To develop
a deep understanding on how random matrix theory can model the complexity of
interaction between wireless devices
·
To learn
some fundamental random matrix methods such as the Stieltjes
transform method, free probability theory, combinatoric
approaches, deterministic equivalents, and spectral analysis methods for
statistical inference
·
To
creatively apply these core theoretical concepts to a wide range of real-world
problems in wireless communications including performance analysis of CDMA,
MIMO, and multi-cell networks

Academic
dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent
means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an
assignment,
loss of credit with a notation on the transcript
(notation reads: "Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty"),
and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.
It is
your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For
information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the
Academic
Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm.
The
following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
·
Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that
is not one's own or for which other credit has been obtained.
·
Improper collaboration in group work.
·
Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests
and examinations.
