LEARNING OUTCOMES

Explain the technologies relevant to 3G networks including UMTS and WCDMA,Discuss Broadband Wireless Access implementation.Discuss the technologies of Mobile WiMAX compared to Cellular Mobile.Investigate how Mobile WiMAX is implemented, monitored, and maintained.

Case Study

The evolution of Wireless Broadband Access (WBA) technologies observes prominent development coming under the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards bodies. More importantly, the objective of achieving true 4 Generation technologies according to the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced systems of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) have intensified. Conduct a thorough research and produce a comprehensive report emphasizing on the technical similarities and differences that one technology has over the other. Subsequently evaluate the basic hardware and software requirements to successfully implement either one of the standards. In addition, consider the non-technical factors of commercial and historical nature in your research. Finally, also look into and report on the current status of each technology to determine the latest updates.

Following your literature review on the theoretical aspects of both standards’ technology, proposed a scenario for either one of the standard’s technology where the implementation of the chosen technology is best suited for. Justify the implementation using information from the literature review. The report must include a diagram to represent the suggested implementation for the proposed scenario. Additional diagrams and figures are encouraged to substantiate and complement the facts included.

Explanatory notesPresentation: Each member is required to give a presentation on the work produced and knowledge gained. The student will be assessed based on: clarity of presentation, quality of presentation, and ability to handle questions posed. (10%)

Relevance of information in literature review: This includes the relevance, sufficient coverage (i.e. technicalities and depth), up-to-date, and coherence, of the facts presented. (12%)

Additional Diagrams and/or Figures: This includes any diagrammatic and pictorial representation of facts for illustration and complementary purpose. (12%)

Validity and Accuracy of proposed Scenario: This relates to the individual contribution towards the proposed common scenario. Information included to support the validity and accuracy of the proposed scenario with the chosen WBA technology. (15%)



Evaluation and Critical Analysis: This includes evaluation and analysis of facts/figures followed by results or recommendations of evaluation. (15%)

Progress Report and Workload Matrix: A bi-weekly progress report indicating the work-in-progress or completed tasks (i.e. using GANTT chart). This is to evaluate the time management and discipline of student in completing the assigned tasks. A list or table showing the tasks being assigned to every member of the team. Each member is required to sign-off to acknowledge their responsibilities and to fulfil them. (6%)

Accuracy of Diagrammatic representation: The overall diagram(s) included representing the information researched by all members. Clear and accurate illustration of facts and figures providing ease in understanding and comprehension of ideas and solutions. (10%)

Documentation: This includes the cover page, contents page, page numbering, headings, header, footer, and proper sequencing and flow. (10%)

Citations and References: This includes the quality of references used: research papers, articles, books, journals, trade press, etc. and more importantly the adoption of Harvard Referencing system for citations and referencing of all facts and diagrams used. (10%)
