Planning and Resource Management Models in Wireless Networks

PhD Course

Mission and goals

This course analyzes the most important techniques for discrete modeling of wireless networks available in literature. Technical issues and modeling impact on the outcomes are discussed for each considered aspect. The goal is to provide the students with a cutting-edge knowledge on the potential of the discrete modeling for wireless networks, in terms both of available techniques and of suitability for the desired application.
