系列讲座内容摘要：

    Wireless networking technologies have been evolving quickly into something that is indispensable to the everyday life of most people. This lecture series will chronicle where wireless technologies come from and where they are heading, towards the fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. We shall discuss some basic principles of wireless networks that are equally applicable to the first generation wireless networks and the emerging 5G networks. We shall describe the key features and operation principals of 1G-4G wireless networks, and highlight how these networks have evolved over the years to cater to the changing needs and increasing demands of users. We shall focus on the current generation wireless networks that are available in the market today. We shall conclude by reviewing the key challenges that will be addressed by the emerging 5G networks, and the important technologies being developed to address these challenges.
