Cilji in kompetence:
Objectives and competences:

V okviru predmeta se bodo študenti seznanili s konceptom uvajanja kognitivnih tehnik v sodobne telekomunikacijske sisteme. Poudarek bo na naprednih tehnikah, arhitekturah in postopkih za izboljševanje izkoriščanja radijskega spektra, prenosnih virov in komunikacijskih vmesnikov ter na samodejnem upravljanju storitev in omrežja.

Cilji predmeta so (1) študente seznaniti z osnovnim konceptom uvajanja kognitivnih tehnik v brezžična in radijska omrežja, (2) predstaviti osnovno arhitekturo in funkcionalnost kognitivnih radijskih omrežij, (3) pregledati tehnike in postopke, ki se uporabljajo v kognitivnih radijih in omrežjih, in (4) predstaviti osnove koncepta avtonomnega upravljanja komunikacijskega omrežja.

Študenti bodo razvili sposobnost samostojnega raziskovalnega in razvojnega dela na področju kognitivnega radija in omrežja, ki vključuje načrtovanje, preskušanje in vrednotenje osnovnih postopkov kognitivnega delovanja komunikacijskih sistemov.

This course will introduce students into the concept of using cognitive techniques in contemporary telecommunication systems. The emphasys will be on advanced techniques, architectures and procedures for improvement of radio spectrum efficiency and resource management, for contextaware utilisation of communication interfaces and for autonomous management of networks and services.

The course objectives are to (1) introduce students with the concept of using cognitive techniques in wireless and radio networks, (2) present the basic architecture and functionalities of cognitive radio networks, (3) provide an overview of techniques and procedures used in cognitive radio and networks and (4) present the concept of autonomous network management.

Students will develop the ability to solve independent research and development tasks in the field of cognitive radio and networking, including design, testing and performance evaluation of basic procedures used in cognitive radio and networks.
