- The objectives of this unit focus on understanding the structure of a cellular network and the functions performed by the different functional blocks. The operation of some local area network protocols is also studied. Students acquire skills in simulating cellular systems, studying their performance under different propagation scenarios. The unit also includes the development of applications for next-generation cellular networks.

- Students who successfully complete this course will be able to: (1) Describe the main problems and constraints in various mobile communication technologies; (2) Explore the advantages and limitations of different radio access networks; (3) Explain the mechanisms for supporting mobility and radio resource management in cellular networks; (4) Analyze the performance of the different handover, roaming, and location update management algorithms used in mobile networks. (5) Develop and propose new solutions to problems encountered in mobile networks through the study of different mobile communication protocols and networks.
- Mandatory
- The teaching methodology is based on theoretical and practical classes, using application examples and practical cases. Additionally, students develop practical work. The class is organized into working groups of 2 or 3 students, so that in the practical sessions they are confronted with problems where they seek their solution and implementation. The theoretical-practical classes provide the theoretical concepts and theoretical and practical tools for solving the proposed problems associated with each of the systems listed in the course program. Learning outcomes (1) to (5) are assessed individually through a written exam. Results (2) to (5) are also assessed during the practical work. The final grade is obtained by taking the weighted average of the exam and group work scores: NC = 0.6*Test + 0.4*Practical work.

A avaliação do Estágio compreende dois momentos:
a. avaliação de estágio intermédia - realizado até 60 dias após o início do estágio (avaliação formativa)
no qual deve constar a grelha de avaliação do orientador empresarial, assim como a grelha de avaliação
do estudante (autoavaliação), sendo que esta serve para medida qualitativa de apoio aos orientadores.
b. avaliação de relatório final de estágio e será efectuada mediante apresentação pública com a duração
máxima de 40 minutos a realizar até 30 dias de calendário após a sua entrega.
A classificação final do estágio curricular será expressa numa escala numérica de 0 a 20 Valores,
resultante de uma média ponderada pelos critérios de avaliação indicados
no número anterior, de acordo com os seguintes pesos de ponderação:
a. avaliação de estágio intermédia - 15%
b. avaliação de relatório final - 65%
c. avaliação de apresentação pública - 20%
A avaliação e classificação finais do Estágio será feita por um júri, presidido pelo Director do curso.- This training in a work context, Internship, which constitutes an integral and mandatory part of the professional higher technician course in Telecommunications, Electronics and Communications Systems will be held in a company. The student, together with the academic advisor and business advisor, will prepare a plan internship to be developed in a work context. Throughout the internship period, you will seek to develop and accomplish the same. This plan will indicate the general lines of the tasks to be carried out by the student in the scope of this curricular unit. A supervisor responsible for the internship will be appointed by the Institute. The company will appoint a supervisor that will accompany the internship, and at the end there will be a public presentation of the internship report that will be submitted for final evaluation.
- In general terms, it is intended that students in an internship environment in the companies where they are inserted can: - Apply, in a real context and in an integrated and interdisciplinary way, the knowledge acquired in the different components of the training. - Adapt and develop work habits according to the reality of a company. - Demonstrate capacity for interpersonal relationships with differentiated interlocutors with meaning ethical and deontological; - Describe the technologies, products and services present in companies. - Demonstrate versatility and a spirit of initiative; - Demonstrate the ability to adapt to the evolution of procedures and technologies; - Develop and publicly present reports and other documents.
