Lecture: Mobile Communication

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. (The exercise Mo12.30-14.00 will only be offered if the number of participants yields two exercise groups.)

Other:

• Term: Master Computer Science, Diploma (Graduate)
• Requirements: see below
• Faculty: MA-INF 3202; alte DPO: B/C; neue DPO: B
• Effort: 2L+2E / 6CP (diploma 4CP)
• Follow-up/Side-events: A seminar will take place in the next lecture period. Subsequent to lectures "High Performance Networking" and "Mobile Communication" participating in a lab is possible.

Important Announcements:

The first lecture of Mobile Communication was on Tuesday April 09, 2013 at 14.30h in LBH room II.27/27a.

If you did not participate in this first lecture, please carefully read the "information on tutorials/exercises". Registration for the tutorial/exercise groups (group 1: Monday 12.30-14.00h, group 2: Tuesday 16.10-17.40h) will be done online via the TVS-system (https://puma.cs.uni-bonn.de/).
