This course is really good.Laernt many concepts of wireless/Its good for all of them who wants to understand concepts of cell in deep.
Doesn't go too much in depth. So it's very simple for a layman to understand, what exactly happens, that is, what is the flow of data between a user and the network in case of mobile communication
Great course. Tackles basics as well as advanced concepts in a way that is easy to understand.

A lot of interesting information but the difficulty of the various courses seemed very unbalanced to me. Some courses are quite basic, introductions to mobile networks but are followed by other courses that go quite deeply into the mathematical details of information theory while making many assumptions about the previous knowledge of the student.
Still a good course.
