Dear all,

Please find below ten subjects to choose from, for your personal assignment. Please send me by email (passas@di.uoa.gr) your three ordered preferences and I will reply by assigning to you one of them (the sooner the better). Note that you can also include any other subject of your choice outside the list, provided it is within the area of the course.

As mentioned in the first lecture, the assignment involves the preparation of a 15-minute video presentation on the subject assigned, that will be uploaded through the eclass platform (instructions to follow in due time). The presentation should mainly cover current state-of-the-art, open issues and main developments, rather than a specific research proposal. Language can be either English or Greek.

The grade of the assignment will contribute with 30% to the final grade (the other 70% will be from the final examinations). Deadline for submission is February 28, 2019.

1. Device-to-device communications in 4G networks: Technologies and standards

2. Current status of 5G deployments worldwide and plans for the future

3. Network slicing in 5G: What and how

4. Procedures for frequency licensing in public mobile networks

5. Internet-of-Things: Current status and the future

6. Interference in 2,4GHz: Why it occurs and how to handle

I also remind you that close to the New Year break a set of around 50 preparatory questions will be issued to help you with your study for the final examinations.
