 Prerequisites:

EECE 577 Information and Coding Theory
EECE 645 Statistical Signal Processing
Computer programming skills (MATLAB or C)

Contact the instructor for questions about prerequisites.

 Course Requirements:

1. Midterm exam (Th. 4/24  4/28, 7:30pm-12 pm, LG 102, Lec. 1-15)	20 %
2. Final exam (Th.  6/19 M 6/23, 7:30pm-12pm, LG 102, Lec. 1-30)	20 %
3. Homework (Approximately 5-7 homeworks will be given.)	20 %
4. Project	30 %
5. Participation	10 %
	100 %

 Grading Policies for Homework 

1. Homework will be assigned approximately every week.
2. I allow collaboration on the homework. However, students must submit his/her own solutions and provide the names of collaborators.
3. Re-grade requests must be filed in writing within one week after the graded homework has been returned to students.
4. Only 30% of assigned problems per each assignment will be graded.
5. Each sub-problem will be graded according to the following scale: 100%, 60%, 20%, and 0%.

 Grading Policies for Exam 

1. Students may take exams earlier than the original schedule if he/she requests at least one week earlier.
2. Excused class absence on an exam day may lead to a make-up exam for the absentee.
3. Re-grade requests must be filed in writing within one week after the graded exam has been returned to students.
4. Each sub-problem will be graded according to the following scale: 100%, 60%, 20%, and 0%.

 Policy on Academic Dishonesty

If the instructor suspects academic dishonesty, the instructor will notify the student(s) and follow the procedure to report to the Graduate School without any exception. Students have the responsibility to be knowledgeable about the consequences of dishonesty.
