Important Announcements:

The registration is now open. Please register with TVS https://puma.cs.uni-bonn.de/ until 22.04.2014 12:00. You have to enter two choices for the tutorial date as required by the system, although we actually only offer one tutorial!

The first lecture of Mobile Communication was on Tuesday April 08, 2014 at 14.30h in LBH room II.27/27a. (Important information on tutorials exercises here)

On April 03, 1889 (i.e. 125 years ago from our year 2014), prominent Heinrich Hertz took a position of Professor of Physics and Director of the Physics Institute at the University of Bonn. More on his biography can be found here. Heinrich Hertz laid important foundations for wireless radio communication, about which you will learn in our lecture (among many other things).

Registration for the tutorial/exercise group (group Tuesday 16.00-17.30h) will be done online via the TVS-system (https://puma.cs.uni-bonn.de/). Information on the registration process will be given in the first lecture (an e-mail on the MoCo mailing list will follow - the registration process will start in the second lecture week).

The first assignment sheet will appear on Tuesday April 15, the first exercise will take place on Tuesday April 22..

The first practical assignment sheet will be published on Tuesday April 8. Questions on this will be taken after the lecture and/or the exercise/tutorial meetings.
