- 21 Mar. 2012 – The grades for Test 1 have been
posted. Problem set 3 has also been posted. Due 28 Mar. 2012 before the
guest lecture.
- 12 Mar. 2012 – Test 1 will be held on 14 Mar. 2012,
6:00 – 7:30 pm in MCLD 242. A review and Q&A on the first two
assignments will be done from 5:00 – 6:00 pm. For this test, you will be
responsible for materials up to L7: Mobility Management in Cellular
Networks. You can use your course notes (pdf
printouts), personal written notes, problem sets and solutions for
reference in the test. No other reference materials allowed. You may use a
scientific calculator, but all mobile phones and computers must be turned
off during the test.
- 16 Feb. 2012 –Test 1 has been further postponed to
14 Mar. 2012, due to conflicts with tests by other courses.
- 13 Feb. 2012 – Problem set 2 has been posted. Due 29
Feb. 2012. In view of the due date of problem set 2, we shall postpone
test 1 by one week, to 7 Mar. 2012.
- 16 Jan. 2012 – Problem set 1 has been posted. Due 25
Jan. 2012.
