Vorlesung: Mobile Communication

The lecture and exercise on "Mobile Communication" will be offered twice in two locations at different times - but the contents will be exactly the same and will be "synchronised" throughout the whole semester: Each Tuesday morning exercise (bi-weekly) and lecture in the B-IT building, each Tuesday afternoon lecture and exercise (bi-weekly) at Römerstr. The lecture is offered for Master Computer Science (module MA-INF 3202), for Diploma students (DPO Informatik, Hauptstudium) and for B-IT students in Master Media Informatics. More information see below. Lecture and Exercises/Tutorials will be given in English language.
