    Overview

    Radio spectrum is limited natural resource that need to be shared among the systems and users. This course focused on the problems related to sharing of radio resources between users within single system (Radio Resource Management) and sharing of the spectrum between systems (Spectrum Management).

    The course is divided into two parts. Part I (Period IV) provides an overview of recent topics related to the radio resource and spectrum management. This part consists of lectures and  home works that are to be done individually. There will be five exercise sessions: studying articles and giving a short presentation, solving problems, etc..  Part II (Period V) is reserved for the group work, in which the students are expected to write conference paper like report and give a seminar talk on selected radio resource management / spectrum management topic. The group work is to be done in a group of 2 - 3 students.

    In addition, the students need to write a learning diary where they briefly summarize the learning of each lecture and document the process of preparing the group work.
