Course description and aims

This course focuses on stochastic processes and its applications. In this year, topics include the theory of point processes and its application to modeling and analysis of cellular wireless networks.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to understand the theory of point processes, one of the fundamental class of stochastic processes, and apply it to modeling and performance evaluation of cellular wireless networks.

Keywords

Point processes, Poisson processes, cox processes, stationary point processes, Palm theory, cellular wireless networks, coverage probability.

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Lectures with a blackboard. The document of each lecture will be uploaded to the OCW-i.
