Advanced Wireless Communication

Advanced Wireless Communication refers to the study and implementation of cutting-edge technologies, protocols, and techniques that enhance the performance, efficiency, and reliability of wireless communication systems. These systems include cellular networks, Wi-Fi, satellite communications, IoT networks, and emerging wireless paradigms like 6G. For IoT and cellular networks, we have completely different sections in this webpage which you can go through for extensive study purposes.
