课程特征 Course Features：
This MSc is a challenging one-year taught Masters degree programme that provides students with a range of advanced topics drawn from communication networks (fixed and wireless) and related signal-processing (including associated enabling technologies). It provides an excellent opportunity to acquire the necessary skills to enter careers in some of the most dynamic fields in communication networks.
This programme builds on the internationally recognised research strengths of the Communications Systems and Networks (CSN) Group within the Centre for Communications Research. This Group conducts pioneering research in a number of key fundamental and experimental work areas including Network Architectures, Cross Layer Interaction and Advanced Wireless Access. Recently the Group has developed optimised scheduling solutions that explout the features of the 3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) draft standard.
The MSc provides in-depth training in design, analysis and management skills relevant to the theory and practice of the communication networks industry. The programme was accredited by the IET in 2008 and is one of only a handful of accredited programmes in this field in the UK.
