2. 28 August 2015T863403 Kari Laitinen2 Course description Teaching language: English Learning objectives: The student will know some potential development trends of wireless communication technologies and applications. The student will be able to write a scientific paper for an international expert audience. Contents: Short introduction to subject. Series of student discourses related to developments in the wireless technologies. Evaluation of discourses. Requirements: Seminar work and active participation. Assessment: Grading scale 0.. 5.

3. 28 August 2015T863403 Kari Laitinen3 The Seminar on Wireless Future provides a forum for the students to practice preparing and presenting a paper in a scientific or engineering conference. Each student will prepare first an abstract and later a manuscript on a selected subject related to wireless technologies, and present it on the agreed date. The subject of the paper can be related to the subject of the Master’s Thesis of the student. In addition, each student will act as an opponent of another student’s presentation. A written self-evaluation and opponent’s advisory evaluation will also be required. The manuscript may be a review, a survey, or presentation of original (own) R&D results. General information
